Knicks vs Spurs

Jalen Brunson and the Knicks roll into San Antonio on a three-game heater and 15–3 surge since early December, including that NBA Cup title win over these Spurs, while Victor Wembanyama’s group has stumbled late in back-to-back home losses and will again be without Devin Vassell on the perimeter, with Stephon Castle banged up as well. With New York’s core of Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges all active and already having solved the Wembanyama matchup in Las Vegas, backing the Knicks as slight road underdogs offers both a strong probability edge and plus-money value compared to the modest home juice on San Antonio.

Victor Wembanyama’s offensive gravity for San Antonio and Brunson’s usage for New York headline two attacks both hovering around 120 points per game, with top-10 efficiency and strong offensive rebounding driving extra possessions on each side. Their recent NBA Cup final finished 124–113 and both teams have been playing in high-scoring track meets, while injuries to key perimeter defenders like Vassell and Josh Hart, plus guard absences for New York’s second unit, tilt this matchup further toward offensive firepower than half-court grind. With the spread tight and both sides comfortable pushing tempo, the Over 237.5 gets the nod even at a lofty number, though the grade is tempered slightly by late-game variance in a potential playoff-level environment.

The Knicks’ frontcourt of Towns and Mitchell Robinson, supported by switchable wings Anunoby and Bridges, has already shown it can handle Wembanyama’s size and San Antonio’s glass work, and New York’s recent clutch-time form contrasts sharply with the Spurs’ late-game collapses in their last two outings. Even with Hart sidelined and San Antonio still featuring De’Aaron Fox as a downhill problem, Tom Thibodeau’s group has been sharper in fourth quarters, and their balanced scoring plus edge in playoff-tested shot creation from Brunson makes the short number attractive, especially when you’re catching a point instead of laying it with the slightly more injured home side.
