How to make Knicks vs. Spurs picks

After 10,000 simulations of Spurs vs. Knicks, SportsLine's model is going Over on the total (231.5 points). The Over is 3-1 for San Antonio over its last four games, as well as 6-2 over its last eight contests. Tuesday's contest takes place at a neutral site in Las Vegas, and the Spurs have also seen the Over go 9-5 in games outside of its home arena.

Additionally, recent matchups between these two have trended to be high-scoring affairs. Of the last six meetings between the Knicks and Spurs, five of them have eclipsed 230 combined points. This season, both teams rank among the top eight in offensive rating but outside the top 10 in defensive rating, as the offenses are clearly ahead of the defenses. SportsLine's proven model has the teams combining for 238 points. Thus, the Over hits with points to spare, with simulations having the Over hitting in more than 60% of simulations.

The model also says one side of the spread hits nearly 60% of the time. You can head to SportsLine to see the model's NBA picks.
