The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 62-20 record overall which had them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 29-12 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Knicks have looked really good in their games this season with their 53-29 record overall which had them right near the top of the East. They have looked great on their home court too with their 30-10 home record this season. This is game 3 of a 7-game series between the 2 seed Spurs from the West and the 3 seed Knicks from the East for the NBA Finals. The Knicks are entering this game with a 2-0 series lead after winning game 2 by a score of 105-104. The Knicks have been rolling in the playoffs lately and have been on a historic pace. They have a ton of momentum on their side with 13 wins in a row now and have a 2-0 series lead with a chance to end things at home in the next 2 games. As good as the Knicks have been on this run, they aren't going to continue rolling to an NBA Championship without losing another game and they are due for this long win streak to come to an end. They had a big comeback win in game 1 and then found a way to win game 2 by 1 point, but the Spurs are a really talented team and they are going to have an answer to those 2 losses at home. The Spurs are going to be desperate in this one with their backs against the wall and they have the talent to win at least 1 game in this series, and this is the game it has to be if they want to have any hope of coming back. Look for the Spurs to bring their best effort and finally take 1 back in this series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.
