Summary
After a thrilling Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the best teams in world square off again on Friday night. But only one will lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy! Today we discuss all the best bets for New York Knicks versus San Antonio Spurs in this episode hosted by betting expert Chad Millman and professional gambler Simon Hunter. They welcome back NBA expert Jason Timpf of the Hoops Tonight podcast to break down the NBA Finals from a betting perspective, giving us all the gambling picks and predictions we'll need to profit from this exhilarating series.
The San Antonio Spurs sent a clear message across the basketball world with an electrifying performance in the Western Conference Finals, defeating the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in seven games. But superstar Victor Wembanyama was a little underwhelming in the first game of the Finals on Wednesday night. Do the favored Spurs have what it takes to defeat the New York Knicks, the winners of 12 consecutive games? In the Eastern Conference Finals, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns punched the New York Knicks' tickets to the NBA Finals with a commanding sweep of the overwhelmed Cleveland Cavaliers. They followed that up with a gutsy come-from-behind double-digit victory in Game 1. Chad and Simon ask Jason Timpf the biggest questions on the minds of NBA bettors as these teams battle on. #Volume
