The San Antonio Spurs are set to kick off a stretch with nine of 11 games on the road and will need a better offensive output after putting forth their lowest-scoring performance of the season on Saturday.
Sportsbook opened the Spurs as 4.5-point road favorites with a total of 199.5.
- The Knicks are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games at home.
- The Spurs are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games on the road.
- The Spurs are 4-1 SU in their last five games against the Knicks.
These teams met only a few days ago as the Spurs triumphed 119-107 last Thursday, but Kristaps Porzingis lifted the Knicks to a 105-103 win over New Orleans to end a four-game losing skid on Saturday. Porzingis scored seven of his 30 points in the final 90 seconds in the victory.
The Spurs were averaging 112 points during a three-game winning streak but shot just 36.9 percent from the floor, including 5-for-26 from downtown, in Saturday’s 93-79 setback to Detroit. The only bright spot to come out of the game was centered around star forward Kawhi Leonard, who logged a season-high 28 minutes and scored a team-high 18 points after sitting out vs New York.
When the Spurs hit the road, the UNDER has been red-hot. In San Antonio’s last 13 away from home, the UNDER is 11-2.
