New York Knicks History

The New York Knicks were founded in 1946 as one of the charter teams of the Basketball Association of America (BAA), which later merged with the National Basketball Association (NBA). Playing their home games at the iconic Madison Square Garden, the Knicks quickly became a cornerstone of professional basketball. Their early years featured star players like Dick McGuire and Carl Braun, setting the foundation for future success.

In the 1970s, the Knicks reached the pinnacle of their success. Led by legendary players like Walt “Clyde” Frazier, Willis Reed, and Earl Monroe, they captured NBA championships in 1970 and 1973. The team’s hard-nosed defense, combined with an unselfish offensive philosophy, earned them a lasting reputation as one of the most formidable squads of that era.

The Knicks saw a resurgence in the 1990s, spearheaded by Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, and John Starks. Though they didn’t secure another championship, the team consistently made deep playoff runs and captivated fans with their fierce rivalry against the Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacers. Despite recent struggles, the Knicks remain a prominent franchise with a passionate fan base.

New York Knicks Stats

At the time of writing, they rank 9th in offensive efficiency and 7th in defensive efficiency, reflecting a balanced approach on both ends of the floor.

However, areas for improvement remain. Turnovers have plagued the team, as they average 14.9 turnovers per game, ranking 25th in the NBA. Additionally, they’ve struggled to close out games against elite teams, with a record of 4-10 in matchups against top-five seeds.

New York Knicks Roster for 2024-2025

The Knicks have a dynamic roster headlined by recent acquisition Karl-Anthony Towns, who brings elite scoring and rebounding. Jalen Brunson continues to be the heart of the team, leading with his exceptional playmaking and clutch performances. OG Anunoby has solidified himself as a defensive anchor, while Mikal Bridges provides versatility and reliable scoring. Josh Hart, a fan favorite, brings hustle and energy off the bench, contributing in every facet of the game.

Despite their depth, the Knicks need more consistency from their bench and better production from younger players like Quentin Grimes, who has shown flashes but struggled with inconsistency.

Key Players for Betting on the New York Knicks

Our handicappers have already started making money betting on rebound props for the Knicks this season. Among the players we’re betting props on, the tip five stand out:

Karl-Anthony Towns
Jalen Brunson
OG Anunoby
Mikal Bridges
Josh Hart

Karl-Anthony Towns

Karl-Anthony Towns has been a game-changer for the Knicks this season, adding a versatile offensive dimension with his ability to score both in the paint and from beyond the arc. Averaging over 23 points and 10 rebounds per game, Towns has been a double-double machine, making him a solid pick for player props on points and rebounds. His three-point shooting is another area of value, especially against teams with slower big men who struggle to guard him on the perimeter.

Additionally, Towns’ high free-throw percentage for a center adds value to props involving total points in close games. Bettors should also consider his performance in high-stakes games, as he tends to elevate his play against top-tier opponents.

Jalen Brunson

Jalen Brunson has emerged as the Knicks’ undisputed leader, delivering consistent performances as both a scorer and playmaker. Averaging around 22 points and 7 assists per game, he’s a reliable choice for props on points, assists, and combined PRA (points, rebounds, assists). Brunson excels in pick-and-roll situations, which allows him to exploit mismatches and rack up assists to open shooters or cutting big men.

His clutch performances make live betting on his second-half scoring a savvy strategy. Bettors should also pay attention to Brunson’s matchups against weaker defensive backcourts, as he has a knack for dominating lesser opponents.

OG Anunoby

OG Anunoby has quickly become one of the Knicks’ most valuable two-way players, known for his lockdown defense and improving offensive game. His ability to guard multiple positions makes him a consistent pick for props involving steals and blocks, especially against turnover-prone teams.

Anunoby is also averaging a career-high in three-point shooting this season, making him a sneaky pick for over/under props on made threes in games where he gets open looks. On offense, he’s developing into a reliable secondary scorer, particularly in fast-break opportunities, which adds upside to PRA props in uptempo matchups. His versatility makes him a player to watch for both defensive and offensive props.

Mikal Bridges

Mikal Bridges has been a critical piece for the Knicks this season, providing scoring, defense, and playmaking. With an average of 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists per game, he’s a strong candidate for PRA props, especially in games where the Knicks emphasize ball movement.

Bridges’ defensive instincts also make him a valuable pick for steals props, particularly in games against teams with weak ball-handling. His ability to hit timely shots and get to the free-throw line adds to his value for point props in tightly contested games. Bettors should target Bridges in matchups against teams with smaller wings, where his size and skill can dominate.

Josh Hart

Josh Hart is the Knicks’ Swiss Army knife, impacting the game in every possible way. Known for his relentless hustle, Hart excels at grabbing rebounds, often surpassing his listed rebound prop line, particularly in matchups against smaller lineups. While his scoring isn’t his primary focus, Hart’s ability to contribute across the board makes him a great target for PRA props, especially when the Knicks play at a faster pace.

His defensive tenacity can also lead to value in steals props, especially against high-turnover teams. Bettors should watch for games where Hart is tasked with guarding elite wings, as his all-around contributions often spike in those matchups.
