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

New York Knicks Team Total Over 104.5 (-113) at Caesars Sportsbook

Even with negative regression looming large, the New York Knicks were able to create cracks in San Antonio’s armor, scoring 105 points in their win over the Spurs in game one of the NBA Finals.

A performance that mirrored what the Knicks were able to do throughout the playoffs, climbing up to second overall in Adjusted Offensive Rating.

In a highly anticipated game two, expect the Knicks to continue to face minimal resistance in their efforts of creating high quality shots at multiple areas of the floor, using their versatility to pull Victor Wembanyama away from the rim while their help side guards slash through the middle.

Especially with Jalen Brunson commanding double teams, freeing up more space for his spot up shooters around the perimeter.

Josh Hart Under 1.5 Three Pointers Made (-105) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Speaking of the perimeter, Josh Hart has been abysmal throughout the playoffs, averaging just 1.3 Threes Made per game while shooting 29.0% from deep.

With Karl-Anthony Towns tasked with pulling Wembanyama out of the paint, expect Hart to continue to generate a low volume of threes while crashing the middle at a heavier rate, increasing the likelihood he stays under the total on his Three Pointers Made prop.

Josh Hart Over 8.5 Rebounds (-128) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Correlating this prop with the previously mentioned one, Hart’s lack of usage around the perimeter has resulted in an uptick in his total number of Rebound Opportunities, securing 15 boards in game one.

With Mitchell Robinson struggling to stay on the court while Towns and Wembanyama roam away from the rim, expect Hart to continue to take advantage of the lack of bodies in the interior and haul in another high volume of Rebounds.

De’Aaron Fox Under 14.5 Points (-115) at BetMGM Sportsbook

When healthy, De’Aaron Fox has been a steady source of scoring for the Spurs, averaging 15.9 Points per game while shooting 42.4% from the floor.

Fox’s individual production has played a key role in the Spurs success on offense this season, running point for a unit who resides near the top of the board in Offensive Efficiency.

Unfortunately for Fox, Towns’ ability to hold his ground in single coverage against Wembanyama allows the Knicks guards to spread out their coverage, making it tough for him to create enough separation to generate a high quality shot attempt.

For some more exposure, escalator bet Fox’s Points prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate unders at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.
