Knicks Game 1 computer picks
Josh Hart Under 1.5 threes (+140)
Projection: 1.33 threes
Our computer's lone five-star play of the night is Josh Hart to fall short of his 3-point line at plus-odds, with a +24.98% EV edge.
The New York Knicks SG has missed the Over in six of his last 10, and he plays in a system that's been the seventh-least aggressive when it comes to 3-point attempts across the last 25 games.
Karl-Anthony Towns Under 4.5 assists (-155)
Projection: 3.75 assists
Karl-Anthony Towns' assists have risen steadily since the playoffs started, as he's hit the Over in eight of his last 10. But our computer believes now is the time to sell on the Knicks big man.
Towns has gone Under in two of his last three, and the Knicks have played at the slowest tempo in the NBA over the last 25 games.
OG Anunoby Under 5.5 rebounds (+102)
Projection: 5.37 rebounds
OG Anunoby has gone below this line in four of his last six games, and there's an 8.37% EV edge associated with backing the Under again here.
The San Antonio Spurs have been a tough team to rebound against all year, ranking eighth in opponent boards per game.
Spurs Game 1 computer picks
Julian Champagnie Over 9.5 points (-125)
Projection: 11.77 points
Julian Champagnie has beaten this line in six of his last eight overall, and our computer is calling for him to go Over again by more than a full basket.
Our system sees the 3-ball as the key to success for Champagnie.
"This year when they are on their home court, the opposing team's starting PFs have averaged 47.7% on threes (2nd-highest in the NBA) against the Knicks, labeling this as a positive matchup."

De'Aaron Fox Over 15.5 points (+100)
Projection: 16.55 points
De'Aaron Fox was playing hurt and was most neutralized by the Oklahoma City Thunder, going below his points prop in all five games he played in the Western Conference Finals. But our system has identified multiple angles that suggest Fox can bounce back.
"Offensive rebounds preserve possession and spark further opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Spurs rank 4th-best in in the league with 13.1 offensive boards per game over the last 10 games.. This year, opposing starting PGs have attempted 4.3 free throws per game (6th-highest in the league) against the Knicks, making it fairly effortless to get to the free-throw line."
Stephon Castle Over 16.5 points (-102)
Projection: 17.67 points
Another Spurs points prop, another four-star Over play for our computer. This one comes out to a 15.65% EV edge.
Stephon Castle should make it rain on the Knicks from downtown tonight.
"The matchup against the Knicks is a positive one for three-pointers; the opposing team's starting SGs have posted the highest 3-point rate in the NBA this year (44.7%)."
