New York Knicks

No NBA team covered the spread more often at home in 2025-26 than the Knicks, and none less often on the road. Our Knicks predictions, game by game, are above; the split is below.

The split

At home in 2025-26 the Knicks covered the spread in 27 of 40 games, 67.5%. Away from it they covered 15 of 41, 36.6%. No NBA team covered more often at home, and none less often on the road.

Straight up they were 30-10 at home and 22-19 away. One game was played at a neutral site and sits in neither column.

The season, game by game

Over the whole regular season the Knicks went 53-29 and covered 43 of 82 times, 52.4%: tied for thirteenth in the league, and almost exactly the rate a bettor needs at -110 just to break even.

One unit, every game

One unit on the Knicks to win, in each of the 81 games with a posted moneyline, finished 6.41 units down. At home it made 1.46 units; away it lost 8.42.

January did most of the damage: 7-8, and 4.48 units lost in a month that included home defeats as -550 favorites to Dallas, 114-97, and as -175 favorites to Philadelphia, 130-119.

As favorite and as underdog

The Knicks were favorites 65 times and won 47, covering 34. As underdogs they won 6 of 17 and covered 9; backing them to win in those games lost 4.73 units.

The teams they met most

The Toronto Raptors were the clearest case: five meetings, five Knicks wins, five covers. The Boston Celtics lost three of four to them, and the Brooklyn Nets all four.

The total

Forty-four unders and 38 overs: six games apart in 82, too close to call a lean.
