What the data says

The 2026-27 season is only 1 game old for the New York Knicks, so this section reads 2025-26 until they reach 10. The table above has both seasons.

The New York Knicks sat in the middle of the NBA by bet share in 2025-26: #10 of 30, with 52.2% of spread tickets on average and the public side (60%+ of bets) in 24 of 79 games.

Against the spread they went 42-37, and 13-11 as the public side. Their share of the money (51%) tracked their share of the tickets closely, so big and small bettors saw them the same way.

None of this is a pick. Across the league over the last two seasons, the side with 60% or more of spread bets covered about half the time, not enough to beat the bookmaker's margin by backing it or fading it. See tonight's NBA splits →
