New York Knicks

Vegas Over/Under: 30.5

Fromal’s Record Projection: 28-54 The Bet: Under with confidence that is marginal Rinse and repeat.
In 2013-14, the New York Knicks’ 37-45 record couldn’t quite match their over/under of 49.5. Back in 2014-15, they came 23.5 games short of reaching their over/under of 40.5. In 2015-16, they had their over/under set at 31.5 and won 32 games. In 2016-17, their 31-51 record fell well shy of the 38.5 over/under.
Every year, Vegas provides a realistic anticipation, listens as the people works itself into a frenzy about the diminished expectations for a major-market staff and then (probably) collectively laughs as its forecast either ends accurate or too optimistic.
The last time New York exceeded the projection by more than one game was 2012-13, and the roster was quite a little different. So if this year break the mold?
Yes, Kristaps Porzingis is talented. Yes, Tim Hardaway Jr. could inject more offensive firepower to the lineup. Yes, Madison Square Garden will probably be full of cheering fans, even if some (many?) Of them will probably be rooting on the resistance.
However, Carmelo Anthony remains on the roster, and there’s no end in sight to the never-ending will-they-won’t-they trade saga. Ramon Sessions, Frank Ntilikina and Ron Baker comprise the spinning. Convincing thickness exists at zero places.
Please. Don’t wager on the Knicks to win over 30 games.
