Spurs vs. Knicks Prediction & Pick

The Knicks have played well on the road lately, winning five of their last six away games. They've averaged 122.2 points and 50.2 rebounds in that span, even impressively shooting 39.5% from three-point range.

If the Knicks continue that level of play tonight, they should be more than fine. After all, the Spurs allow the most points (120.5) and record the eighth-fewest rebounds (50.6) this season. Furthermore, they're allowing opponents to average 12.7 threes per game (10th-most) on 39.3% shooting (worst in NBA).

With San Antonio also owning the worst scoring margin at home (minus-8.6), I don't like the Spurs' chances of pulling off an upset tonight. The Knicks will finally break out of their slump as they leave AT&T Center with the W.

Final Score Prediction: Knicks: 119 | Spurs: 108

Spurs vs. Knicks Best Bet

The Spurs have been awful lately as far as the spread is concerned. Not only have they failed to cover in five of their last seven games in December, but they're also 5-14 against the spread (ATS) in their last 19 games.

Meanwhile, the Knicks are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games and have covered in each of their last seven road games. Considering how the Spurs also own the worst home scoring margin, the Knicks won't have an issue covering the spread tonight.

Bet: Knicks -5 (-110)
