Are the Knicks on their way to another sweep?
The “Big Apple” is buzzing! For the first time in 27 years, a home game is on the schedule in the NBA Finals, and we’re bringing you a New York Knicks vs. San Antonio Spurs pick! The home team heads into the game at the “Garden” with a 2-0 lead in the series.
Coach Mike Brown’s men won both road games in Texas, which is why the Spurs already have their backs against the wall. In the first two games of the 2026 NBA Finals, it became clear that the Finals are probably a bit too early for the very young team from San Antonio.
The Spurs’ lack of playoff experience was clearly evident, and this also applies to rising superstar Victor Wembanyama. Although the Frenchman scored 29 points in the last game, a turnover caused by a poor pass ultimately led to the recent 104-105 loss to New York.
The Knicks, meanwhile, continue to seem unbeatable: They have won every one of their last 13 playoff games—the second-longest such streak in NBA postseason history, trailing only the Golden State Warriors’ 15 consecutive wins from 2017.
We are therefore predicting another victory for the East Coast franchise in Game 3 between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Additionally, we expect the visitors to score fewer than 106.5 points.
So far, the Knicks have had their Texas opponents well under control from a defensive standpoint. The Spurs failed to exceed the selected point total in the two previous games, and likewise in their last matchup during the regular season.
New York Knicks – San Antonio Spurs Head-to-Head Record
The Knicks won the first two games of the current series. Thanks to those two victories, the New Yorkers now have four wins in their last five meetings—including a victory in the NBA Cup final last December.
For the next showdown between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, the odds once again place the hosts as moderate favorites.
New York Knicks – San Antonio Spurs Pick
In New York, the euphoria knows no bounds! After 53 years, the first NBA title is within reach, and even U.S. President Donald Trump has announced he will be in the stands for the upcoming Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals.
After two road wins and now 13 straight victories in the playoffs, confidence is sky-high among Coach Mike Brown’s squad. Furthermore, the two previous games against the Texans made it clear that the visitors lack experience due to their very young roster.
For several Spurs players, this is nothing less than their first playoff appearance of their careers. In light of this and the home-court advantage, the betting odds for another home win in Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs look promising.
