🏀🏈 From the NBA Cup to Bowl Season

Tonight marks the NBA Cup Finals! It’s the only NBA game on the slate.

The Knicks are 2.5-point favorites over the Spurs with a 233.5 total on a neutral court in Vegas. No home-court noise, no travel angles— just pace, matchups, and how Wembanyama warps everything around him. With that in mind, here’s how I’m attacking the prop board tonight.

Josh Hart Over 13.5 Reb+Ast (-115)

When Wembanyama is on the floor, someone else has to do the dirty work — and that’s usually Josh Hart.

Last Christmas against San Antonio, KAT finished with just 9 rebounds while Hart cleaned up with 12, finishing the game with 18 rebounds + assists. Historically, Hart has gone over his R+A prop in 3 of 4 games against the Spurs.

With Wemby pulling rebounds away from Karl-Anthony Towns, Hart is the natural pressure valve. Extra boards. Extra ball movement. Same role he always plays — just amplified in this matchup. Plus, guards have had more success rebounding against the Spurs with Wemby on the floor.
