No team is as good or as bad as its most recent game. This is the truest of gambling axioms, though it may not apply to a team’s 12 most-recent games. Regardless, do not overreact to the New York Knicks’ win in Game 1.

Certainly, do not overreact to certain stats, as sportsbooks seem to have when looking at their props, along with some San Antonio Spurs numbers.

My Knicks vs. Spurs NBA player props and these NBA picks run counter to some sportsbook movement simply because the value is too distinct to be explained away via one game.

Game 2 tips off at 8:30 ET on Friday, June 5.

Jalen Brunson

Over 6.5 assists

Game 2 Prop #1: Jalen Brunson Over 6.5 assists

Jalen Brunson’s assists prop was set at 6.5 in Game 1, and the Under was priced at +115. Yes, the New York Knicks star dished out just two assists while taking 31 shots — that is not a typo; Brunson took 31 field-goal attempts — but this is still an overreaction.

If anything, Brunson’s inefficient-though-heroic Game 1 should strengthen the argument that he will move the ball in Game 2. The San Antonio Spurs should leave him little choice.

Postseason series are defined by adjustments. San Antonio will focus its defense on preventing Brunson from beating it again. For that matter, Brunson should devote himself to not going 12-of-31 from the field again. To some degree, New York got away with one in that regard.

But mostly, one game should not flip the plus-money on this prop. That is an overreaction that creates value.

Game 2 Prop #2: Victor Wembanyama Under 26.5 points

Only headlines keep this prop elevated. Victor Wembanyama has fallen short of this modest points prop in three of his last four games. He did not reach 27 points in four of the seven games in the Western Conference Finals and in four of the six games against the Timberwolves.
