Knicks vs. Blazers Free Pick
NEW YORK, NY (ATS Consultants) – The Knicks are off to a brutal start but they could be a live dog today when they host the Trail Blazers at 7:30PM ET.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Knicks are 6.5-point home underdogs today against the 15-4 Blazers, who are also 5-2 on the road this season. The Knicks opened as 6.5-point underdogs so there hasn’t been any line movement for this game, while the total opened at 196 and has been bet down slightly to either 195 or 194.5, depending on the sports book you view.
Despite their ugly 4-17 record and their 3-8 home mark, the Knicks could be a solid play based on the trends. The Blazers are just 4-9-1 against the spread in their last 14 games in New York and 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games overall. They’re also 3-8 at the betting window in their last 11 games playing on two days of rest and just 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win.
On the other side, the Knicks are 8-2 against the number in their last 10 games versus a team with a winning straight up record and a perfect 6-0 against the spread in their last six games versus a team with a winning percentage above .600. So look for New York to play up to its competition tonight and cover against Portland.
