The market likes San Antonio, around Spurs -5.5 / -200 ML, because they’re home in an elimination spot. But I don’t trust the Spurs mentally after blowing that 29-point lead, and Wemby has looked like he’s carrying a massive load. Knicks are older, steadier, and Brunson/KAT/OG have been better late-game.
So:
Winner: Knicks
Spread lean: Knicks +5.5
Series: Knicks in 5
The only thing that scares me is the “Scott Foster extender” angle, but the Knicks are also 10-0 ATS recently with Foster, so I’m not letting that push me off them.
0
I think the Knicks win tonight and close it.
My call: Knicks 108, Spurs 104.
