🏀 NBA Finals Series Props 2026: Knicks vs. Spurs Betting Odds & Expert Picks

With the Knicks and Spurs set to compete for the Larry O'Brien Trophy, we took a look at the 2026 NBA Finals series props ahead of tipoff on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC).

We break down the odds for the series spread, exact number of games, highest single-game scoring performance, and more while sharing our best bet after scouring the market for value.

🏀 NBA Finals series spread

See all of our experts' NBA picks based on the latest NBA odds for the playoffs. All odds via DraftKings.

While the standard spread here is Knicks +1.5 (-155) | Spurs -1.5 (+130), there are several ways to approach this market. Be careful when betting into lines with a wider bid-ask spread, though.

Because of that, I would stick to the Knicks +1.5 / Spurs -1.5 line. No matter which side you prefer, it only makes sense to bet it if you expect that team to win Game 1. For example, if you like Spurs -1.5 but are concerned about their rest disadvantage in the opener, you should wait until after Game 1 to bet them at a better price.

🎯 NBA Finals correct score

Spurs to win 4-3 (+310) and Spurs to win 4-1 (+380) are among the most likely outcomes in the NBA Finals, as the market has San Antonio favored in the series.

However, Spurs to win 4-1 (+380) carries shorter odds than Spurs to win 4-2 (+500) because San Antonio would likely be an underdog in New York for Game 6 (I would project the line to be Knicks -3.5, barring injuries, based on the line movement we saw in the conference finals).

🔥 Total games Over/Under

With the Spurs winning in seven games being the most likely outcome in this series, it makes sense that Over 5.5 games (-170) is favored over Under 5.5 games (+140).

As we’ll see in the next market, the series landing on six games is the second-most likely outcome, as that would be New York’s best chance to win the Finals while still giving San Antonio a reasonable path to victory.

⏱️ Exact number of games

The series going 7 games (+190) has the shortest odds in this market, followed by it landing on exactly 6 games (+220).

While the Spurs are just +700 to win in a sweep, the reason 4 games (+550) is so unlikely is that the Knicks are +2000 to pull off a sweep.

💥 Highest scoring performance: Player points props

Victor Wembanyama (-225) is the favorite to record the highest single-game scoring performance in this series, followed by Jalen Brunson (+150).

For a market like this, we're not too concerned with players' points-per-game averages; instead, we want to look at their ceiling. Wembanyama has scored 35 or more points at least once in each series this postseason, as has Brunson. Wembanyama's career playoff high is 41 points, while Brunson's is 47 (his playoff high this season is 39).

The odds on Brunson (+150) to record the highest scoring performance imply that he has just a 40% chance of doing so - I don't agree.

He has a higher offensive ceiling than Wembanyama right now, as he has scored 40+ points in nine career playoff games, while Wembanyama has done it just once. Yes, Brunson’s playoff high is 39 points this season, but the Knicks have also won 11 straight games - nine of which were by 13 or more points - so he hasn’t had many opportunities to play in close games, which would lead to more scoring.

Best bet: Jalen Brunson to record highest single-game scoring performance (+150)
