While the Spurs return home facing elimination, I believe the value lies with the Knicks against the spread.
New York has consistently demonstrated resilience throughout the playoffs and has been the more reliable team in late-game situations. Their veteran leadership, disciplined execution, and ability to perform under pressure have allowed them to take a commanding 3-1 series lead.
The Spurs will undoubtedly play with urgency in front of their home crowd, but the pressure of a must-win game can sometimes create additional challenges, especially for a younger roster. Even if San Antonio manages to secure a victory, asking them to win comfortably against a confident Knicks team may be a difficult task.
From an ATS perspective, the Knicks have been one of the strongest road teams in the postseason, consistently competing in tight games and exceeding market expectations. With New York receiving points, they appear to offer the better value side.
Note: Knicks cover 8 straight road ATS
Pick: Knicks +5.5 ATS
