Oddsmakers don’t expect the Knicks to miss a step next season. 

DraftKings Sportsbook has pegged the Knicks’ win total at 52.5 after switching coaches and filling out their rotation this summer. 

It’s the franchise’s second-highest Over/Under this century after they went into last season with a win total of 53.5. 

Only four teams currently have a higher win total than the Knicks. 

The reigning champion Thunder easily have the highest Over/Under at 62.5 after winning an NBA-best 68 regular-season games last year. 

The Cavaliers, who are sitting at 55.5 wins, are the only other Eastern Conference team with a higher total than the Knicks. 

Riding big offseason additions, the Rockets (54.5 wins) and Nuggets (53.5 wins) are the only other teams with better forecasts than the Knicks. 

Vegas bookies also like the Knicks’ postseason chances. 

At +850, the Knicks are tied with the Cavaliers for the fourth-best 2026 NBA title odds. 

After winning 51 games last season with a thin rotation, the Knicks are arguably more equipped to have a strong regular season in 2025-26. 

The Knicks filled out their bench during the early days of free agency, adding forward Guerschon Yabusele and veteran backup point guard Jordan Clarkson without any meaningful departures. 

There will likely be a bit of a learning curve after the switch from Tom Thibodeau to Mike Brown as the team’s head coach, but I like the Knicks to win a few more games next season after their shrewd additions and another year of camaraderie.

The play: Knicks over 52.5 wins (-110, DraftKings Sportsbook)
