Knicks F OG Anunoby vs. Spurs: 15 Points

  • OG Anunoby’s absurd efficiency continues in the playoffs, shooting a blazing 56.4% from the field and 48.4% from beyond the arc.
  • In Game 1, the two-way star made only 5-of-12 shots (41.7%), but draining 3-of-6 3-pointers (50.0%) made up for inefficiencies from 2-point range.
  • His hot 3-point shooting helped produce 17 points. He’s posted 19.5 points per game (PPG) in the postseason and has reached at least 17 points in three consecutive appearances.
  • With Anunoby cashing in 9 of his last 19 attempts from deep (42.1%), he could take advantage of the Spurs allowing 12.8 made treys per game (tied for fourth-most) during the playoffs.

Knicks PG Jalen Brunson vs. Spurs: 21.5 Field Goals Attempted

  • We can’t forget about the hero of Game 1, as Brunson produced clutch bucket after clutch bucket on a rough shooting night, making only 12-of-31 field goal attempts (38.7%).
  • He finished the series opener with an absurd 31 shots, which surpassed his previous 2026 playoff high of 29 field goal attempts in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals vs. the Cavaliers.
  • Across 15 playoff games, Brunson has reached 22 shots in seven games. 
  • In the first round of the playoffs, the three-time All-Star’s 46.8% field goal percentage was his lowest mark for a full series, compared to 51.3% in the semifinals and 48.7% in the ECF.
  • When Brunson battled some tough shooting nights vs. the Hawks, New York force-fed its superstar guard, as he reached 22 field goal attempts in four of six games.
  • How does this apply to the NBA Finals? The Spurs feature an elite defense, including G Stephon Castle (104.8 defensive rating) and G Dylan Harper (100.6 defensive rating).
  • With a 30.6% usage rate in the playoffs, Brunson’s high volume may continue into Game 2.

Spurs G Dylan Harper vs. Knicks: 12.5 Points

  • Dylan Harper is a dog, and his 15.3 PPG and 63.0% field goal percentage over his last three games is proof.
  • The fearless rookie’s increased production has led to more minutes, totaling 26.5 minutes per game over his last eight appearances compared to 22.6 in the regular season.
  • Harper finds a way to get to the rim more often than not, and he’s excellent in the open court. Despite the Knicks allowing only 9.9 fast break points per game in the playoffs (second-fewest), San Antonio posted 15 fast break points in Game 1.
  • The No. 2 pick of the 2026 NBA Draft has even made 5 of his last 10 3-point shots (50.0%) compared to his regular-season 34.3% 3-point percentage.
  • New York has allowed 37.2 3-point attempts per game in the playoffs (13th).

Spurs C Victor Wembanyama vs. Knicks: 42.5 Pts + Rebs + Asts

  • This combined points, rebounds, and assists projection for Wemby could be too high, as he’s fallen under this projection in four consecutive games.
  • Plus, the French phenom has posted 39.6 combined points, rebounds, and assists per game in the playoffs.
  • While his all-world defense continues to draw praise, and rightfully so, Wembanyama has shot only 37.5% from the field over his last four games.
  • His 1.8 assists per game (APG) in the four-game split aren't helping his case either.
  • As mentioned, Wemby made only 2-of-11 shots (18.2%) when defended by Knicks C Karl-Anthony Towns in Game 1. Towns carries an eye-popping 99.2 defensive rating that leads New York’s starting lineup in the playoffs.
