New York Knicks – San Antonio Spurs : the final step of the NBA Cup 
The 2025 NBA Cup hits its peak this Wednesday in Las Vegas. The New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs meet at T-Mobile Arena for an unprecedented final between two teams that have defied the odds all tournament. With identical records and solid runs, the trophy suddenly feels within reach.
New York Knicks : Brunson pulling the strings 
The Knicks arrive confident after steamrolling Orlando in the semi. Jalen Brunson put in a boss performance, taking the game and steering his team with authority. Around him the New York unit has found balance, switching between quick shots and set plays. The current win streak confirms positive momentum, driven by aggressive defence and a revived outside touch. Question is whether the Knicks can keep that tempo against a side that brings heavy physicality.
San Antonio Spurs : the Wembanyama effect 
The Spurs made a statement by dumping Oklahoma City in a breathless semi. Powered by Victor Wembanyama—already decisive despite limited minutes—the Texas team proved they can handle big nights. Defensively, San Antonio causes real headaches at the rim, and their rotation adds genuine depth. Devin Vassell and the youngsters provide useful complements, which makes them tough to contain for all 48 minutes.
Keys to the game
The interior duel between Karl-Anthony Towns and Victor Wembanyama will be the headline. The Knicks will try to set the pace early, while the Spurs will aim to blunt New York’s outside shooting before winning it inside. Managing momentum swings and staying disciplined on defence could decide this one.
Takeaways
- Both teams come into the final with the same record and plenty of momentum.
- Jalen Brunson is the Knicks’ offensive engine and just produced a top-level showing.
- Victor Wembanyama lifts the Spurs’ defence, especially in the crunch moments.
- San Antonio’s depth and physicality can matter down the stretch.
NBA prediction New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs
Victor Wembanyama to score over 22.5 points
In tense finals the game tightens and leaders step up. Wembanyama, already prominent in the earlier rounds, should sit at the centre of the Spurs’ offence. Against a New York defence that’s been tested, the Frenchman has what it takes to clear 22.5 points.
A word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We give an opinion, a snapshot read, never a guarantee. Sport’s unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it’s not. Yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable eventually.
- Best advice: be sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking over, making you tense or stressed, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialised organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, responsibility’s yours. Reading our content means you accept the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is banned for minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
