The 2025 NBA Cup Final is tomorrow night in Las Vegas! Following their wins on Saturday, it’s time to make our best Knicks vs. Spurs predictions for Tuesday night.

Knicks vs. Spurs Predictions for NBA Cup Final on Prime, 12/16

The Oklahoma City Thunder were looking for redemption after losing the NBA Cup Final last year, but despite being the double-digit favorites and a remarkable 24-1 at the time, the Spurs shut them down. Of course, the return of Victor Wembanyama from his calf strain helped fuel that two-point semifinal win.

While we won’t act as though we called for that upset of the seemingly unbeatable Thunder, we did call for the Knicks taking down the Orlando Magic. So, it’s time to at least expand on that with our Knicks vs. Spurs predictions for the 2025 NBA Cup Final. Last year, New York lost in the first round, while San Antonio didn’t even make the knockout rounds.

With this being an East vs. West matchup, it’s not one that we see as often. In fact, we have yet to make Knicks vs. Spurs predictions this season. Interestingly enough, these teams met on Christmas Day last year, which was a tight three-point win for New York. That was a San Antonio loss despite 42 points from Wemby!

It was Mikal Bridges who countered that with 41 of his own, and Jalen Brunson just dropped 40 on Saturday night. While we’re not going to call for anyone to score 40+ here, we’ve still got a best bet from our Knicks vs. Spurs predictions for the NBA Cup Final.
 

 

 

Knicks vs. Spurs Best Bet: Over 114.5 Second Half Points (-101 at Novig)

Despite being the ones to take down the defending champs, the Knicks vs. Spurs odds favor New York, even if only slightly. Truthfully, we also expect the Knicks to win the 2025 NBA Cup trophy, but it’s not with so much confidence that we’d make it our best bet. Instead, we’re going to be taking a very unique, isolated approach.

It’s an approach that certainly takes some digging, but it’s worthy of our Knicks vs. Spurs for Tuesday night. Both of these teams are remarkable to begin games, both in the first quarter alone and the entire first half. New York and San Antonio rank amongst the very best in terms of scoring early.

However, they also rank amongst the very best in terms of defending the opposition early in games. With not much give in that regard, we’re focusing our Knicks vs. Spurs predictions on the action after halftime. Both squads continue their ability to score after the break, both ranking inside the top 10.

What drops off is their defense after halftime. San Antonio plummets all the way to 22nd in that regard, with New York falling outside the top 10 as well. That difference is likely what could lead to their victory, but instead, we’re just going to cheer for points. Therefore, the best bet from our Knicks vs. Spurs predictions is over 114.5 second half points (-101 at Novig).
