Trail Blazers at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 112, Trail Blazers 107
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Knicks (-285) are far too expensive a play here, but they should win at home.
BET TRAIL BLAZERS +7.5 (-110).
The Knicks have struggled at The Mecca of Basketball, Madison Square Garden, since the new year. They are 3-4 ATS at home in 2026 and 6-8 ATS overall. New York has struggled offensively, scoring 113 points or fewer in 5 of its last 8 contests.
Portland has covered often as of late and is 2-1 ATS in its last 3 away games. It has gone 5-2 ATS across its last 7 games, scoring at least 111 points in 5 of those. Considering those trends, take TRAIL BLAZERS +7.5 (-110).
BET UNDER 225.5 (-115).
If there’s one way both sides are trending, it is the Under. The Trail Blazers have scored fewer than 100 points in 2 of their last 3 games and are 2-6 O/U across their last 8 contests.
The Knicks have gone Under in 6 straight performances and have allowed 110 points or fewer in all but one of those games. Considering those trends, back UNDER 225.5 (-110).
