New York comes into this one riding serious momentum after taking care of Orlando in the semi-finals. Jalen Brunson was the engine again, pouring in 40 points with eight assists and setting the tone from the jump, while Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby gave them strong secondary scoring and defensive presence. When Brunson gets into that aggressive scoring mode, the Knicks tend to follow, and their recent run reflects that confidence, especially in high-leverage games.

San Antonio earned its spot the hard way, rallying from a 16-point hole to knock off Oklahoma City in a result that turned once Victor Wembanyama entered the game. He only needed limited minutes to make a huge impact, scoring efficiently and completely shifting the defensive landscape. The Spurs have been at their best when Wembanyama is involved offensively, and their ability to stay composed during comebacks has become a defining trait during this Cup run.

PICK – NEW YORK -2.5
