Point Spread Pick
SA Spurs-1.5(-105)

The San Antonio Spurs have been the hottest team in the NBA, winning 11 straight games. It is no surprise that during the last 10 games they lead the league in both offensive and defensive ratings. The challenge to slow them down will fall to the New York Knicks at home. While they are one of the powerhouses of the Eastern Conference this season, they have fallen against elite teams in recent games. Losses against the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers demonstrate just that. It will be a monumental task for them to overcome that streak up against a team playing the type of basketball the Spurs have been.

A problem the Knicks have been facing is efficiency, with the team ranking 14th in true shooting percentage over the last 10 games. The Spurs are not a team that will give them many additional or easy chances. During that stretch of games the visitors are in the top 10 of fewest allowed points in the paint, on fast breaks, off turnovers and second chance points. With the team 2nd in true shooting percentage themselves, that difference in efficiency should prove telling. Victor Wembanyama has been a menace blocking shots of late, with 4 or more in 4 of his last 5 games. Over the last 10 games the Knicks are just middle of the pack in 3-point percentage and could struggle getting him to vacate the paint. Back the Spurs to cover as a result.

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
