🏀 Why the Spurs are still favored by 6.5
The Knicks stole Game 1 as underdogs and now own home-court advantage.
So why did sportsbooks move San Antonio from -5.5 in Game 1 to -6.5 for tonight's Game 2 (8:30 ET, ABC)?
VSiN NBA analyst Zach Cohen believes several factors point toward a much better Spurs performance tonight:
• The Zig-Zag theory.
• San Antonio shot just 11-for-43 from 3-point range.
• Victor Wembanyama should be better after being outplayed by Karl-Anthony Towns.
• More Dylan Harper after he scored 16 points on 6-for-10 shooting.
• Expect the Spurs to put more pressure on Jalen Brunson at the point of attack.

🏒 Vegas blew a 2-goal lead
The Golden Knights were 10 minutes away from taking a commanding 2-0 series lead before Carolina stormed back for a 4-3 overtime victory Thursday night.
The key question heading into Saturday's Game 3 in Las Vegas is the status of defenseman Brayden McNabb, who took a puck to the face in the first period and was reportedly transported to a local hospital.
The Hurricanes flipped back to -145 favorites to win the Stanley Cup, but Carolina is a +230 underdog in Saturday's Game 3 despite returning home.
