New York Knicks
The New York Knicks have been in red-hot form as they’ve won seven of their last eight games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight win after blowing past the Raptors in a 145-101 road win on Wednesday. Miles McBride led the team with 29 points and seven assists, Jalen Brunson added 26 points and seven assists, Precious Achiuwa scored 19 points and 12 rebounds off the bench while Donte DiVincenzo chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Knicks shot 58 percent from the field and a sizzling 22 of 44 from the 3-point line as they dominated right from the start, setting the tone with 45 points in the first quarter and outscoring the Raptors right till the end to finish with one of their most dominant wins of the season. The Knicks will meet the Thunder after this one.
San Antonio Spurs
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have come to life with a couple of wins on the trot and they will be eager to keep it going after taking down the Jazz in a 118-111 road win on Wednesday. Devin Vassell led the team with 31 points, four rebounds and six assists, Victor Wembenyama added 19 points with eight rebounds, six assists and five blocks while Jeremy Sochan and Malaki Branham each scored 17 points. As a team, the Spurs shot 51 percent from the field and 16 of 33 from the 3-point line, but this win was set up with their effort on defense as they were always in control after limiting the Jazz to just 15 points in the first quarter to build an early 19-point lead.

Knicks vs Spurs prediction
The Knicks are still missing Julius Randle and OG Anunoby, while the Spurs are keeping an eye on Keldon Johnson, who is questionable with knee soreness. The Knicks are really starting to heat up again, and they looked great in their massive win over the Raptors on Wednesday. The Spurs have looked better in their last two games, which have resulted in wins over the Suns and the Jazz. The line is hefty for this one, but the Knicks are one of the hottest teams in the league at the moment, and I think they maintain their momentum with another win and cover in this spot.
