Spurs Favored Over Knicks in NBA Finals

The 2025-26 NBA Finals begin Wednesday night between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, with the Spurs entering as -200 favorites.

The series marks a rematch of the 1999 NBA Finals. The Knicks are riding a 10-game winning streak but will face their toughest competition yet without home-court advantage. The Spurs, led by 22-year-old sensation Victor Wembanyama, are looking to win it all in their superstar's first playoff appearance.

This matchup is historic as it's the first time in NBA history a team (Knicks) has faced three consecutive opponents coming off seven-game series. Despite the Knicks' recent dominance, experts predict Spurs to win in six games (+550), citing Wembanyama as the best player in the series and home-court advantage as decisive factors. tbzikra.com
