We are getting closer to the most optimistic time of the basketal calendar: NBA Media Day.
As soon as we hear quotes such as “best form of my life” or “take the process a day at the same time”, we know that really basketball is coming.
This season the Knicks will go to the training camp even more than most of the competition while they are preparing for a trip to Abu Dhabi, which means that we will hear those quotes this week. So, in the spirit of the return to sharpen the NBA season, let’s look at the Knicks from a gambling perspective and watch what futures bets are worth making.
The conversation around the Knicks for the most part of the low season is aimed at new head coach Mike Brown and how he can improve a team that is just a NBA Finals -appear.
The Knicks finished third in the east last season with 51 victories, but 10 games behind the Celtics and 13 behind the Cavaliers. Those were also the two teams that could not beat the Knicks all the regular season.
Most sports books have the knicks between 52.5 and 53.5 victories for the season.
That means they should only win three games to overcome their highest number in a conference that became weaker.
They should not worry about the Celtics this season. Boston lost Jayson Tatum to an Achilles injury, and three other core players – Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday and Al Horford – were the victim of the second apron. The almost NBA champion Pacers will probably not have the same verve without Tyrese Haliburton, who will also miss the season with an Achilles injury.
That leaves the Cavaliers (56.5 Win Total) and magic (51.5 win total) as the two teams in the Eastern Conference with expectations so high or higher than the KNicks that enter the season.
There are some important factors that benefit the Knicks this season.
The last three campaigns have been in bad teams, including placing a 32-8 record against teams under .500 last season. Going .500 In all their other games, the Knicks would have set 53 victories and she would have a winning record at 54 victories.
Of course easily said than done, but in a conference that is suddenly weaker at the top, the Knicks just have to be a slightly better version than last year’s team, and they can erase their victory total.
You could claim that they are considerably better with the players they have drawn in free agency and Mitchell Robinson (knock on Wood) who starts the season healthy.
Bet on the NBA?
The incoherent coaching search of the Knicks rightly grabbed all the headlines in the summer and Brown will have to prove that he can be more effective than Tom Thibodeau when using his entire bank during the regular season. But the best parts of this team are all back.
I think this number is just too low in view of the ceiling that we saw during the late season of the Knicks. I will return the ‘Bockers to touch 53.5 this season.
The Play: Knicks more than 53.5 (-105, fanatics)
