San Antonio at New York

Premium Pick

The San Antonio Spurs spent a lot of time this season without Tony Parker, and more importantly without Kawhi Leonard. Despite the injuries, the Spurs remained an elite team and come to New York at 27-12 on the season. The Spurs are whole again and have played even better at 14-5 over their last 19 games. The defense is as solid as ever holding seven of their last eight opponents to 100 points or less. New York unloaded Melo and are trying to rebuild a playoff caliber team, but there are growing pains, and the Knicks are just 1-4 in their last five and have allowed 100+ in 14 of their last 19 games. The Spurs have the edge on both ends of the floor here. Make the play on San Antonio.
