New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Knicks are getting respect because of this run they’re on and the massive rest advantage. Throw in the points, and you can talk yourself into value. I get it, and I don’t want to take anything from the Knicks. However, I’ve been on the Spurs all season and all playoffs, and I’m not backing down. The Spurs are the best team in the league and are far more than Wemby. The Spurs have home-court advantage, several defenders to bother Brunson, and I don’t believe the Knicks have the depth to withstand the wave of guys the Spurs can throw out there. If anything, the soft line creates value for the Spurs. I’m not backing off my Spurs position. It’s that simple. I’ll lay the points.
