Free New York Knicks vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
The Spurs are going to be one of the league’s biggest sellers as we approach the 2023 trade deadline, and that’s because they have no interest in winning.
Their trade positioning won’t really apply for a few more weeks, but their positioning to lose is entirely relevant on a game-to-game basis.
Spurs are five-point underdogs, and quite frankly, that seems generous in their favor.
Give this one to the road Knicks, and give it to them both straight up and against the spread.
New York big on Thursday.
