Fireworks await at the Frost Bank Center on Thursday as the San Antonio Spurs host the New York Knicks in their 33rd NBA game of the season. The Spurs will not only look to avenge their 2025 NBA Cup final loss to the Knicks, but also return to winning ways after back-to-back defeats. Can they defeat their New York-based rivals on Thursday? Let's take you through our prediction for the game. 

The San Antonio Spurs improved to a remarkable 23–9 record after their clean sweep of their two-game series against Western Conference leaders Oklahoma City on Thunder. However, the tides have turned afterwards for the five-time champions with a sudden drop-off that has got tongues wagging. 

They head into this game on two consecutive defeats – the most recent of which was a shocking 113–101 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. Mitch Johnson's charges will also look to avoid a third consecutive defeat at home on Thursday. 

The New York Knicks edged the New Orleans Pelicans 130–125 on Friday to improve to a 23–9 record. That victory marked their third in a row and fourth in their last five games. They have posted an impressive 5–1 record in their last six away games.
