As the New York Knicks welcome the San Antonio Spurs, all eyes should be on Miles McBride and his points prop set at just 4.5. This number feels surprisingly low given McBride's recent form. Over his last six games, he's hit the over five times, showcasing his ability to contribute consistently. At home, he averages 3.4 points, but his overall scoring against the Spurs has been notably better, netting an average of 8.6 points in their last five encounters. With the Knicks looking to capitalize on their home court advantage, McBride's role is likely to expand, especially against a Spurs defense that can be forgiving. Given that he's cleared this mark in 12 of his last 18 home games, taking the over feels like a solid play. With an expected stat value suggesting he could score upwards of 10 points, this is a prime opportunity to ride the momentum.
Jose Alvarado (New York Knicks) Over 3.5 Points (+164)

As the New York Knicks gear up to face the San Antonio Spurs, Jose Alvarado looks poised to shine, especially with a prop bet set at over 3.5 points. Alvarado's recent form shows he's been trending upward, averaging 4.8 points at home against these Spurs, and he's hit that mark in six of his last nine home games. With an overall hit rate of 75% in his last four contests, confidence is building around his scoring ability. The Spurs, known for their defensive lapses, may struggle to contain a player like Alvarado, who thrives in fast-paced situations. Plus, he's been averaging 3.8 points overall in his last five games, but with the home crowd behind him, we can expect him to exceed that number on Thursday night. This matchup feels right for Alvarado to capitalize, making the over on 3.5 points a compelling play.

Historically, he's found success against New York, putting up an average of 7 points in recent encounters, and he's shown a striking consistency by hitting the over in 13 of his last 18 games overall. What's particularly intriguing is how Johnson has stepped up on the road, hitting this number in all five of his last away games. With a robust expected stat value of nearly 11 points and a solid hit rate, it's hard to ignore the value here.

Kornet's ability to contribute both offensively and defensively can't be overlooked, especially since he averages about 4.6 points and 3.8 rebounds against the Spurs in away games. The Spurs' defense has shown vulnerability against tall players, which bodes well for Kornet.
