The San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks meet again in Game 2 of the 2025-26 NBA Finals series tonight at Frost Bank Center. The New York Knicks lead this series 1–0 and have been dominant so far this postseason with a remarkable 12–3 record against the spread. This is why our prediction favors the away team.
Unlike most of their prior meetings, the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks found themselves in a largely defensive battle in Game 1 on Wednesday night. Victor Wembanyama inevitably starred for the Spurs with his eighth consecutive 20+ points, but that made little difference with the hosts held to just 32-of-89 shooting from the field, including 11-of-43 from the three-point range.
Moreover, New York effectively shut down San Antonio's offense with a remarkable 11–0 final-minute run. That late swing ensured the Knickerbockers maintained their winning momentum this postseason while holding the Spurs to their first playoff game below the 100-point mark. The Mike Brown-led team will be out for another outstanding performance to build on their 1–0 lead. Stay tuned as we dive into more details.

San Antonio Spurs & New York Knicks Squad Analysis
Both teams return at full strength for this clash with no injury concerns. The San Antonio Spurs' game-changer Victor Wembanyama had a pretty decent outing in Wednesday's opener, tallying 26 points with 12 rebounds, but was found wanting when coming up against New York's Karl-Anthony Towns.
Karl-Anthony Towns has the second-highest rebounds per game this postseason at 10.7 RPG, trailing Victor Wembanyama at the top by just 0.1 rebounds per game
Towns didn't only had an impressive Game 1 outing with his 18 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists contribution for the Knicks, but stole the spotlight after restricting Wembanyama to just 2-for-12 when up against the 7-foot-3 center as the primary defender. He returns tonight for another interesting battle with the Spurs' star.
Jalen Brunson was also instrumental to the Knicks' triumph, exploding for a game-high 30 points on 12-of-31 shooting, and will be out for another stellar performance in tonight's contest. Josh Hart, who ensured the Knicks dominated the boards and limited second-chance opportunities for San Antonio with his game-high 15 rebounds, is also expected to retain his place in the starting lineup.
