Randy’s Pick
The New York Knicks are the healthier team at home, so they should be favored. The Spurs are still likely going to be without Devin Vassell. Still, the Knicks don’t have enough consistent offense to trust with massive sized chalk. The Spurs are a young, athletic squad that can push the pace and give the Knicks slow tempo trouble. This is just a lot of free buckets. It’s Spurs or pass for me.
