New York Knicks at San Antonio Spurs Betting Tips – Spurs To Bounce Back In NBA Finals
The New York Knicks extended their playoff win streak with a 105-95 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Despite this hot form from the Knicks, historical and recent performance trends favor the Spurs to bounce back in Game 2. San Antonio has consistently covered after losses and seldom drops back-to-back games since mid-January. The recommendation is to back the Spurs on the spread (-6.5) and consider the under (215.0 total points). Expect San Antonio to display their trademark resilience in a crucial home game.

Verdict
New York’s win streak continued in the series opener, but we expect it to end in Game 2.
San Antonio are no stranger to postseason adversity, following the seven-series showdown with OKC, but they showed their nerve then, and they can show their nerve now.
