The NBA Finals heat up as the New York Knicks take on the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 at the Frost Bank Center tonight. Tip-off is set for 8:30 PM EST, with national broadcast coverage on ABC.
The Knicks have watched Jalen Brunson become an absolute force, torching every defense he’s faced this postseason. Karl-Anthony Towns continues to be a reliable two-way presence in the paint, as New York looks to steal another game on the road.
For the home favorites in the NBA odds, Victor Wembanyama remains a matchup nightmare, and Stephon Castle has stepped up to provide a massive offensive spark. As good as those two have been, the Spurs desperately need a bounce-back performance from De’Aaron Fox, who struggled to find his shooting rhythm in the series opener. I’m not expecting that to happen however, so keep reading to find out why, plus see the best Knicks vs Spurs player props to bet in Game 2, below.
Knicks vs Spurs Player Prop Odds (Game 2)

Despite the surplus of star power for both NBA Championship odds contenders, my favorite player prop picks are centered around secondary pieces in the NBA starting lineups. My top wager is Josh Hart over 8.5 rebounds, as the crafty veteran continues to find ways to dominate on the glass.
I’m also betting under 14.5 points for Fox. He’s failed to clear that line in four of his last five starts, and I don’t see that changing tonight based on how well New York is currently defending.

The Knicks dominate the glass, and Hart has been the primary beneficiary of their physical style. During the regular season, Hart established a solid baseline, averaging 7.4 rebounds per game. In the postseason, his production has taken a massive leap to 9.1 rebounds per contest.
That upward trajectory is even more pronounced lately, as he averages 9.2 boards over his last five games. More importantly, Hart has gone over this 8.5 passing line in 4 of his last 5 playoff games, giving this trend a dominant 80% success rate.
In Game 1, Hart was an absolute magnet to the ball, racking up a staggering 15 rebounds in just 27 minutes. Given his elevated playoff usage and his team’s 55.2% Total Rebound Percentage, this wager is a major value according to our NBA player prop analyzer.
In the regular season, Fox was a reliable offensive engine, averaging 18.6 points per game. Unfortunately, his scoring has fallen off a cliff in the postseason, dipping to just 15.9 points.
His situational splits highlight a major slump. In home playoff games, Fox averages just 13.8 points. Over his last 10 postseason games, he is putting up a dismal 12.8 points. Fox is 3-7 against a points line of 14.5 points in that span, cashing the under at a highly profitable 70% rate.
This downward spiral culminated in Game 1, where Fox scored just 7 points on 3-for-13 shooting. The Spurs also struggle with ball security, coughing up 15.1 turnovers per game to a defense averaging 8.9 steals. With the pace grinding to a deliberate 95.7 rating, Fox will struggle to find clean looks.
