Analysis

The Spurs are coming into this game with a 41-16 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have been on fire in their recent games as they have won their last 11 straight games and they have been dominant in a lot of these wins. They are coming off of a 126-110 win on the road against the Nets in their last game and their defense has been very good, but the Nets are not a good team and the Spurs have struggled more on offense in their last 3 games. They have also been great on the road this season at 21-10 and have even won their last 6 straight road games, but this is certainly a tougher matchup for them. They are going up against a Knicks team that is 38-22 this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 games and they are coming off of a 127-98 win on the road against the Bucks in their last game. That was a bounce back win for them on the road after an awful loss to the Cavaliers the game prior, and now they will have some confidence coming into this game. Their defense has been great in their recent games as they have not allowed 110 points in each of their last 4 games and have held opponents under 100 points in 2 of their last 3 games as well. Their offense was also much better in that last game against the Bucks and they have been much better at home this season. They are 22-8 at home this season and have won 6 of their last 8 games there, their last game there being a 108-106 win over the Rockets after erasing a late 10 point deficit. The Knicks have also played very well against the Spurs this season as they are 1-1, but the loss came by 2 points on the road in a game where they were leading most of the time, and the win came in a neutral location when the Knicks beat the Spurs in the NBA Cup Final. The Knicks are going to get up for this game at home to be the team to snap that 11 game win streak of the Spurs. The Knicks will cover the spread in this game.
