Knicks at Spurs picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 118, Spurs 106
Moneyline
PASS.
The Knicks have won 7 of their last 8 games and have won their last 2 road games against teams outside of the playoff picture by at least 12 points. They aren’t worth a play at -420 though.
Against the spread
BET KNICKS -9 (-110).
New York has covered in 4 of its last 5 games as a favorite, and it is 4-0-1 ATS in those 5. The Knicks have a plethora of scoring options as 6 players average double figures, so the absence of Randle shouldn’t impact them too much.
The Spurs will be missing 1 of their 3 players averaging over 12 points, so Johnson’s absence will be felt. They are 1-2 ATS in their last 3 at home and 3-4 ATS in their last 7 at home.
Considering those trends, back KNICKS -9 (-110).
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 212 (-110).
The Spurs are a young team and like to run. They rank 3rd in the NBA in pace. While the Knicks sit 30th in pace, they have an efficient offense that has scored at least 124 points in 2 straight games.
The Knicks have gone Over in 4 of their last 5. The Spurs, who have allowed at least 110 points in 5 of their last 7, have gone Over in 3 of their last 6.
Take OVER 212 (-110).
