Spread -6.5 • New York Knicks

Here we go—Knicks at -6.5, 3 units on the board and you can feel the energy. New York should set the pace early, defend aggressively, and turn that into points on the other end, so this looks like a spot where the margin can grow quickly in the third quarter. The -6.5 spread reflects an expectation that the Knicks will dictate the game flow and create separation in the middle frames, not just win a tight finish.
