🏀 Knicks vs. Spurs Player Props Today: NBA Finals Game 1 Picks & Best Bets (June 3)

📡 SBR Edge: Back Hart in San Antonio
My Knicks vs. Spurs player props for Game 1 today feature Josh Hart Over 1.5 three-pointers made (-155). He should get several open looks on corner threes today, as Victor Wembanyama patrols the paint. My second NBA Finals best bet is Wembanyama Under 11.5 rebounds (-102), as he has struggled to rebound recently against strong bigs (like Mitchell Robinson and Karl-Anthony Towns).

💰 Best Knicks vs. Spurs prop bet
Josh Hart Over 1.5 three-pointers made (-155)
We saw how much Wembanyama’s presence in the paint affected the Thunder in the West finals (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 5.2 fewer PPG in that series than he did in the regular season).
So, the Knicks will likely be looking to drive and kick for open looks from the corner - the shortest three - and Hart led New York in corner 3-point attempts in the East finals with 2.5 per game. His Over 1.5 three-pointers made is -140 on the best sports betting sites, but I'll use the -155 at BetMGM for tracking purposes, since it's a widely available number.

Victor Wembanyama Under 11.5 rebounds (-102)
It’s no secret that Wembanyama struggled to rebound after Game 2 in the West finals, once the Thunder started playing Isaiah Hartenstein more minutes and began benching Chet Holmgren in key spots. What frustrated Wembanyama was Hartenstein’s strength, which is why he’ll continue to struggle to rebound today against Robinson and Towns, who are both heavier than Wembanyama despite being four inches shorter.
Wembanyama’s adjusted rebound chance percentage was just 51.7% over his last four games, compared to 74.2% and 61.5% for Robinson and Towns, respectively, over that span. Some of the best NBA betting sites offer Wembanyama Under 11.5 rebounds (+105), but I'll track the -102 at DraftKings, since that's an easier price to find.

💡 How I'm betting Knicks vs. Spurs: NBA Finals Game 1 strategy
Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
I’m not looking too closely at head-to-head results between these teams from earlier in the season, since both have improved drastically, and in different ways.
The Spurs’ style of play has changed throughout the season, as Wembanyama has become more dominant and Harrison Barnes has taken on a smaller role, which has helped Julian Champagnie flourish as a shooter.
The Knicks have also seen a dramatic shift in playstyle, as Towns is now more of a distributor in the postseason, rather than a 1B offensive option alongside Jalen Brunson.
