The Edge
A 3-1 Finals leader has never lost by 6 or more in an elimination game — the Spurs are priced as if they will blow the Knicks out, but New York's elite fourth-quarter execution and Wembanyama's documented late-game fatigue make covering a 5.5-point spread a highly predictable ask from San Antonio.
Key Factors
- Knicks hold a 3-1 series lead and have three chances to win the first championship since 1973.
- New York has lost the first quarter in all four games yet still won three of them, trailing inside the final two minutes each time — they are the steadier clutch team.
- Wembanyama went 3-for-14 after halftime in Game 4, missed three clutch free throws, and played 44 minutes showing fatigue signs heading into another elimination game with limited rest.
- The line opened Spurs -5.5 and has held there, meaning the market has not moved toward the Knicks despite their commanding series lead and momentum.
