Knicks at Spurs picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 122, Spurs 114
Moneyline
Go ahead and AVOID the moneyline in this game due to a lack of value. While I wouldn’t recommend taking New York (-190) to win straight up, I’m fine with including it to win in a parlay at the current odds.
Against the spread
KNICKS -4.5 (-115) is an enticing bet in this game with both teams struggling recently. Even though Barrett is out and Brunson is questionable, New York should still be able to win by at least 5 points.
The Knicks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games. Meanwhile, the Spurs are 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games.
Over/Under
Despite both teams being banged up, OVER 228.5 (-115) appears to be the correct way to bet the total. This will be a pace-up game for the Knicks as the Spurs play at the 8th-fastest pace in the NBA.
Both of these teams have hit the Over in each of their last 5 games overall. The Over is also 9-1-1 in the last 11 meetings between the Knicks and the Spurs in San Antonio.
