New York enters the Finals as the analyst’s pick despite San Antonio’s 62-20 regular-season record and home-court advantage in a rematch of the 1999 championship series.
12-2 is the Knicks’ playoff mark, with their only two losses coming by a combined two points, while the Spurs were pushed deep by three straight series and lost three home playoff games.
Jalen Brunson’s matchup with Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama’s help defense on Karl-Anthony Towns are framed as the series’ central tactical battle.
OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges are cited as swing factors for New York, while San Antonio’s depth includes Sixth Man of the Year Keldon Johnson and rookie Dylan Harper.
The pick leans on New York’s late-game shotmaking and versatility, with the analyst also backing the Knicks at +1.5 games.
