The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 5.5 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 2 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 are entering this game with a 1-0 series lead after winning game 1 by a score of 105-95. The Knicks have been rolling the entire playoffs and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 12 wins in a row now. They continued their dominance with another double digit win in game 1 on the road, but they aren't going to keep winning all the way to the Championship. This Knicks team is ripe for a loss and the Spurs are not going to take that loss lightly, looking to bounce back in this one. The Spurs had a double digit lead at one point too and were in complete control of the game, so look for them to have an answer here. The Knicks also completed the mission in these first 2 games by guaranteeing a split and flipping the home advantage in their favor, so they aren't going to bring that same effort here while the Spurs will be a lot more desperate to avoid going to New York down 2-0 in the series. Look for the Spurs to bounce back at home and make this a series going to New York for the next 2 games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.
