Knicks Finding Their Way Without Star; Spurs Striving to Do the Same

It will be a battle between two teams missing key stars when the New York Knicks visit the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday in a late-season interconference matchup. While the Knicks have found ways to win despite their setbacks, the Spurs are still searching for the right formula.

Knicks Show Depth Amid Injuries

New York (43-24) enters the game riding high after a 116-95 comeback victory over the Miami Heat on Monday. Despite trailing by 13 points early, the Knicks dominated the second half, outscoring Miami 41-15 in the third quarter to take control.

Mikal Bridges led the way with 28 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 23, including 15 unanswered in the second quarter to spark the comeback.

“We started out slow and I wanted to add some energy to the game. I got a chance to be aggressive … I wish I would’ve got more, but I was glad I was able to jump-start our offense so we could get this win.” — Karl-Anthony Towns

Josh Hart posted his eighth triple-double of the season with 12 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists, tying a franchise record set by Walt “Clyde” Frazier in 1968-69.

“My playing style is very sporadic, you never know what you’re gonna get. For me to be in the same sentence or tied with a record like that is nothing but a blessing … from (Frazier) and my teammates.” — Josh Hart

The Knicks, currently third in the Eastern Conference, have already secured a playoff spot. With 15 games left, they hold a comfortable five-game lead over Milwaukee for home-court advantage in the first round. Bettors looking for NBA expert picks should keep an eye on New York’s strong late-season push.

Spurs Still Fighting for Playoff Hopes

San Antonio (28-39) returns home after a 125-109 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite trailing most of the game, the Spurs showed resilience with a 15-0 run in the third and fourth quarters but couldn’t close the gap.

Stephon Castle led the team with 23 points, followed by Devin Vassell (17), Jeremy Sochan (15), and Keldon Johnson (11). San Antonio remains four games out of the 10th seed in the Western Conference with 15 games left—10 of which are against teams above the playoff line.

“I think we gave ourselves a chance to come back and win the game early in the fourth. I was happy we stayed in the fight. Nobody really hanged their head or gave up. We kept playing through the end.” — Stephon Castle

Castle has shown promise in his rookie season, forming a potential future core alongside Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox—both sidelined for the remainder of the season due to injuries. Veteran point guard Chris Paul emphasized the importance of these minutes for Castle’s development.

“There’s no teacher like playing, so the fact that he’s (Castle) getting in-game reps means he gets a chance to see what it looks like in live-action. (It’s) only going to continue to help him.” — Chris Paul

With the Knicks rolling and the Spurs fighting to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, this game provides intriguing angles for those checking out the latest NBA betting predictions to make informed wagers.
