Analys

The model sees this as a three point spread but the market has it at four and a half. That gap creates the edge. San Antonio scores 118.5 per game and allows 110.4 while New York scores 117.5 and allows 109.1. Both teams rank in the top six on offense and defense so the matchup is even on paper. Head to head this season tells a different story. San Antonio is just one and two against New York with an average margin of nine and a half points in New York's favor. The Spurs cover 59 percent at home while the Knicks cover just 47 percent on the road. That road ATS number stands out. Model spread sits at negative 3.9 when you split the books. Seventy percent of the market has it at negative 4.5 while the model lands closer to negative 2.4. The Knicks are getting an extra point and a half beyond what the numbers suggest. That is where the value sits.

The public sees San Antonio as the stronger home team and assumes they cover at minus four and a half. But the head to head data shows New York has handled them this season. The model disagrees with the spread by a full point and a half.
