The 2026 NBA Finals will see the Spurs take on the Knicks after both teams won their conferences. The Spurs' young core, led by Victor Wembanyama, emerged from the vicious Western Conference despite their lack of playoff experience.
They took down the defending champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder, in the Western Conference final to announce their arrival and possibly the start of a new era.
Spurs dominated OKC in the regular season, and they showed that it was not a fluke by taking out the defending champions in seven in the Western Conference Final.
They will now hope to complete the job in the finals, where they will take on a Knicks side seeking to banish over 50 years of pain.
Knicks fans have had to endure the pain of watching their team fail to win the NBA championship since 1973. In fact, the last time the Knicks played in the NBA Finals was in 1999, which, ironically, was against the Spurs.
They have not only been in basketball purgatory, but they have also been in hell, which is ironic because their home court is considered the Mecca of Basketball.
However, the good news for them is that they can end their basketball hell this year, although they will need to do something special against this Spurs side.
The Spurs finished second in the Western Conference behind OKC, with a 62-20 record. The team was led by Wembanyama, whose exploits earned him a unanimous Defensive Player Of The Year award, All-NBA First Team and All-NBA Defensive First Team nods
Following the regular season, the Spurs defeated the Portland Trail Blazers in five games in round one of the Western Conference before beating the Minnesota Timberwolves in six in the semifinals and OKC in the finals.
The Knicks made a big move last year by hiring Mike Brown to replace Tom Thibodeau, who led the team to the Eastern Conference Final last year. That move has paid off, as the Knicks finished third in the Eastern Conference this year with a 53-29 record.
It was their highest win total since the 2012-2013 season. Following the regular season, the Knicks played the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs, and that turned out to be their most difficult series so far this postseason.
Despite the Hawks showing up, the Knicks won the series in six games. Following that win, the Knicks swept both the Philadelphia Sixers and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the semi-final and final.
They are currently on an 11-match winning streak going into the finals.
Both teams will need their star players to show up if they are to win. Thankfully, their two leaders have done that so far in the postseason.
Wembanyama has been brilliant for the Spurs in his first playoff run, averaging 23.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.5 blocks, and 3.1 assists across 17 games.
He was the key factor in the WCF against OKC, dropping 40 in Game 1 and putting up another big performance in Game 7.
While Wembanyama has been key for the Spurs, the Knicks also have a big performer in Jalen Brunson. The point guard has been punching above his weight in this postseason, averaging 26.9 points, 6.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 14 games.
However, while Wemby and Brunson’s performance will be key, the performance of the supporting casts of both players will also go a long way in determining the winner of this championship.
Spurs will need the young duo of Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper to be on their A-game, while Karl-Anthony Towns cannot afford to get in foul trouble for the Knicks. The Knicks will also need Josh Hart to do more on the offensive end.
The two sides met three times in the regular season, including the NBA Cup final. The Knicks beat the Spurs to win the NBA Cup in November, but the Spurs gained their revenge in January.
However, the Knicks then got the better of the Spurs in March to win the regular-season battle 2-1.
Spurs are favourites to win the series, with Wembanyama and his teammates priced at 1.48 to succeed OKC as the NBA champions. Meanwhile, the Knicks are priced at 2.65 to end their 53-year wait for an NBA title.
The Spurs are also the favourites to win game 1 of the series, which is also on their home court.
Moneyline: This is simply betting on which team will win the game. Eg: You can bet on the Knicks to win Game 1 against the Spurs.
Totals: This is also known as the overs market. Here, you are betting on the total number of points over or under a certain threshold. For example, you can bet on the Spurs to score over 111.5 points in Game 1.
Prop Bets: These are types of bets that have nothing to do with the outcome of the game. In basketball, you may see them as player bets or team bets. For example, you can bet on Luke Kornet to score 5.5 points for the Spurs in Game 1.

This is indeed a difficult one to call because the Knicks had the upper hand during the regular season. However, with Wemby looking like a man on a mission, our pick is the Spurs to win the series, priced at 1.46 at the time of writing this article.
