The Spurs will likely be without Devin Vassell here, and while he is not a household name, he is very important to San Antonio's offense. The Spurs do not have many scoring threats behind Wembanyama, and Vassell is tied for the highest scoring average on the team. NYK HC Thibs has always been a defensive coach, and will have strategies to slow down Wemby, while allowing the other players to make plays. The other players on the Spurs are not talented enough to keep up with Brunson, Barrett and Randle when they get rolling. The Knicks' defensive efficiency is ranked 4th in the league, going up against a San Antonio offense that is ranked 25th in efficiency. Look for a NYK to get a big win and cover tonight!
