The Knicks Can't Score Enough to Bury Anyone by 15
New York enters this game as one of the NBA's least efficient offenses through six games of the 2026-27 season, averaging just 107.0 points per game (27th in the league) with an offensive rating of 109.3 (24th). Their two wins this season have come by 14 and 6 points respectively — meaning the Knicks have never once won by more than 14 points all year. They're shooting a league-worst 50.4% on shots less than 10 feet from the basket, have the second-lowest true shooting percentage in the NBA at 53.1%, and OG Anunoby is connecting at just 27.8% from three. For New York to cover -14.5, they need a blowout performance that their early-season profile simply does not support. The bookmakers are pricing this at -901 on the moneyline — sharp money knows a cover is an entirely different ask.
