The Trail Blazers, on the other hand, are seeded ninth in the West, and they will head in Friday’s encounter on the back of a three-game losing streak.

These NBA odds tonight suggest that the Knicks are likely to take home court advantage and defeat the Trail Blazers. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay and a few player props for tonight’s game. 

Here’s how we are betting New York Knicks vs Portland Trail Blazers tonight. 

Best Bet for New York Knicks vs Portland Trail Blazers 

Best Bet: New York Knicks -7.5 (-108

Book: Best price at FanDuel 

Our Best Bet for New York Knicks vs Portland Trail Blazers is New York Knicks -7.5 (-108) against the spread.

The New York Knicks are seeded third in the standings with a record tied with the Boston Celtics. They occupy the third-best offense in the league and the 13th-best defensive rating in the league. The Portland Trail Blazers, on the other hand, are seeded towards the mid and lower rack in terms of offense and defense. 

The spread at New York Knicks -7.5 fits the hosts well considering they have home court advantage. They cover well in such spots. 

Considering their home court advantage, as well as their offensive and defensive edge, we are comfortably laying the New York Knicks -7.5 (-108) as our Best Bet and expect them to cover the number. 

Same-Game Parlay Picks for New York Knicks vs Portland Trail Blazers 

3-Leg SGP (Safer) 

  • Leg 1: New York Knicks -10.5 (alternate spread) 
  • Leg 2: Jalen Brunson Over 26.5 points 
  • Leg 3: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 19.5 points 

Combined odds: + 779 

We have built this same-game parlay around the New York Knicks winning comfortably at home. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns are the leading scorers for the Knicks, and are expected to dominate the charts against the Kings. 

These legs are correlated considering if the Knicks dominate the homecourt since the beginning, their players get volume, and they score big for the side. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
