Spurs vs. Knicks Prediction & Odds for NBA Christmas Day

Victor Wembanyama will make his NBA Christmas Day debut when the San Antonio Spurs travel to face the New York Knicks at noon ET on Wednesday in Madison Square Garden.

This will be Wembanyama’s first of many holiday appearances, though his Spurs are nearly double-digit underdogs against the Knicks. The total is 223.5 in an intriguing matchup between San Antonio’s defense against a New York team that ranks second in offensive rating.

Here is a look at the latest Spurs vs. Knicks NBA odds and my best bet for Christmas Day:

Spurs vs. Knicks Odds, Dec. 25

• Moneyline: Spurs +310/Knicks -400

Spurs vs. Knicks Prediction – Friday, Dec. 25

Based on the latest NBA betting lines, my favorite Spurs vs. Knicks prediction is over 3.5 blocks (+105) for Victor Wembanyama on a day where I expect the big man to put on a show during his Christmas Day debut.

Wembanyama has recorded at least four blocks in four straight games. He’s swatted 29 shots over that span, including 18 blocks over the last two games. He blocked eight shots against the 76ers on Monday.

This season, Wembanyama is averaging four blocks per game. He’s established himself as the clear Defensive Player of the Year favorite.

This NBA player prop is my favorite Spurs vs. Knicks prediction on Christmas Day.

Prediction: Victor Wembanyama Over 3.5 Blocks (+105)
