Spurs vs. Knicks Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Spurs handed the Oklahoma City Thunder just their second loss of the season in the semifinals, and that’s the best form guide for the NBA Cup Championship.
Victor Wembanyama has returned and picked up where he left off. However, now they have De’Aaron Fox in the lineup, which makes the Spurs an even greater offensive threat, which is why the $2.13 odds are good value.
They come off three consecutive wins over the Pelicans, Lakers, and Thunder, and beating two of the best teams in the competition is good form. The Knicks are riding a winning streak of their own, but we think they’re false favourites at $1.72.
With the final being played in Las Vegas, the Spurs should have more crowd support. That could be a factor in the second half, so snap up the underdog odds.

Same Game Multi
Bookmakers aren’t giving Wembanyama much credit with the line at 21.5 points. His last four scoring totals are 38, 31, 26, and 22 points, and even when he’s not at his best, he’s still scoring in the 20s with ease.
Conversely, we think Karl-Anthony Towns will struggle. He comes off 29-point effort against the Magic, but with Wemby guarding the paint, and being a block machine, Towns could struggle to score inside the paint. Include KAT under 20.5 points in your NBA Cup same game multi bet.
They combined for 225 points when meeting in March last season, but there is more offence on display this season. It should be a high-scoring game, so it’s another good NBA multi bet pick.

Best Value Bet
There is every chance the Spurs take the first half lead and never look back. Many punters are relying on Jalen Brunson to provide the goods for the Knicks, but if he’s contained, they could struggle to keep up with the scoring of the Spurs.
There is a sense of belief in this Spurs team, and they would love to win the NBA Cup. It’s only an in-season tournament, but some hardware for their years of struggling would be a nice pay off for the fanbase.
$3.10 is a great price, so take the value before money comes for it.
