The Spurs are rolling into MSG on an 11-game winning streak with the best record in basketball — and the oddsmakers are only laying 2.5 on the Knicks at home?! Everybody wants to fade the Spurs because Wembanyama is 'too young' for a big stage, but this team has been DOMINANT all season and the Knicks are missing McBride while San Antonio loses only the bench-warming Plumlee. Give me the hottest team in the NBA getting free points all day long.

The G-CRED sheep are piling on the Knicks because they're up 2-0, but news flash — the best regular-season team in the West at 62-20 doesn't just roll over at home in Game 3, and desperate Spurs teams with Wembanyama are a different beast on their own floor. The public is drunk on Knicks momentum and completely ignoring that San Antonio outscores opponents by 8.3 points per game all season — this is exactly the trap game where the crowd gets torched. Fade the bandwagon, take the 2.5 points with the Spurs, and thank me later.

The Knicks are in the NBA Finals riding a 12-game playoff win streak and just took Game 1 on the road, 105-95, behind Brunson's 30-point masterpiece. New York comes home with zero players on the injury report, while the Spurs are without David Jones Garcia for the season. Healthy, confident, and playing in front of their home crowd — the Knicks are the obvious chalk here.
