New York Knicks
Eastern Conference · ELO profile, season simulation & model record
Season ELO trajectory
One point per game day: the team's ELO rating after that day's result, including playoffs. NBA ratings are season-scoped in our engine (every team re-seeds at 1500 each October, then the rating updates after every game), so trajectories are shown one season at a time and seasons are compared through their peak and final values in the table below. Hover a point for the date and the team's league-wide ELO position.
How predictable are the New York Knicks?
In line with the league 2025-26 · 95 predicted games
We grade every game forecast like a weather forecast: say 70% and it happens, good grade; say 70% and it does not, bad grade, with bigger penalties the more confident we were. Averaged over the season, the New York Knicks were 3.6% easier to call than the NBA average. How this is measured.

| 2024-25 | 94 | 61.7% | 67.3% | 70.2% (NBA 75.5%) |
