Season Profile Comparison: New York Knicks vs Memphis Grizzlies

The season numbers are organized into four categories to keep the story clear without one long table. The best read usually comes from the two “driver” stats in each section, then the rest of the rows show how that edge can hold up.

Record & Scoring

New York Knicks comes in ahead in win rate (53.7) and point margin (6.3), which is the cleanest scoring baseline in this section. If that holds, New York Knicks can win even without perfect shot-making by avoiding long empty stretches.

Record (W-L) 53-29 25-57
Win Percentage 53.7 32.5
Points For 116.5 114.7
Points Against 110.1 120.7
Points Margin 6.3 -6

Efficiency

Efficiency leans to New York Knicks on both key stats: shooting efficiency (111.9) and field goal efficiency (55.7). In a one-game sample, that usually shows up as cleaner scoring without needing extra possessions to keep up.

Free Throw % 0.8 0.8

Tempo, Ratings & Turnovers

New York Knicks leads in net rating (6.6) and also has the cleaner turnover number (12.8), which typically shows up as steadier stretches across quarters. If pace climbs, the team that protects the ball usually keeps the margin from swinging.

Net Rating 6.6 -6.1
Offensive Rating 116.8 109.7
Defensive Rating 110.2 115.8
Turnovers Per Game 12.8 14.6

Rebounding, Ball Movement & Disruption

New York Knicks has the edge on second chances (0.3), but Memphis Grizzlies wins on disruption through steals (8.8), so this section is a trade. The swing often comes from whether the game is clean enough for rebounding to matter more than live-ball turnovers.

Rebounds Per Game 45.6 42.1
Offensive Rebounds 0.3 0.2
Defensive Rebounds 0.8 0.7
