In addition to that, the Knickerbockers possess an outstanding 42-26 ATS mark following a victory this year. As underdogs, the Knicks are a fierce 14-8 ATS overall and a profitable 10-8 ATS specifically as road underdogs in 2025-26.

New York Knicks at San Antonio Spurs NBA Finals Game 5 Total Prediction
Game 5 of the NBA Finals is primed to stay under the 216.5-point total on Saturday night, due to some elite defensive efficiency and compelling trend data.

The Knicks consistently dictate a slower tempo on the road, as the under is 28-22 in their games away from MSG this season.
