Top game alert in Texas!
See you again so soon! The Spurs and Knicks face each other at the start of the new year in a rematch of last December’s NBA Cup final.
Back then, the East Coast basketball team prevailed over the Texans on neutral ground in Las Vegas. Read our San Antonio Spurs vs. New York Knicks prediction to find out what the chances are of the hosts getting their revenge!
The aforementioned final defeat was also due to the fact that Victor Wembanyama did not play at full strength for the home team in that game. The reason was personal: on the morning of the final, he learned that his grandmother had passed away in his native France. This news clearly affected the exceptional player deeply, as evidenced by his tearful press conference after the game.
Now we expect him to be back on the court playing much stronger, and the home team from the “Lone Star State” can count on their home advantage. Eleven of the 15 home games played this season ended in victory for Coach Mitch Johnson’s team. For the San Antonio Spurs’ next home game against the New York Knicks, the forecast is now for another win for the hosts.
Furthermore, the odds for more than 24.5 points by the aforementioned particularly powerful forward Wembanyama on the Texan side appear promising. A limit that “Wemby” has already exceeded in the last two home games against Cleveland and Utah with 26 and 32 points respectively.
On top of that, we don’t see any shortage of points on the horizon, as both teams are impressive on offense. The visitors are fourth in the NBA rankings for teams with the most points per game, and the hosts are not far behind in seventh place.
San Antonio Spurs – New York Knicks Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
As described, the visitors beat the Spurs in the NBA Cup 2025 final in the middle of last month. In league play, however, the recent record is evenly balanced. Looking back at the last six NBA matchups, both teams have recorded three wins each.
However, the hosts are currently on a three-game winning streak in front of their own fans, and this is not a new pattern. Only one of the last eleven home games against New York ended in defeat for the hosts!
The odds also favor the home team for the next match between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks, albeit only slightly.
San Antonio Spurs – New York Knicks Tip
The Knicks celebrated their first title in 52 years thanks to their victory over San Antonio in the aforementioned NBA Cup final. The home team therefore has a score to settle with the visitors and will be particularly motivated to beat them.
In addition, they are strong at home and, despite their defeat to the Knicks in the NBA Cup, are performing consistently well. One example of this is their three victories against the champions from Oklahoma within two weeks in December!
In light of this, the betting odds for a home win in the game between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks look promising. This is also supported by the fact that the visitors don’t usually do well in Texas: ten of their last eleven trips to San Antonio ended in defeat for them.
