New York Knicks Arena
New York Knicks won
The New York Knicks enter Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals as narrow favorites against the San Antonio Spurs, with bookmaker consensus placing their win probability at approximately 54%. The series stands at 2-1 in favor of New York after San Antonio took Game 3 by a score of 115-111, setting up a pivotal home contest at Madison Square Garden.
Home court is a significant factor here. The Knicks posted a 39-13 record at MSG during the regular season, and that environment has consistently proven difficult for visiting teams throughout the playoffs. Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mikal Bridges anchor a roster built for high-stakes moments, and the Knicks will be motivated to reassert control of the series before it tightens further.
San Antonio is not without weapons. Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle both performed well in Game 3, and De'Aaron Fox adds another dynamic offensive option capable of disrupting New York's defensive schemes. The Spurs have shown they can compete at this level, which is why the odds remain closer than a 2-1 series lead might suggest.
With no confirmed injuries or lineup changes on either side, the statistical framework holds steady. The Knicks' home advantage and bookmaker consensus make them the logical side to back in Game 4, though the low confidence rating reflects genuine uncertainty in what has been a competitive series throughout.

San Antonio arrives in New York with renewed confidence after their 115-111 road win on June 9, having erased a two-game deficit in this series. The Spurs boast an impressive 37-15 away record this season, averaging 118.7 points per game on the road — actually marginally better than their home output. Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox remain the cornerstones of their attack, while Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell provide crucial secondary scoring. Harrison Barnes is questionable after missing one game, which could affect San Antonio's frontcourt depth. McLaughlin, Olynyk, and Waters III remain sidelined, but the Spurs have managed without them throughout this run.

New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs - Match Analysis
New York's home record of 39-13 this season, combined with their 117.3 points per game at their arena, makes them a credible spread pick in this playoff setting. The Knicks are motivated after dropping the most recent meeting 111-115 at home on June 9. With Brunson, Towns, Bridges, and Anunoby all available, their core is intact. A small spread of 3-4 points aligns well with the home-court advantage value in playoff basketball. Medium-to-high confidence on the Knicks to cover.
The Under looks appealing here. Both teams are operating on high fatigue risk after playing on June 9, and playoff series between evenly matched opponents tend to tighten defensively as adjustments accumulate. The three recent playoff meetings produced scores of 226, 209, and 200 combined points — two of three went under 220. New York's home defensive numbers (107.4 points conceded per game) also support a lower-scoring outcome. Lean Under 220.5 with moderate confidence.
Absolutely possible. The Spurs went 37-15 on the road this season and just proved they can win in New York with their 115-111 victory on June 9. Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox are capable of taking over any game. However, Harrison Barnes is questionable, and the Knicks will be highly motivated at home. The bookmakers price San Antonio at 46.6% — fair value for a team with elite road credentials. The Spurs are a live underdog worth considering on the moneyline at around +105.
