New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs (8:30pm, EST)

Victor Wembanyama Under 27.5 Points (-120) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Since the start of the playoffs, Victor Wembanyama has been dominant in his efforts of scoring, averaging 23.2 Points per game while shooting 37.0% from three and 51.0% from the field.

With the San Antonio Spurs offense revolving around Wembaynama, they have been one of the more efficient units in the league, ranking well above league average in Adjusted Offensive Rating.

Heading into game one of the NBA Finals, expect Wembanyama to fall hard back down to reality, battling it out against the New York Knicks who excel in coverage per their top-5 mark in Defensive Efficiency.

Especially with Mitchell Robinson potentially seeing a bump in his minutes while locked on to his hip, giving Karl-Anthony Towns the ability to roam and provide help side coverage when needed.

Mitchell Robinson Over 4.5 Rebounds (-141) at FanDuel Sportsbook

While dealing with various injuries, Robinson has struggled to haul in boards at a high rate, averaging just 5.5 Rebounds per game throughout the playoffs.

With the Knicks mirroring the Thunder’s game plan by using Robinson to shadow Wembanyama, the Knicks center will see a drastic uptick in his total number of Rebound Opportunities while anchored near the rim.

New York Knicks Team Total Over 107.5 (-109) at Caesars Sportsbook

Like the Spurs, the Knicks have also been able to thrive on offense this season, residing near the top of the board in Offensive Efficiency and in Three Point Completion Percentage.

Their high level of play on offense helps drastically reduce the amount of negative variance in their contests, making it easier for them to pull away on the scoreboard or dig out of a sizable hole.

While a matchup against Wembanyama and the Spurs defense normally indicates negative regression is looming large, the Knicks versatility will pull the lengthy center away from the rim, creating wider lanes in the middle for their off-ball scorers to exploit.

For some more exposure, escalator bet the Knicks team total by placing smaller wagers on their alternate overs at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.

Jalen Brunson Over 2.5 Three Pointers Made (+122) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Even when dealing with constant double teams and help side coverage, Jalen Brunson has had no issue with creating enough space to generate a high quality shot attempt from three, averaging 2.2 Threes Made per game while shooting 35.2% from the perimeter.

With Towns pulling Wembanyama away in pick and pop sets, Brunson will be able to generate high quality shot attempts from three for the full duration of the contest, increasing his chances of clearing the over on his Three Pointers Made prop.
