The NBA Cup concludes with the 18-7 Knicks and 18-7 Spurs looking to lift the trophy in Las Vegas on Wednesday. In a matchup between Wemby and Brunson, who will come out on top? Here are my tips, stats and predictions for the NBA Cup final.
San Antonio Spurs (18-7) at New York Knicks (18-7)
Wednesday 17/12/2025 at 12:30pm AEDT. Venue: T-Mobile Arena (Las Vegas)
San Antonio head to T-Mobile Arena for an NBA Cup final battle with the 18-7 Knicks. Here’s my thoughts on this matchup.
| SGM Bet | Victor Wembanyama 20+ Points – Jalen Brunson 30+ Points – Mitchell Robinson 8+ Rebounds | $6.50 |
|---|---|---|
| Best Bet | Over 230 Points | $1.88 |
Last 5 Form
New York Knicks
The Knicks are on fire at the moment, having won 5 games on the trot. In their latest game, they comfortably defeated the Magic 132-120 and will look to continue the winning momentum.
San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs hold a solid 4-1 record in their last 5 games. Last game, they just beat the Thunder 111-109 on the road, one of their best performances of the season thus far.

Head to Head
With the series split, expect another tightly contested battle between these evenly matched teams. Over/under punters should note: recent H2H games have landed between 225 and 231 total points.

Best Bet
Five of the last six games between the Spurs and Knicks have gone OVER the total match points line. The Spurs have scored 130+ pts in 2 of their last 3. New York scored 132 pts in their semi final against the Magic and Brunson should be tough for the Spurs defence too handle.
NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Knicks against the Spurs.
- 1st Leg – Victor Wembanyama 20+ Points: Wemby returned to the Spurs lineup last game, coming off the bench and scoring 22 pts in 21 minutes. I expect him to get more minutes in another important game for the Spurs. He’s also scored 20+ pts in his last 4 NBA games.
- 2nd Leg – Jalen Brunson 30+ Points: One of the hottest players in the NBA will be the key for the Knicks chances of lifting the NBA Cup trophy. He scored 40 pts in their win over the Magic last game and hasn’t fallen below 30 pts in his last 4 games. He also scored 61 pts in his second last game against the Spurs.
- 3rd Leg – Mitchell Robinson 8+ Rebounds: For a bit more value, Robinson to get 8+ rebounds looks like a nice price. He comes off 9 boards last game and had 13 boards recently as well. In his last 3 games against San Antonio, he has gone over 10 rebounds in all 3.
