The Spurs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games and 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games overall. The Knicks are 10-21-2 ATS in their last 33 home games and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall. The over is 11-1 in Spurs last 12 overall. The over is 6-2 in Knicks last 8 overall. The under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in New York.

The San Antonio Spurs are a mess and not a team I’m excited to back in any role. However, the New York Knicks have cooled off drastically over the last week, and they win at home by an average of just 3.5 points. This will be just the fourth time this season the Knicks are favorites of 7.5 or more points. If forced to pick, give me the Spurs and free points.
