Spurs vs. Knicks Game 4 betting analysis
Karl-Anthony Towns was looking like the early MVP of the series with two solid games before a quiet 11-point and eight-rebound Game 3. He has to get more involved in Game 4 and be more assertive in getting off shots.
Get KAT involved
Towns has gone scoreless in the fourth quarter of all three games of this series. Knicks head coach Mike Brown said he has to get more involved, and this is especially the case if Jalen Brunson’s shots aren’t falling.
Brunson has to find his shot
Jalen Brunson has played well in the playoffs, and while he has totaled 52 points in the last two games, he took 50 shots and made 18. His worst shooting came in Game 2, but the others stepped up, mainly KAT and Mikal Bridges, who combined for 40 points. They only combined for 13 in Game 3, so Brunson has to find his range.
Keep the balance
The Spurs had all five starters and Dylan Harper score in double-digits in Game 3, and they need to keep that balance. Wemby cannot do it all, and the supporting cast needs to play well again.
Clean up the play
The Knicks had costly turnovers and took some bad fouls, so they need to clean that up for Game 4. Their foul issues put the Spurs in the penalty for the last 9:14 of the game, and in a five-point loss, New York was outshot from the free-throw line 22-8 in the second half.
PlayersBest prediction: Knicks -2.5
OK, so I have picked the Knicks in all three games of this series and will not sway from that. New York played sloppily in Game 3, KAT was rather quiet, and Brunson did not have a great shooting night.
The Knicks will turn it around in Game 4 at home by playing with more urgency, getting KAT the rock more often, and cleaning up the sloppy play. The free-throw disparity will not happen again, and in another close game, New York will come out on top, covering and taking a 3-1 series lead.
Spurs vs. Knicks player prop picks
Here are some player prop bets we like at DraftKings Sportsbook:
- OG Anunoby 17+ points (-108) – He went for 28 points in the last game and has scored at least 17 points in the last five games.
- KAT 12+ rebounds (+101) – Towns had averaged 13 boards in three straight games before recording eight in the last one, but he will be more aggressive in Game 4.
