Who We Like: This game features a Knicks team on a back-to-back against a healthy San Antonio squad that has won five out of six. Both teams play at a slow tempo and at least the Spurs are strong defensively. It's hard to see a lot of points being piled up here and it feels the total is set a bit too high. Expect one or two horrendous quarters out of the Knicks to keep this one under.
