The Knicks’ monstrous offseason, during which they acquired Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets and Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves, has put them on the precipice of a legitimate championship push—one that would end a 51-year title drought in the Big Apple. It has created an imposing “Big 3” alongside Jalen Brunson, who could very well continue his push toward MVP consideration as he did last year.
Within a starting 5 that will also feature the defensive stalwart OG Anunoby and Josh Hart’s endless motor, the oddsmakers certainly see big things in New York’s future, as they have the third-shortest odds to win the 2025 NBA title behind the defending champion Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
