There are two ways to look at this game, and this series, following New York’s historic 29-point comeback in Thursday’s Game 4.
On one hand, the Spurs shot the lights out in the first half and looked almost untouchable, forcing the Knicks into seven turnovers. On the other, the Spurs capitulated in the second half and fell victim to the Garden’s noise, allowing Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby to take over on both ends, while San Antonio shot just over 20 per-cent from the field.
You could argue blowing a game like that means series over for such a young and inexperienced side, particularly with the Knicks stealing both games in San Antonio to begin the series.
At the same time, it’s fair to wonder whether the Knicks will have the legs to back up such an emotional performance.
The bookies have installed the Spurs as –5.5 favourites, which stands out after what we witnessed only two days ago. That said, San Antonio has been an elite first quarter team, winning 14 of their last 15 first quarters. We saw Wemby bounce back from a poor performance in Game 2 to steal the show in Game 3 earlier in the week, and after a meltdown of epic proportions in Game 4, I think the Spurs stay alive.

Popular NBA Betting Markets
Briefly outline key bet types and link to relevant guides:
- Head-to-head: Bet on the winner of the game after 48 minutes (including overtime).
- Line/Handicap betting: The favourite and underdog are given numbers, which provides for an even playing field. For example, the Lakers are -6.5 favorites against the Bulls. The Lakers must win by 7 or more points. If the Bulls win outright or finish within 6.5 points of the Lakers, punters with Bulls +6.5 on their ticket win.
- Total points (over/under): Bet on how many points will be scored in the game. Lines are often set around 230 points for an NBA game.
- Player performance: Bet on how many points, rebounds, or assists a player will have in the game. Same game multis are available, so you can add them together for a big return.
- Futures: Punters can bet on which team will win the NBA Championship, and other NBA futures betting markets, including NBA MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY).
