New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, who has played out of his mind in the postseason, shrank like a cheap t-shirt under the bright lights of Broadway in the loss to the San Antonio Spurs last time out.

Spurs vs Knicks best bet: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 32.5 points + rebounds + assists (-112)
New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns couldn’t get going in Game 3.
The San Antonio Spurs mixed up their defense, sending guard Stephon Castle at the 7-footer. While that threw off Towns, he was also passive cutting, posting, and attacking (when he wasn’t passed up in pick-and-pop spots).
Coach Mike Brown singled out his lack of activity, and I expect the Knicks to get KAT early touches in Game 4.

I also see the officials trying to balance out some of the foul shooting discrepancies from Game 3 (a squeaky coach gets the grease), which can mean more trips to the stripe for New York or the refs swallowing their whistles.
