SAS vs NYK Dream11: In this cross-conference battle, the San Antonio Spurs host the New York Knicks. The Spurs have played some strong basketball recently, winning against the Warriors a few days ago too but still find themselves six games under the 50% win mark. On the other hand, the New York Knicks squad looks unsettled and is a game under the 50% win mark.
Spurs are rebuilding right now and it seems they have the right players moving ahead. San Antonio should have won more games, considering how many leads they blow and how many times they end up losing close battles. Still, the team has found incredible performances from DeJounte Murray.
The Knicks are not in sync, they don’t even know their regular rotations as of now. With Kemba Walker completely out of the picture, the team has been fielding only one Point Guard and that is Derrick Rose off the bench, who can’t be called floor general. New York hasn’t figured out how to deal with their flailing offense and it has become a huge concer.

NBA Projections, Stats, & Analysis
Spurs: Needs some polishing
For a young team to rank among the top-two assists per game team, means that the passing game has been solid for Murray and Co. And indeed, the Spurs can put on a scoring clinic through their elite passing and with Murray giving around 10-14 assists these days, you are surely going to get a ton of open looks. White is virtually the second point guard and contrary to the Knicks, the Spurs have a working offense with dependable guard combinations.
Knicks: What is going on>
New York has had no fizz this season, the unit looks underwhelming on multiple points. Kemba couldn’t fit in the system and Barrett after a hot start, has gone completely cold, shooting as low as 30% on many nights, which has hurt the squad. Guards Burks and Rose can combine for 22-23 points but again, the Knicks need a floor general type of Point Guard. Thanks to Julius Randle, there is some semblance at bot ends of the floor or things could have been much worse. Can Fournier take the mantle for this reeling squad?
