San Antonio Spurs vs. New York Knicks Betting Preview
For the Spurs, this will be the first game for first round pick Victor Wembanyama in America’s Most Famous Arena – Madison Square Garden. The rookie has found success to be up and down so far this season. In more than 28 minutes per game, he is scoring 29.4 points per game, and grabbing 8.4 rebounds per game.
Wembanyama has scored double digits in every game he has played this season, and has three double-doubles so far this season. His season high was 38 points and 10 rebounds in the win over the Suns.
San Antonio has been missing Devin Vassell in his last two games. The guard is out with an injured groin. He is unlikely to play in this game as well. Vassell is scoring 19.4 points per game, and dishing out 2.2 assists per game, but a huge help on both sides of the ball for San Antonio.
The Spurs will finish this mini road trip, and then head back home and take on the Timberwolves and the Heat. One thing is clear about San Antonio Spurs games this year, they are much more interesting to watch with the young talent.
Knicks Struggle to Find Offensive Rhythm
New York is struggling to score in the early going of the season. The Knicks are scoring 104.4 points per game, which is 29th out of 30 in NBA Team Stats. Fortunately, the defense has for the most part kept them in games, allowing less than 100 points in three out of their last four games.
Jalen Brunson leads the charge for the Knicks. The point guard is scoring 22.1 points per game. His season high came recently against the Bucks on the road. He scored 45 points in that game, but the Knicks lost.
New York has seen RJ Barrett in and out of the lineup. After missing a couple games, he came back on Sunday against the Clippers and scored 26 points in 30 minutes. He is second in scoring with 22 points per game, while Julius Randle and Immanuel Quickly are next, combining for more than 30 per game.
This is the second of a three game home stand on the NY Knicks schedule. They will take on Charlotte at home on Sunday, before going on the road for five games. The Knicks are at the Celtics, Hawks, Wizards, Hornets and Timberwolves before returning home the day after Thanksgiving to take on the Heat.
San Antonio Spurs vs. New York Knicks Betting Picks
It will be fun to see Wemby at the Garden for the first time. He will play well. He will score. Wembanyama will grab rebounds and look flashy at times. The problem is the Spurs cannot guard the ball rack.
Wemby gets this, but the Knicks get the win and cover the spread. Bet the New York Knicks -9.5 over the San Antonio Spurs in a 110-95 type win. Hope you enjoyed our look at the Spurs vs Knicks odds, and our pick for the game! Good luck with your NBA Picks today!
