Knicks schedule 2022-23: Dates, times, national TV games, final record prediction image

The 2022-23 NBA schedule has been revealed, getting us one step closer to the start of the new season.

The Knicks will be a team of intrigue after making one of the biggest splashes in free agency, signing former Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson to a four-year, $104 million contract after the 25-year-old had a breakout season in 2021-22.

Brunson evolved into Dallas' second-best player, averaging 21.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists over 18 playoff games in the team's run to the Western Conference Finals.

He'll join a core group of RJ Barrett, Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson as the Knicks try and return to the playoffs for the second time in three seasons.

After qualifying for the postseason in 2020, New York came up short of expectations last season, finishing with a 37-45 record. Can Brunson be the leader the Knicks need to bring playoff basketball back to Madison Square Garden?

Knicks national TV games 2022-23

The Knicks have 13 nationally televised games on ESPN, ABC or TNT. When you include their three NBA TV games, New York has 16 total nationally televised games for the 2022-23 season.

Here are some of the Knicks' notable national TV games:

  • Oct. 19: at Grizzlies (ESPN)
  • Nov. 9: at Nets (ESPN)
  • Dec. 7: vs. Hawks (ESPN)
  • Dec. 25: vs. 76ers (ESPN)
  • Jan. 31: vs. Lakers (TNT)

Knicks 2022-23 record prediction

According to Fan Duel, the Knicks' win total over/under for the 2022-23 season is set at 39.5.

New York won 37 games in 2021-22 and it only got better with the addition of Brunson.

If Randle can return to his All-Star form and Barrett, who is still only 22, continues to progress, there is no reason the Knicks shouldn't be more than three wins better than last season.

Even though the East continues to get stronger, I expect New York to improve and hit the over.

Prediction: 42-40
