The San Antonio Spurs will meet the New York Knicks in the Finals this year, with the Knicks much more rested than their opponents in Texas.
Jalen Brunson and New York made light work of the Eastern Conference - they've won 11 straight games in the playoffs, including sweeps of the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Spurs, meanwhile, are fresh off a grueling seven-game series against the Oklahoma City Thunder that included plenty of physicality and mental fortitude. They come into the Finals as favorites, but plenty of fans and analysts around the league believe it will be a long series.

Elias Insights Specials - New York Knicks in the NBA Finals
OG Anunoby to Make all Free Throw Attempts in Game 1 (min. 1 attempt) (-130)
OG Anunoby was perfect from the free throw line in each of the last three games of the Eastern Conference Finals (2-for-2 in Game 2, 6-for-6 in Game 3, 4-for-4 in Game 4). The only Knicks players in the last 50 years to shoot 100% from the charity stripe in four or more consecutive games are Allan Houston (5 straight in 2001), Carmelo Anthony (4 in 2013), John Starks (4 in 1993), and Kiki Vandeweghe (4 in 1989).
Brunson, Bridges, and Hart to Combine for 314+ Points (-135)
The record for most points scored in one Finals series by teammates who entered the NBA from the same college is 313, by Celtics from Holy Cross in 1957. Tom Heinsohn (168) and Bob Cousy (145) accounted for all 313 points by former members of the Crusaders. Can the "Nova Knicks" trio of Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart surpass that total against the Spurs?
Knicks to Win 1+ Game by 25+ Points (+200)
The Knicks have five wins by at least 25 points in the 2026 playoffs, tying the 2015-16 Cavaliers, 2015-16 Warriors, and 2024-25 Thunder for the most by a team in one postseason. Can they break the record by winning at least on Finals game by 25+?
Knicks -8.5 in 1st Qtr of Game 1 (+675)
The Knicks last played in May 25. Three of the last five teams that entered the NBA Finals on as many as eight days' rest went on to outscore their opponentn by at least nine points in the first quarter of Game 1: the Cavaliers at Golden State in 2015 (up 100, Nuggets vs. Heat in 2023 (up 9), and Celtics vs. Mavericks in 2024 (up 17).
Knicks Score Fewer than 20 Points in a Qtr 3+ Times (+150)
The Knicks were held below 20 points in 12 of 20 quarters in their most recent NBA Finals appearance, against the Spurs in 1999. That tied the previous year's Jazz (12 of 24 vs. Bulls) for the most sub-20 point quarters by any team in the Finals since the shot-clock was established prior to the 1954-55 season. Compare that to these playoffs, in which the Knicks have failed to score 20 points just twice in 56 quarters. The Spurs have held opponents below 20 in nine quarters in the 2026 postseason, second most y any team behind the Pistons (10).
