NBA 2018-19: 5 Most Ridiculous Vegas Over/Under Odds

#4 New York Knicks - 29.5, Under

Only a speedy recovery from Porzingis will help the Knicks

Despite the impressive addition of head coach David Fizdale, this season is going to be a long one for Knicks fans.

The Knicks failed to make the playoffs in the last five seasons, and this year shouldn’t be so much different. If their roster wasn’t bad enough to begin with, Kristaps Porzingis' injury ends the conversation on NY's chances to challenge a playoff spot.

After the Latvian tore his ACL, the Knicks won just six of their final 27 games of that season. According to reports, Porzingis is scheduled to return around February, meaning he will likely miss between 50 to 60 games this season. With their star player out for the majority of the season, the Knicks are expected to carry their poor form from the end of the previous season.

Even though they're not the worse team in the Eastern Conference on paper and have a potential rookie of the year candidate in Kevin Knox, once you remove Porzingis from the team, you get one that could finish with a win total closer to 20.
