The New York Knicks return to Madison Square Garden with a 2-0 lead over the San Antonio Spurs, but the Game 3 odds suggest this NBA Finals matchup is still expected to be tight.
After winning Game 2 by just one point, New York has momentum, home-court advantage, and a deeper late-game rhythm. San Antonio, however, has stayed competitive behind Victor Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox, and rookie guard Dylan Harper, making this far from a one-sided betting board.
According to BC.Game, the Knicks are slight favorites to win Game 3, while the Spurs remain close enough in the market to suggest another tense contest.
Knicks vs Spurs Moneyline Odds
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| New York Knicks | 1.74 |
| San Antonio Spurs | 2.04 |
The moneyline gives New York the edge, but not by a huge margin. That reflects the balance of the series so far: the Knicks are 2-0 up, but Game 2 was decided by a single point.
New York’s case is built around experience, home advantage, and clutch execution. Jalen Brunson has not needed to carry every possession, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges both giving the Knicks reliable scoring support.
For San Antonio, the 2.04 price shows the market still respects their upside. Wembanyama had 29 points, nine rebounds, and four blocks in Game 2, while Fox added 20 points and continues to give the Spurs a dynamic attacking option.
Main Handicap Odds
| Market | Odds |
|---|---|
| Knicks -1.5 | 1.81 |
| Spurs +1.5 | 1.96 |
| Knicks -2.5 | 1.92 |
| Spurs +2.5 | 1.84 |
| Knicks -3.5 | 2.04 |
| Spurs +3.5 | 1.74 |
The handicap market points toward another close finish. The Knicks are favored, but the spread sits in a narrow range, which makes sense after San Antonio pushed them all the way in Game 2.
New York’s fast-break scoring was a major difference in the previous matchup, with the Knicks outscoring the Spurs 19-11 in transition. If they keep forcing turnovers and turning stops into quick points, the -2.5 or -3.5 lines become much more interesting.
San Antonio’s route to covering is clear: slow the pace, limit live-ball turnovers, and let Wembanyama operate in better half-court situations. If the Spurs avoid the rushed possessions that hurt them late in Game 2, the plus handicap has a strong argument.
Total Points Odds
| Total | Over | Under |
|---|---|---|
| 214.5 | 1.77 | 2.00 |
| 215.5 | 1.84 | 1.93 |
| 216.5 | 1.91 | 1.85 |
| 217.5 | 1.99 | 1.78 |
The main total is centred around 215.5 to 216.5 points, which suggests BC.Game expects a slightly higher-scoring game than the first two meetings.
Game 1 finished at 200 total points, while Game 2 landed at 209. That makes the under worth discussing, especially if San Antonio successfully slows the pace and forces the Knicks into more half-court possessions.
However, Game 3 being played at Madison Square Garden could also lift New York’s offensive rhythm. If Brunson, Towns, and Bridges all stay involved, and Wembanyama continues producing at an elite level, the over becomes more realistic than the earlier series scores suggest.

Team Total Odds
| Team Total | Over | Under |
|---|---|---|
| Knicks 108.5 Points | 1.80 | 1.92 |
| Knicks 109.5 Points | 1.92 | 1.80 |
| Spurs 106.5 Points | 1.80 | 1.92 |
| Spurs 107.5 Points | 1.91 | 1.81 |
The Knicks have scored 105 points in both games of the series, so their team total above 108.5 asks them to find a little more production at home.
That is possible if Bridges continues punishing San Antonio’s defensive attention on Brunson. His mid-range scoring was a major factor in Game 2, especially when the Spurs tried to blitz New York’s primary ball-handler.
For San Antonio, the Spurs total sits around 106.5 to 107.5. Wembanyama gives them a high ceiling, but they may need more consistent support from Fox and Harper to push above that number on the road.

| Both Teams to Score 100+ Points — No | 2.40 |
| Will There Be Overtime — Yes | 10.00 |
| Will There Be Overtime — No | 1.03 |
The “both teams to score 100+” market looks especially relevant after Game 2 ended 105-104. Both teams have enough scoring options to reach triple digits, but the pace battle remains the key variable.
Overtime is priced as a long shot, but the first two games have shown how thin the margins are. San Antonio has already pushed New York deep into crunch time, and another one-possession finish would not be a surprise.
Winner and Total Combo Odds
| Market | Odds |
|---|---|
| Knicks & Over 215.5 | 3.10 |
| Knicks & Under 215.5 | 3.40 |
| Spurs & Over 215.5 | 3.80 |
| Spurs & Under 215.5 | 3.95 |
The combo market gives bettors a sharper way to read the game script. A Knicks win with the over suggests New York controls the tempo, gets out in transition, and benefits from a louder home environment.
A Knicks win with the under fits a more defensive version of the same result, where Brunson and Towns manage the game late and San Antonio struggles to turn Wembanyama’s production into enough team offence.
The Spurs winning with the under would likely require a slower, more disciplined performance. That means fewer turnovers, better defensive rebounding, and Harper continuing to provide scoring pressure off the dribble.
Knicks vs Spurs Betting Outlook
BC.Game’s odds make the Knicks deserved favorites, but the numbers do not frame Game 3 as a mismatch. New York has the series lead, the home crowd, and stronger late-game execution, while San Antonio still has enough elite talent to keep the game close.
The most important betting angle may be tempo. If the Knicks create another fast-break advantage, their moneyline and small handicap lines look strong. If the Spurs slow the game down and reduce mistakes, the under and San Antonio spread markets become more appealing.
Game 3 is not just about whether the Knicks can win again. It is about whether San Antonio can finally turn competitive stretches into a complete Finals performance.
