The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 62-20 record overall which had them right near the top of the Wst with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have looked great on their home court too with their 32-8 record this season. Meanwhile, the Knicks have looked really good in their games this season with their 53-29 record overall which had them right near the top of the East. They have been a good road team too with their 22-19 road record this year. This is game 1 of a 7-game series between the 2 seed Spurs from the West and the 3 seed Knicks from the East for the NBA Finals. The Knicks have been rolling in the playoffs lately and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 11 wins in a row now. They have swept their opponent in each of the last 2 rounds and they have been crushing opponents by double digits in these games. As good as the Knicks have been though, they have had a lot of trouble in their road games this year and they have also played in a weaker Eastern Conference. They didn't have the same difficulty as the Spurs to get to the Finals and they have been off for so long now that their rest could turn to rust. The Spurs needed 7 games to beat the Thunder and they definitely exerted more energy in that series, but now they have won 2 games in a row and they have all of the momentum on their side after taking down the defending champions. They have also been really tough to beat in their home games this year and will be looking for revenge since they did lose to the Knicks in the NBA Cup Final. Look for the Spurs to come out strong on their home court in game 1 and take advantage of that longer layoff for the Knicks. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.

“Our guys played great. You’re in the conference finals and score 65 points off of offensive rebounds and fast break points. I don’t know if I’ve seen that at this point of the year. We wanted to push the pace." - Mike Brown after his team’s win against the Cavaliers in game 4 of Eastern Conference Finals on Monday. 

“Yeah, the game is changing in front of our eyes. Those guys are probably at the forefront of that evolution of the game. You’d get a tall kid and tell him you’re supposed to screen and then play underneath the basket. And now they get to watch those guys, and who’s to say that’s where you should play, put them in a box. So, it’s pretty cool to see those guys play fundamentally, see them also modernizing the game in that regard." - Mitch Johnson on Wemby after his team’s win against the OKC Thunder in game 7 of the Western Conference Finals on Saturday.
