The Knicks kick off the month of March by welcoming the red-hot Spurs to Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
San Antonio comes into this game riding an 11-game winning streak, currently the longest in the NBA, which has included impressive wins over the Thunder, Pistons, Lakers and Warriors.
Victor Wembanyama is playing at an MVP level, and De’Aaron Fox has proven to be an excellent Robin to the French star’s Batman, but it’s been the Spurs’ balanced attack that has them dominating over the last month.
San Antonio head coach Mitch Johnson is keeping his players fresh during this winning streak, with not a single Spur playing more than 30 minutes per game.
Eight different players are playing 20-plus minutes per game, and two more are playing 13 or more minutes per game in one of the deepest rotations in the league.
Their scoring output has been even more evenly distributed.
Wembanyama is the only player averaging more than 17 points per game over that stretch, and even he is only averaging 22.5 per game.
Eight different Spurs are averaging at least nine points.
Fox has perhaps taken the biggest hit, scoring just 15.7 points a contest.
Betting on the NBA?
With everything going in San Antonio’s favor of late, not much should change against the Knicks on Sunday.
Look for Johnson to continue taking it easy on his stars and the Spurs’ supporting cast to shine in an early national television start in the Big Apple.
