Both these teams put up excellent performances in the semifinals to reach the final showdown with Victor Wembanyama coming off the bench to deliver 22 points from 21 minutes to guide San Antonio past the high-flying Oklahoma City Thunder, as they suffered only their second defeat of the season, with their 16-game winning streak also coming to an end.

The French Phenom also has an excellent support system at the Spurs with players like Devin Vassell, Stephon Castle, and De’Aaron Fox all stepping up and working in unison under the tutelage of coach Mitch Johnson.

On the other hand, the New York Knicks were thorough professionals in their 132-120 win over the Orlando Magic, with Jalen Brunson leading the charge with a massive 40-point performance. He is the cornerstone of the New York franchise, and given his form in the last couple of games, the Knicks are slight favorites primarily because of their more experienced roster. Overall, in their last five meetings, the Knicks hold a 3-2 record.
