The Knicks arrive in Las Vegas in excellent form, riding a strong run of results and growing confidence on both ends of the floor. On the road to the final, they defeated the Toronto Raptors in the quarterfinal and the Orlando Magic in the semifinal. Jalen Brunson continues to show outstanding performance, scoring 35+ points in both of these games.

The Spurs outplayed the LA Lakers in the quarterfinal. They snatched a dramatic win over the Thunder in the semifinal by just two points, ending OKC's 16-game win streak. Victor Wembanyama's return has added a huge boost. Even with limited minutes, he scored 22 points and claimed 6 rebounds that night. He got back just in time to help the team in the final.

The Knicks are riding a hot streak, winning nine of their last ten games. However, we're backing the Spurs in this one. The semifinal victory against Oklahoma City was the first time their squad was fully healthy. Also, even though the game will be played in a neutral stadium, the majority of the crowd will most likely back the Spurs after their sensational win in the semifinals.
