NY Knicks Form & Team News
The New York Knicks roll into the NBA Cup final riding high on confidence after five straight wins. They earned their spot with convincing victories over the Toronto Raptors on the road (117-101) and the Orlando Magic in Vegas (132-120).
Sitting at 18-7, they're locked in as the East's second seed, feeling the rhythm just right. Jalen Brunson lit up the semis with 40 points and eight assists, perfectly setting up Karl-Anthony Towns (29 points, eight rebounds) and OG Anunoby (24 points).
The Knicks smartly dominated inside shots while letting Orlando bomb away from deep, knowing the Magic struggle there. Their chemistry shines, with nine wins in the last 10 games. This squad meshes effortlessly and loves playing together.
As the league's second-best offense with solid defense, they're primed for the moment. A win over the Spurs would cap off their hot streak with a trophy.
SA Spurs Form & Team News
The San Antonio Spurs hit the final with serious momentum, winning five of their last six and 10 of 13. Even without Victor Wembanyama for 12 games, they went 9-3 to reach 18-7, sharing fourth in the West.
Wemby's return sparked a thriller, stunning the Thunder 111-109 in the semis. He dominated in 21 minutes (+21 net rating), joining Devin Vassell (23 points), Stephon Castle, De'Aaron Fox, and himself, all at 22 points each.
They rallied from a shaky start, capitalizing on OKC's brutal 9/37 from three. Castle's been on fire post-injury, dropping 30 on the Lakers before his 22 here.
Wembanyama's size gives them an edge against the Knicks' frontcourt, and their depth—with eight double-digit scorers, keeps them tough. That European drive for any trophy fuels their fight.
Head to Head
Since the start of 2023, these two teams have played five head-to-head games, all of them closely contested, with the Knicks holding a narrow 3–2 advantage.
Verdict
Both teams arrive in the NBA Cup final in excellent form, but San Antonio’s depth and the presence of Victor Wembanyama give them a slight tactical edge in what should be another tight contest.
With their balanced scoring and ability to control the paint, the prediction leans toward the Spurs to edge out the Knicks and lift the NBA Cup trophy.
