The New York Knicks aim to extend their remarkable playoff run when they face the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the 2026 NBA Finals Friday night at 8:30 p.m. ET. After rallying from a 14-point deficit to win Game 1, the Knicks can take control of the series with their 13th consecutive playoff victory.

Jalen Brunson powered New York's comeback with 30 points despite leaving twice with injuries, while Victor Wembanyama contributed 26 points and 12 rebounds for San Antonio. The Spurs appeared in control most of the game until the Knicks' 11-0 finishing run sealed the 105-95 victory. This marked the first time San Antonio lost a Finals opener, having been 6-0 in championship series starts previously.

Oddsmakers list the Spurs as 6.5-point favorites, but the SportsLine Projection Model favors the Knicks covering that spread in a projected 109-106 finish. Meanwhile, Friday's MLB action features the Los Angeles Dodgers hosting the Angels, with Shohei Otani's RBI prop offering betting value.

The Stanley Cup Final shifts to Las Vegas Saturday for Game 3 between the Golden Knights and Hurricanes. After both teams overcame two-goal deficits in the first two games, the Golden Knights enter with a 55% projection advantage at home, where they previously captured their first NHL title in 2023.
