The Knicks produced the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history, coming from 29 points down to pinch a one-point win in Game 4. Can they close the series and take out the championship in San Antonio?<\/p>\n

New York Knicks @ San Antonio Spurs<\/h2>\n

What an incredible comeback it was in Game 4, leaving serious question marks around the durability of this young Spurs outfit.<\/p>\n

Wemby played huge minutes in Game 4 and looked completely gassed, while the Knicks carry an enormous amount of momentum into Game 5 in San Antonio, where they’ve already won twice this series.<\/p>\n

Can the Spurs extend the series on their home floor and give the series a pulse, or will the Knicks be too strong and secure their first championship in 53 years?<\/p>\n

Leg 1 – Knicks +5.5<\/h3>\n

I honestly think this will be it and the Knicks will be crowned NBA Champions.<\/p>\n

The lack of maturity of the Spurs has been on full display this series. They’ve struggled to close out games with no go-to play to get an easy bucket, while Spurs head coach Mitchell Johnson has really struggled to make adjustments, in-game reads and the correct rotations.<\/p>\n

New York just appear too organised, with multiple plans that Mike Brown can go to and Jalen Brunson causing way too many problems. In their three series closers this post-season, their average winning margin is 39.3 points.<\/p>\n

Leg 2 – OG Anunoby 15+ Points<\/h3>\n

He’s been incredible this series, averaging 23.8 points per game and hitting 15+ points in all four games.<\/p>\n

OG has also performed well in the series closers this post-season. Against the Hawks he had 29 points in 27 minutes, while against Cleveland he had 17 points in 27 minutes.<\/p>\n

We’ll likely continue to see OG playing 36+ minutes regardless of score in Game 5, so he’ll be hitting 15.<\/p>\n

Leg 3 – Stephon Castle 15+ Points<\/h3>\n

Foul trouble killed Stephon Castle in Game 4, and the Spurs desperately need him on the floor as he appears to be the only matchup troubling Brunson.<\/p>\n

Castle is averaging 16.8 points per game this series, hitting 15+ points twice, but in the two games he failed to hit 15 points he played less than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Getting back to San Antonio in Game 5, and potentially the rub of the green in terms of officiating, we should see Castle around the 36-minute mark. In the last 22 games he’s played 30+ minutes, he’s scored 15+ in 20 of those games.<\/p>\n

Same Game Multi<\/h2>\n

Knicks +5.5 \/ Castle 15+ Points \/ Anunoby 15+ Points = $3.60 <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Value Bet<\/h2>\n

I don’t think Mitchell Johnson will take the ball out of Fox’s hands in Game 5, even though he should probably consider it.<\/p>\n

In Game 4, Fox actually did create plenty of opportunities for the Spurs, having a total of 20 potential assists, with the only other players in double figures being Brunson with 15 and Castle with 13.<\/p>\n

Recording seven assists in Game 4, I think he’ll continue to hover around this mark.<\/p>\n
