Knicks vs Spurs

Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs get a strong home bounce-back spot despite a two-game skid, facing a Knicks team on a three-game heater but down key rotation pieces in Mitchell Robinson, Josh Hart and Landry Shamet. With Wembanyama historically crushing New York’s front line and San Antonio profiling as an elite two-way group, the loss of the Knicks’ best rim protector looms large against a Wembanyama–De’Aaron Fox core that still has its primary engines, while New York leans heavily on Jalen Brunson’s shot-making. Between the Spurs’ home edge, slightly cleaner injury report and a market-implied win chance in the mid‑50s, I’m siding with San Antonio on the moneyline at -128, though the Knicks’ recent form keeps this in solid, not slam-dunk, territory.

Jalen Brunson’s Knicks bring one of the league’s most efficient offenses into San Antonio, but they run into a Spurs team that also grades as top-tier offensively while currently mired in a mini-slump and missing secondary scorer Devin Vassell, which has dragged down their recent shooting and tempo. The Cup final rematch narrative and both offenses’ season-long firepower push this total high, yet San Antonio’s recent run of unders, New York’s own defensive issues stabilizing a bit in second halves, and heavy late-December minutes for stars like Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Wembanyama all point toward slightly fewer possessions and more half-court grind than the number suggests. I’ll lean Under 236.5 at -106, expecting both efficient but somewhat fatigued offenses to land in the low 230s rather than blowing past this elevated total.

Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks have been stacking wins while paradoxically sliding against the spread, as their recent three-game surge and overall hot run have tightened numbers even as injuries thin their depth, and now they walk into a Frost Bank Center revenge spot where the Spurs are laying only a short -2 off two straight home losses. San Antonio’s strong home ATS profile and Wembanyama’s dominant track record versus New York suggest the Spurs can absolutely edge this, but with Vassell out, some late-game creation pressure shifts even more onto Fox and Wembanyama, whereas Brunson’s history of carving up the Spurs and Towns’ success against them make a one‑possession finish highly likely. Given the opposing streaks, key absences on both sides and the expectation of another tight, high‑leverage late‑game between recent Cup finalists, I prefer grabbing New York +2 at -105, allowing room for either a narrow Knicks win or a Spurs squeaker.
