NY -2.5 (-105)
The Knicks' historic playoff run has now reached 13 consecutive victories, and they continue to find ways to separate themselves when games are hanging in the balance. New York was the better team in crunch time in the opening two games of the series, while San Antonio’s young core is showing its age. Now the series shifts to Madison Square Garden, where the atmosphere should only amplify the Knicks’ edge.
De'Aaron Fox o5.5 Total Assists (-105)
De’Aaron Fox has topped out at five assists in the first two games of the NBA Finals, despite sitting second on the Spurs in total potential assists at 22. We’re seeing more pairings of him and Dylan Harper, with Fox taking a back seat in scoring when San Antonio goes small. The Spurs need to jump start their transition attack and play a quicker pace, so we’ll see Fox running the point more with Harper and Castle playing off the ball as the team banks on his steady veteran hand in what will be an insane MSG. He’s shown success getting inside on the Knicks defense and dropping the ball into Wembanyama at the rim or kicking to spot-up shooters. Most Game 3 projections lean toward six assists from Fox, with a ceiling at 6.2 dimes. My number comes out to 5.9 assists, which should have this Over asking around -112.
