NBA Finals Prediction: Spurs – Knicks (06-06-2026)

The NBA Finals continue in San Antonio after New York took Game 1 with a 105-95 victory to move 1-0 ahead in the series.

Despite the relatively modest final score, both teams struggled to convert shots at their usual level for long stretches of the game.

With several key players shooting below their normal standards, there is a reasonable case for expecting improved offensive production in Game 2.

New York Knicks already cleared this line in the opening game of the series, scoring 105 points despite not producing their most efficient offensive performance.

The regular NBA season meetings between these teams also support the over.

The Knicks scored 114, 132 and 124 points across the three meetings, consistently finding ways to create scoring opportunities against San Antonio.

Recent playoff form tells a similar story.

Before Game 1 of the Finals, New York scored 130 and 121 points in consecutive road games against Cleveland, while also reaching 115 points earlier in that series.

Throughout the postseason, New York have regularly scored well above this line, regardless of whether they were playing at home or on the road.

Another factor worth considering is the likely adjustment from both coaching staffs after the opening game.

NBA finals series often become more efficient offensively as teams identify favourable matchups and make tactical changes from one game to the next.

With several key scorers underperforming in Game 1, improved shooting percentages would not be surprising here.

New York have already shown they can score against San Antonio, both during the regular season and in the opening Finals matchup.

At a line of 103.5 points, the Knicks once again look capable of reaching that mark regardless of whether they ultimately win or lose the game.
