The New York Knicks (24-14) visit the Portland Trail Blazers (19-20) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Sunday, January 11, at the Moda Center.

The Trail Blazers look to extend their impressive five-game home winning streak when they host the Knicks on Sunday. Recently, they secured a gritty 111-105 victory over Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets. 

Deni Avdija, who has been a revelation for Portland averaging 26.1 points this season, put up 20 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds in the win. Toumani Camara led the scoring charge with a team-high 25 points, including five made three-pointers.

The Knicks, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back after a tough 112-107 loss to the Phoenix Suns. Despite Jalen Brunson’s 27 points and 5 assists, New York couldn't overcome Phoenix's late surge.

Karl-Anthony Towns contributed a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds, but the Knicks' defense struggled to contain the Suns' perimeter shooting down the stretch.

It has been a very rough stretch for the Knicks, who have lost five of their last six games. On Sunday, they'll continue to miss the services of all-around wing Josh Hart and sharpshooter Landry Shamet.

Meanwhile, the severely short-handed Blazers will be without Jerami Grant, Jrue Holiday, Matisse Thybulle, and Scoot Henderson.

Portland Trail Blazers - New York Knicks Key Points

  1. The Knicks have the better offensive and defensive rating.
  2. The Blazers will miss the services of Jerami Grant, Jrue Holiday, Matisse Thybulle, and Scoot Henderson.
  3. Knicks star Jalen Brunson is averaging 26.6 points on 61.9% True Shooting in the last five games.

Our Portland Trail Blazers vs New York Knicks Prediction

Despite a recent tough stretch for the Knicks, their star power and roster depth make them the favorites against the Blazers. Jalen Brunson has been scoring efficiently, and they have their key players available, with the exception of Josh Hart.

The Blazers have won big games lately, but this is still a severely short-handed squad without Jerami Grant and Jrue Holiday. Our prediction for the Portland Trail Blazers vs New York Knicks match is: Knicks (-4.5) cover the spread.
