Expert picks and predictions for Wednesday’s Spurs at Knicks game

NBC Sports Betting Best Bets

Jay Croucher (@croucherJD) likes this game to be a defensive battle: Game Total UNDER 225.5.
“NYK’s defense has been elite for weeks now and Sochan’s return means SAS should have a Top 10 D going forward.”

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper) is among the visitors: San Antonio Spurs -9.5
“I currently rate NYK at +5.5 and SAS at -1, making this game around 8/8.5 fair considering the home ground. Very fun matchup to kick off Christmas Day!”

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) expects the Knicks’ captain to play this Christmas: Jalen Brunson o23.5 points (-114).
“Brunson is having an off-season. But in a game at Madison Square Garden on Christmas, it’s time to go. Especially in a game where KAT puts up a tough game. I’ll probably play him over 30 points, too.”

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) doesn’t expect Jeremy Sochan to light up the stat sheet: Jeremy Sochan under 16.5 points + assists (-120)
“Sochan had a great first quarter against the 76ers, but had a quiet rest of the game in those two departments, including zero PRA in the fourth quarter. The Knicks will be a much tougher matchup for Sochan.”
