The Knicks will be without Landry Shamet, Josh Hart, and Mitchell Robinson. Ariel Hukporti is questionable.

New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction


The Spurs will be up for this game after two questionable losses, but they’re potentially down two rotation players in Vassell and Castle. The Knicks have injuries of their own, but they continue to find ways to win, and you don’t get them in the underdog role often. This will be just the fifth time this season the Knicks have been underdogs. The underdog has also covered 5 of the last 7 games between the Knicks and Spurs. I’ll take a stab with the Knicks and the free bucket.

Randy Chambers's Pick: New York Knicks +1.5
