Command Analysis
San Antonio Spurs
USACurrent form
Due to roster problems and unstable play, the Spurs were among the outsiders in the Western Conference. The team is forced to act without guidance from Gregg Popovich, who is recovering from a stroke, and without leader Victor Vembanyama, who is out for the rest of the season.
San Antonio lost its last game to the Lakers (109:125). It was hard to expect a different result when the problems were overwhelming. It is unlikely that Spurs will be able to change the situation for the better, at least until the end of the main tournament. There's a home game against the Knicks ahead, so it's worth building up your strength.
Disqualifications and injuries
Charles Bassey, De'Aaron Fox, Ricky Minix and Victor Vembanyama will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Spurs have 17 home wins this season.
Approximate composition: Wassell - Barnes, Biyombo Castle, Paul.
New York Knicks
USACurrent form
New Yorkers have secured third place in the Eastern Conference and are trying to keep the bar high. Tom Thibodeau has built a fully capable team that sets the tone in the league.
New York had a great last match against Miami, not allowing the opponent to score even a hundred points (116:95). We can say that the defense played well, while Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns scored 51 points between them. The Knicks are ready to build on their success, especially ahead of the match against a team from the top three outsiders of the West - San Antonio, though on the road.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jalen Brunson and Ariel Hukporti will not play on the floor due to health problems.

1.90Tip and bets
It's hard to say that San Antonio isn't trying. The team acts on character, but the absence of Victor Vembanyama, around whom the whole game was built, affects the overall picture.
New York is stable, and this is perhaps the main reason why the team closes the top three teams in the East. Tom Thibodeau's players are excellent in defense and attack, as they have found a balance. The Knicks are ready to challenge the Spurs, even in an away game, and the visitors are likely to prevail.
Our prediction is that New York will win with a handicap of (-7.5) points in 1.76
Bet on the total
For San Antonio, every victory is worth its weight in gold, so the club is not ready to give up. At home, Spurs often operate in an attacking style, and the next match is unlikely to be an exception. New York is going to win, so you will need to turn on the speed and go ahead. In our opinion, the rivals have everything to exceed the total.
Betting Tip - total more than 226.5 points in 1.66
Betting on statistics
The factor of the home arena should help the hosts to gather their strength. San Antonio will not be an optimal team, but it is ready to please the fans with a bright game, which usually happens at home. We assume that the Spurs attack will be able to surprise the opponent, respectively, to play actively under the ring of the Knicks.
Prediction – San Antonio's individual total is more than 109.5 points per 1.81
