Knicks vs. Spurs Game 1 Odds
Game Preview
The Knicks swept the Cavaliers in the East finals, beating the rivals from Ohio by at least 11 points in each of their games. It was highly impressive to see NYK rolling over them in Cleveland, and winning 121-108 and 130-93.
The undeniable leader of the team is Jalen Brunson, who delivers 26.9 points during the playoffs with 6.6 assists. OG Anunoby positioned himself as the second-best scorer with 19.7 buckets, while Karl-Anthony Towns adds a double-double per game, 16.9 points and 10.6 boards.
As for the Spurs, they are one wild bunch. Their progress during the playoffs and the ability to adjust are impressive for a young team. Beating the Thunder in Game 7 in OKC is really a huge achievement, but it won’t do any good without a win in the finals.
Wemby is the team leader, but 5 other players have double-digit point totals. Plus, the Spurs have Keldon Johnson, who is ready to step up and score 20 points no matter the circumstances.
