Vegas Over/Under: 30.5

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