Like this:
if ($node->isNew()) {
}
Note that this only works before saving, in insert/update, it will always return TRUE, because the node has already been saved and is no longer new.
In addition to the above answer, you also could check
if (!empty($node->nid)) {
}

2No, that is not correct like this. This specific code snippet is always true in 8.x because $node->nid is an object. $node->nid->value or just !$node->id() would work, except in special cases when saving a new node with a predefined ID (e.g. migrations). isNew() also also much more self-speaking than that check.– BerdirFeb 1, 2015 at 20:15
An updated entity will always contain a copy of the original entity:
if (isset($entity->original)) {
}
