Victor Wembanyama: 35+ Points + Rebounds
Returning from a challenging game at MSG, Wemby is primed to spearhead the San Antonio offense. While the New York defense has allowed an average of 32.4 points to opposing centers over the last 5 games, Wemby consistently outpaces standard defensive metrics. Looking at the last 10 matchups against the Knicks, no other center over the last two series managed to surpass 29 points, yet Wemby has successfully cleared his 27.9 average line in all four games. This makes the 35 points and rebounds prop highly achievable, particularly given his recent momentum over the last 5 games, where he is averaging nearly 10 rebounds and over 27 points per game.
Knicks: Over 105 Points
This high-probability trend remains active for Knicks points, as the team has reached 105 points in 100% of their nine head-to-head matchups against San Antonio. New York has cleared this line in 100% of the last 5 games, 100% of the last 10 games, and 95% of the last 20 games. Throughout the season, the Knicks have hit the 105-point mark 83% of the time, averaging 116 points overall and elevating that to 117 points per game in the playoffs. With the roster motivated to close out the series and secure the championship, the offense is expected to maintain its aggressive pace until the final buzzer to clear the over.
Devin Vassell: 2+ Threes
The Spurs look to close the gap against the Knicks, who sit just one win away from their first NBA championship in over 50 years. Devin Vassell is coming off a stellar shooting night, hitting 5-of-8 from beyond the arc in Game 4. Over the last 10 games, Vassell is averaging 3 three-pointers made per game. Taking the over on 2 three-pointers positions well, especially as New York's defense continues to surrender significant production from deep, a vulnerability San Antonio is primed to exploit.
Josh Hart: 12+ Rebounds + Assists
Following a strong performance on Saturday, Josh Hart remains a critical asset in the push to close out the series. When evaluating Josh Hart stats last 5 games, he is averaging 9.8 rebounds over the last 5 games alongside 5.4 assists per game. Driven by the high stakes of a potential closeout game, Hart is well-positioned to clear the line of 12+ rebounds and assists.
