1. New York Knicks Win A Playoff Series
The New York New York Knicks began its return to relevance last season. They held home-court advantage in a playoff series but proved to be overmatched by Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks. That is what the team is trying to avoid this season and that is why they made the moves they did in free agency.
This year, it could be different if the Knicks finish near the top of the Eastern Conference. By predicting the Knicks to win a playoff series, this means they had another successful regular season.
It is hard to imagine the Knicks beating the likes of the Brooklyn Nets or Philadelphia 76ers so they will have to finish near the top half of the conference to avoid those teams in round one.
The additions of Fournier and Walker will bring more offensive firepower to the Knicks and this is what they were missing for much of last year.
