Tonight, the Knicks (44-30) will look to get back on track when they head to Miami to take on the Heat (41-33). This is a critical game for both teams, as the Eastern Conference playoff race could not be tighter. Just 3 games separate the 3rd place Cavaliers and the 7th place Heat. And with the Knicks squished in the middle, this will be a high intensity affair in Miami.

Tonight, the Knicks (44-28) look to extend their hot streak against another bottom feeder, the San Antonio Spurs (17-56). San Antonio has ROY frontrunner Victor Wembanyama leading the charge, and his impact on the floor cannot be overstated. His defensive awareness, combined with his incredible physical attributes, have made it so teams don’t even drive into the lane when his limbering body is parked in the paint.

Tonight, the Knicks (43-28) head to Toronto to take on the plummeting Raptors (23-49). Toronto has lost 11 straight games, and there is really no light at the end of the tunnel for the Raptors. They traded away OG Anunoby, Pascal Siakam, Precious Achiuwa, and Dennis Schroder this season, leaving them with an unrecognizable starting lineup.

Tonight, the Knicks (42-28) will look to keep their newfound momentum going, as they get a visit from the lowly Detroit Pistons (12-59), who are merely playing out the rest of the season. The Pistons were expected to have a 30+ win season as they came out of their rebuild. However, between injuries, poor coaching, and plenty of close losses, Detroit finds themselves in the basement of the league once again.

Tonight, the Knicks (40-27) continue their road trip with a visit to San Francisco to take on the Golden State Warriors (35-31). Golden State is currently sitting in the 9th seed in the Western Conference and appears destined to feature in the play-in tournament, with -2000 odds to do so.

Handicapping the NBA Title Odds for Western Conference Contenders
by Spencer Toth - 3/15/2024

There is no shortage of title contenders in the Western Conference, with a whopping 8 teams coming in with +3500 or shorter title odds. There are a pair of obvious contenders, reigning champions the Denver Nuggets (+350) and front-loaded LA Clippers (+500), who have emerged as the clear favorites, but there are still plenty of other teams capable of making waves. It’s hard to justify a multiple-month bet with such short prices, but at +2000 or +3000, it’s a much easier pill to swallow.

There are few better feelings than carefully selecting an NBA title winner, sitting on the wager for a couple months, and collecting a solid payout at the conclusion of the NBA season. In the Eastern Conference, two teams have pulled away from the chasing pack, leaving juicy price tags available on their competitors.

Tonight, the New York Knicks (38-27) open up a 4-game road trip in Portland, taking on the Trail Blazers (19-46). Portland managed to win last night against the Hawks and are a remarkable 4-4 in their last 8 games. Their lineup has been plagued with injuries all season long. And with a majority of their starters back in action (not that it will have any tangible results), Portland has the chance to wrap up the season on a high note.

Tonight, the Knicks (37-27) and the 76ers (36-28) run it back at Madison Square Garden, as both teams jockey for playoff positioning down the stretch. This matchup isn’t what it could’ve been, as Joel Embiid remains out for Philadelphia, while Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson are both still on the shelf for the Knicks. With both team’s bigs on the bench, the marquee matchup will go down on the perimeter, as Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxey go toe-to-toe.

by Joey House - 3/11/2024

After getting whacked the previous two Sundays by unders, Vegas did their best to ensure that didn't happen again. While they weren't a perfect 100% this past Sunday, unders still cashed at a 75% clip, with six out of nine totals going below the mark. This begs the question that is being asked among handicappers and bettors: Is the ultimate under run over?

Tonight, the Knicks (36-26) host the Orlando Magic (37-26) in a crucial matchup that will go a long way in determining playoff seeding. There are 20 games left in the season. And with just two and a half games separating 4th and 8th in the East, there is still plenty to play for down the stretch. Orlando is coming into this one having won 5 straight games, as their fully healthy lineup has been able to take care of inferior opposition. However, not all 5-game win streaks are built equal.
