New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs: Previous matchups

The Spurs were able to edge out during their last game against the Knicks with a narrow four-point victory. Jalen Brunson put up a massive effort for New York that night and ended up recording a staggering 61 points. However, Wembanyama would not let San Antonio down and recorded 40 points, 20 rebounds, and 7 assists for the win. We wonder if their upcoming matchup will inspire similar performances from these players.

The Knicks have been playing like a well-oiled unit this season and are currently holding onto the third seed in the East. The Spurs, on the other hand, have struggled to find any consistency and are currently the ninth seed in the West. Unless the Spurs can learn to play together overnight, this will prove to be a very difficult game for them. We expect big performances from both Jalen Brunson and Victor Wembanyama tomorrow.
Our Prediction: The Knicks will win
