New York vs San Antonio Prediction: the Knicks Can Stop Even Better Offenses

Prediction for the NBA match between New York vs San Antonio, which will take place on November 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Knicks hosted the Los Angeles Clippers at home after losses to Cleveland (85-89) and Milwaukee (105-110) that sparked talk of trading Julius Randle. James Harden debuted for the Californians, joining a superstar lineup, but New York was not embarrassed. Tom Thibodeau's team played perhaps their best game of the season. The Knicks worked perfectly on defense, not allowing the opponent to reach even a hundred points, and achieved a convincing victory - 111-97. Randle answered the criticism and scored 27 points for his performance, R.J. Barrett - 26, and 13 points + 15 rebounds for Mitchell Robinson.

After two wins over Phoenix, the Spurs were too confident and got two painful thrashings. First, they led Toronto by as many as 18 points in the third quarter but blew a fourth one and lost in overtime, 116-112 (110-110). And then Indiana crushed them on the road, 111-152.

The draft's first pick, Victor Vembanyama, is doing well in the NBA - 19.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.6 blocked shots, and 1.3 steals per game. But like the rest of the San Antonio team, he needs to learn to avoid faltering from matchup to matchup.

New York's offense has only sometimes been effective, but their defense has only failed against Atlanta, stopping the super-attacks of Milwaukee and Boston. Why won't Tom Thibodeau find a defensive solution against Vembanyama and the Spurs? There is no reason to think otherwise.
