Knicks Futures Odds
Win Total: 53.5
Atlantic Division: +350
Western Conference: +425
NBA Championship: +900
New Yorkโs preseason NBA odds are as optimistic as ever.
The Knicks havenโt been shorter than 10/1 to win the title in the preseason since they were +700 ahead of the 2000-01 campaign.ย
They also havenโt had a win total this high since 1997-98, when they had an over/under of 53.5 before finishing with 43 victories.

The trade for Bridges highlighted the Knicks’ busy offseason. It was the first trade between the New York rivals since 1983.ย
The Knicks sent the Nets five first-round picks to land Bridges, who, along with Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo, was part of a Villanova team that won two NCAA championships.
Another winning move the Knicks made this summer was signing Brunson to an extension. He signed a four-year, $156.5 million extension, which represents only 58% of what he could have earned by waiting until next offseason to get a deal.
However, New York did lose center Isaiah Hartenstein to the Oklahoma City Thunder in free agency. That could be a significant departure when assessing how the Knicks stack up against the top teams in the league.
Knicks 2024 Betting Prediction
Prediction: NBA Cup East Group A Winner (+160)
I donโt see any value in New Yorkโs current future odds, but there is an argument for betting this team to succeed in this yearโs NBA Cup.
The East Group A features the Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic, Charlotte Hornets, and Brooklyn Nets. The 76ers, who are +175 to win the group, are the most prominent challengers while trying to insert Paul George into their lineup.
As a result, the Villanova Knicks should have the chemistry advantage in this early-season competition. And they will be plenty motivated to win, given Tom Thibodeauโs track record of prioritizing regular-season success.
The Knicks are probably my favorite bet to win the NBA Cup at +1000, but Iโll take them to win their group instead. Anything can happen in the single-elimination tourney, as the Indiana Pacers proved last year.
