NEW YORK KNICKS VS. SAN ANTONIO SPURS
The New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs will both be trying to pick up a win on Tuesday when they battle at AT&T Center.

Oddsmakers opened the Spurs as -2.5-point favorites versus the Knicks, while the game's total opened at 218.5.

In their last action, San Antonio was a 124-113 loser at home against the Nets. They failed to cover the +4.5-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (237) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

New York was a 109-90 winner in its last match on the road against the Pistons. They covered the -1.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 199 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

New York:
Team record: 18-17 SU,20-15 ATS

The San Antonio Spurs host the red-hot New York Knicks Tuesday night at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, beginning at 8:30 pm EST. The Spurs are favored by 2.5-points, down from 3.5-points at the opening, while the total stands at 218.5-points.

The Knicks enter this contest winners of 3-straight after taking out the Detroit Pistons at home in their last outing Sunday night as they relied on a solid team defensive effort along with a strong offense that shot 50% or better from the floor as well as from long-range. Julius Randle led the team yet again with 25 points while going 3-6 from deep while RJ Barrett continued his hot-shooting making 8-13 from the field (2-4 3FG) to post 21 points to lead the offensive charge. New York was also able to cover as 1-point favorites for the 2nd-straight game and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.

The Spurs have won 3 of 4 games and were able to atone for a road loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder February 24th to pick up a 3-point home win over the New Orleans Pelicans last Saturday as the Spurs were able to step up on the defensive end in the final minutes to hold off the road team and pick up their 17th win of the year. Offensively, San Antonio boasted a total of 6 double-digit scorers led by leading scorer DeMar DeRozan, who recently returned to the lineup after missing their contest versus the Thunder due to a family death. The Spurs were able to cover as 2.5-point dogs versus the Pelicans and have also been hot against the number as of late going 5-2 in their last 7.

San Antonio has picked up wins in 8 of the last 10 meetings versus the Knicks, including 3-straight overall. The Spurs have also won 5-straight at the AT&T Center versus New York. And while each have split the spread in the last 10 meetings, the Knicks have covered in 3 of 5 roadies versus the Spurs.

Barrett-Randle combo continues to shine for Knicks
The Knicks recent inspired play has propelled them to 3rd in the Atlantic stands as they are currently a game above .500 after beginning the season on a shaky note. Randle has continued to put up big numbers while the emergence of maturity from Barrett has done wonders for a Knicks team that has been in a rut for quite some time. “On the first unit they’ve found some chemistry together,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said to the New York Post of Barrett and Randle. “They’re reading the game well, playing the game unselfishly. They’re tied together at both ends of the floor. The way they’re playing is very, very good.”

The defense for the Knicks have also been on a roll as they enter this game allowing 106 points in their last 7 outings. In fact, New York is ranked 1st in the NBA in points allowed per game along with opponent field goal and 3-point percentage. In fact, in their last 5 meetings at AT&T Center, they have only given up an average of 107 points during this time.

Important to note that these teams have not met since November of 2019 when the Spurs were able to prevail as 7-point road victors. In this contest, the Knicks shot just 43% while nailing 15 treys with Barrett along with Randle combining to go just 1-7 from long-range on the night. On the other hand, Barrett shot 6-11 from the floor to post 13 points while Randle struggled (6-17 FG) with 14 points along with 4 turnovers.

Spurs get 30+ from DeRozan in win
DeRozan posted 32 points while dishing out 11 dimes for the Spurs in their win over the Pelicans while Dejounte Murray along with Lonnie Walker IV also chipped in 18 and 17 points, respectively, in the slim victory. However, yet another good sign for the Spurs was LaMarcus Aldridge posting 21 points in 23 minutes off the bench on 50% shooting as he was able to make all 10 of his free-throws in the contest. With the win, the Spurs were able to put a bit more space between them and the 2nd-place team in the Southwest division in the Dallas Mavericks.

However, San Antonio will now look to utilize their balanced scoring attack versus a Knicks team that has shined on both ends of the floor as of late. Despite this, the Spurs have posted some big numbers offensively versus New York in recent meetings in Texas, including scoring 119 points or more in 2 of their last 3 at home.

In fact, San Antonio shot 53% as a team along with connecting on 12 3-pointers in their last matchup versus the Knicks as Aldridge and DeRozen led the way with 23 and 21 points on efficient shooting nights. Patty Mills also scored 17 off the bench while going 5-5 from 3-point range as the Spurs shot 52% in this area in the 7-point win.

The Phoenix Suns will travel to the Staples Center on Tuesday night to take on the Los Angeles Lakers in a Western Conference matchup. This game will be the first of three games between these teams during the season. The Suns are fourth in the Western Conference with a 22-11 record and are riding a two-game winning streak. They are coming off a 118-99 road victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. The Lakers are second in the Western Conference with a 24-11 record. They are also riding a two-game winning streak after defeating the Golden State Warriors 117-91 on Sunday.

These teams are playing statistically similar so far this season but the absence of Anthony Davis could be the difference maker here. Let’s take a deeper dive and figure out where we should be placing our wagers.

D-Book Isn’t Fully Written Yet
The Phoenix Suns have had a big start to the regular season and shooting guard Devin Booker has been leading the scoring. He is averaging 25.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 0.8 steals in 34.3 minutes of action. He is shooting pretty well as he is 50.1 percent from the floor, 36.7 percent from deep, and 84 percent from the charity stripe. In his last game against the Timberwolves, Booker played 34 minutes and finished with 43 points, five rebounds, five assists, and a block. If he can replicate this performance, the Suns will be thrilled.
The Phoenix Suns have been a good defense to begin the year as they are the fourth-ranked team by giving up 107.5 points per game. In their last game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, they gave up 99 points on 35-of-93 (37.6 percent) from the field, 8-of-35 (22.9 percent) from beyond the arc, and 24 opportunities at the free-throw line. If they can defend the three as well as they did here, not many teams will beat them.

The Chosen One
Small forward LeBron James has been one of the best players in the league as per usual. He is averaging 25.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 34.5 minutes on the court. He is shooting well as he is 50.4 percent from the floor, 35.8 percent from the three-point line, and 69.5 percent from the free-throw line. In his last game against the Warriors, James played 24 minutes and finished with 19 points, six rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and two steals. If he can figure out a way to repeat this performance while Anthony Davis is out, the Lakers would love it.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been a solid defense in the league at this point as they are giving up 105.6 points per game, which ranks 2nd in the NBA. In their last game against the Golden State Warriors, they allowed 91 points on 35-of-86 (40.7 percent) from the floor, 8-of-34 (23.5 percent) from beyond the arc, and shot 19 free-throws. If the Lake Show can figure out how to force teams to shoot 40 percent consistently, it will help them out in the future.

Both of these SEC opponents are looking to bounce back from tough losses. Kentucky (8-14) just fell to Florida 71-67 as 2-point home favorites, which snapped a three-game winning streak. Meanwhile, Mississippi (13-10) has dropped two of their last three, including a disappointing 75-70 loss to Vanderbilt as 10-point favorites.

But sharps seem to be siding with the Rebels and we've seen this line rise from Ole Miss -1 to -2. Ken Pom has Ole Miss winning by one point, so the Rebels may be more appealing as a moneyline play.
