The Knicks are coming off a 139-125 home win over Toronto, their fourth straight victory. Karl-Anthony Towns had a game-high 31 points and 10 rebounds, while also dishing out a team-high seven assists. The first-year Knick is now averaging 24.7 PPG and 13.9 RPG, the latter of which leads the entire NBA.

KAT’s strong start to the season has moved him up to seventh in the NBA MVP odds.

The Spurs fell 111-106 at the 76ers last time out, dropping their road record to an ugly 4-7 on the year. Victory Wembanyama (24.8 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 3.9 APG, 4.0 BPG) led the team in scoring for the sixth straight game while also grabbing a team-high nine rebounds.

The Spurs/Knicks player props list both Wembenyama and Jalen Brunson (24.6 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 7.6 APG) with a total of 24.5 O/U, which is the highest on the board. KAT is just behind them at 23.5 and is also the only other player over the 20-point plateau.

Towns has the highest rebound total on the board, as expected, at a massive 13.5 O/U, while Brunson and Chris Paul (9.7 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 8.4 APG) both have a game-high assist prop of 7.5.

Spurs vs Knicks Predictions

The Spurs have indisputably been terrible on the road this season, going just 4-7 away from home. But their last quintet of road games has shown some modest improvement; San Antonio is 3-2 straight-up in that span with wins over Utah (128-115), Sacramento (127-125), and Portland (118-116) plus competitive losses to the Philly (111-105) and Phoenix (104-93), which was a four-point game heading into the fourth quarter.

The Knicks are surging largely thanks to the career-best play of Karl-Anthony Towns, and it just so happens that the Spurs have the perfect antidote in the form of Wembenyama, the runaway favorite in the NBA Defensive Player of the Year odds.

• Spurs +9.5 (-115)
• Towns under 23.5 points (-105)
