The Spurs' defense has had its vulnerabilities, giving Alvarado an ideal opportunity to exploit.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Knicks prepare to face the Spurs, keep an eye on Luke Kornet to surpass that low bar of 4.5 combined points and rebounds. With a recent hit rate of 6 out of his last 9 games, Kornet has been a reliable contributor, especially on the road, where he's hit this mark in 75% of his last 20 outings. The Spurs' defense has struggled against big men, allowing Kornet to average about 4.6 points in their last encounters, alongside a solid 3.8 rebounds. Given his expected stat value of 8.74, it feels like a no-brainer that Kornet can clear this threshold, particularly when the Knicks will need his size and versatility against San Antonio's front line. With the stakes high and Kornet's recent form backing him, betting on him to go over 4.5 seems like a savvy move.
