New York Knicks

Vegas Over/Under: 30.5

The Record Projection: 28-54 of fromal The Bet: Beneath with confidence that is marginal Rinse and repeat.
In 2013-14, the New York Knicks’ 37-45 record could not quite match their over/under of 49.5. In 2014-15, they came 23.5 games short of attaining their over/under of 40.5. In 2015-16, they’d their over/under place at 31.5 and won 32 games. In 2016-17, their 31-51 album fell well shy of this 38.5 over/under.
Each year, Vegas provides a realistic anticipation, listens as the public works itself into a frenzy about the diminished expectations for a major-market staff and then (probably) collectively yells as its prediction either turns out true or overly optimistic.
The last time New York exceeded the projection by more than a single game was 2012-13, and the roster was quite a little different. So if this year break the mould?
Yes, Kristaps Porzingis is gifted. Yes, Tim Hardaway Jr. could inject more offensive firepower into the lineup. Yes, Madison Square Garden will most likely be filled with cheering fans, even though some (many?) Of them will be rooting on the resistance.
However, Carmelo Anthony remains on the roster, and there’s no end in sight into the endless will-they-won’t-they exchange saga. Ron Baker, Frank Ntilikina and ramon Sessions comprise the rotation. Convincing thickness exists at zero places.
Please. Do not bet on the Knicks to acquire more than 30 games.
