What year is this that the Knicks are favored at the Spurs!?! With a win tonight, the Knicks could secure a record above .500 at the All-Star Break for the first time since 2012-13. It appears San Antonio, which had to play into overtime in Monday's home loss to Brooklyn, will be quite short-handed with LaMarcus Aldridge, Derrick White, Rudy Gay and Devin Vassell at a minimum expected out due to injury/protocols. Maybe 1-2 others as well. Consider a wager, too, on the Knicks on the first-half line as they have covered 13 games in a row on that spread (see news feed story).
