Spread +4.5 • New York Knicks

I like this one more than I probably should — New York Knicks +4.5 --105 is the ticket I'm leaning toward. The +4.5 means the Knicks can lose by up to four or win outright, so I’m picturing a squeaker where every possession matters and we hang around late (fingers crossed). Not super flashy, just a cautious two-unit lean because close games make my heart race and my spreadsheet say 'maybe.'
