The San Antonio Spurs will look to even up the NBA Finals on Wednesday night, and the New York Knicks are looking to take a commanding, nearly insurmountable lead. Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know.
The San Antonio Spurs just have to win one more game in Madison Square Garden to even up the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks.
Through three games, the away team has taken every contest, and "home court advantage" seems to be more of a curse than anything else. In the first two games, the Knicks managed to contain Victor Wembanyama, making him look human, especially on offense. In Game 3, the Spurs were treated to the full Wemby experience, as he went off for an efficient 32 points with only one turnover.
If the Spurs play that brand of basketball in Game 3, all signs point to them heading back to Texas tied 2-2. However, after the first two games, there's no guarantee that the Spurs will be able to bring a competitive level of play for the full 48 minutes.
Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know, from betting odds, TV info, and injury reports for both squads.

After the Game 3 win, the odds shifted heavily in the Spurs' favor to take the series, although the Knicks are still in the lead. New York is waiting for a dominating performance from Jalen Brunson, who, like Wembanyama, has been solid but hasn't really taken control of a game. If the series were to end tonight (not possible, but still), Karl-Anthony Towns would probably take home Finals MVP.
The Spurs, meanwhile, are waiting for De'Aaron Fox to return to All-Star form. He's been a solid facilitator and hit a clutch midrange in Game 3, sealing the deal, but he's been far from the second-best player on the floor for San Antonio.
While the quality of basketball has been excellent so far, there is a bit of a weird feeling to this series, as neither team has been able to really show off for an entire game.
