I was a bit leery of this game with New York originally listing Derrick Rose, Reggie Bullock and Alec Burks as questionable, but they all have been upgraded to probable and that should be enough to beat a Spurs team playing the second of a back-to-back and third game in four nights. The Knicks still have the motivation of getting the East's No. 4 seed.

The Spurs are on the second half of a back to back after running into the wrong Nets team, as a returning James Harden was really good. The Knicks are back at home, but the first game after a West Coast trip makes me nervous. This game goes right down to the wire, so take the dog.

The Knicks finally return home after a brutal six-game road trip that included matchups against Phoenix, Denver and the Los Angeles Clippers. They will be playing in front of what should be an excited crowd after having clinched a playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Spurs are coming off a 12-point loss at Brooklyn on Wednesday. They previously have rested some of their starters in back-to-back situations and have a two-game lead for the final play-in spot, so it wouldn’t be surprising if we see a player or two sit on Thursday. Look for the Knicks, who are 12-2 ATS as home favorites, to come away with another cover.
