Spurs vs Knicks Prediction
The Knicks are more than capable of blowing the doors off against a Spurs team that’s banged up and going nowhere fast. However, the Knicks haven’t been covering these large numbers, and they’re just 31-35-1 ATS on the season. The Knicks have failed to cover eight of their last 11 games when favorites of seven or more points. I’m not excited to lay big numbers with the Knicks. The underdog has covered six of the last nine games between the Knicks and Spurs. Not my favorite game on a loaded NBA card, but it’s Spurs and the points or pass for me.
