NBA Finals Betting Preview: Knicks vs Spurs

The No. 3 seed New York Knicks (53-29, 22-19 away) face the No. 2 San Antonio Spurs (62-20, 32-8 at home) in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. New York leads the series 3-1 and are just one win from the title.

Knicks Well Placed to Cover

The Knicks look like a strong play at +5.5. This series has been incredibly competitive throughout and getting more than two possessions with a team that holds a 3-1 lead is hard to ignore.

The Knicks have shown remarkable resilience throughout the Finals, winning three of the four games despite falling behind early each time. New York's historic comeback in Game 4 underlined their ability to respond under pressure, while San Antonio may have concerns over Victor Wembanyama's heavy workload after he faded badly in the second half on Wednesday.

With every game in the series being decided by a narrow margin, the Knicks +5.5 at -115 stands out as an appealing wager. New York have covered this number in 18 consecutive games and look well placed to do so again.

Historic Comeback for New York

The Knicks won the opening two games of the series on the road at Frost Bank Center, prevailing 105-95 in Game 1 and 105-104 in Game 2. San Antonio responded with a 115-111 victory at Madison Square Garden in Game 3, but New York restored control on Wednesday night with a dramatic 107-106 win in Game 4.

The Knicks produced the largest comeback in NBA Finals history, overturning a 27-point halftime deficit after trailing by as many as 29 points in the third quarter.

Jalen Brunson led the way for the Knicks in Game 4 with 36 points, while OG Anunoby added 33. Karl-Anthony Towns contributed a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds. For the Spurs, Victor Wembanyama posted 24 points and 13 rebounds, while Dylan Harper scored 21 points and De'Aaron Fox chipped in with 18.
