Happy Wednesday!

It’s finally here.

NBA Finals Game 1 tips off tonight at 8:30 PM ET as the Spurs host the Knicks in San Antonio to open one of the most anticipated Finals matchups in years.

Wembanyama vs Brunson. Two historic franchises chasing another title.

We covered the biggest storylines heading into the series on the blog yesterday, including Wemby’s rise, New York’s playoff run, and what could decide the Finals.

As always, we’ve got full picks for tonight’s matchup live on the Propsguru website. But below, we’re highlighting 3 of our favorite plays for Game 1 alongside today’s featured parlay.

Single-prop angles where our model shows higher probability than the odds reflect.

Landry Shamet has quietly become one of New York’s more reliable bench scorers late in the postseason, finishing with 9+ points in four of his last five playoff games.

With San Antonio expected to load up defensively on Brunson and the Knicks’ primary scorers, the spacing opportunities should continue to be there for role players around the perimeter.

Miles McBride’s offensive production has fluctuated throughout the playoffs, but he continues to create rebound opportunities in limited minutes.

He’s grabbed 2+ boards in three of his last four games against Cleveland and recorded 3 rebounds in his earlier matchup against San Antonio this season.

Finally, Dylan Harper enters the Finals coming off a strong Western Conference Finals series against Oklahoma City where he averaged 12 points per game and cleared this line in four of the seven matchups. The rookie guard has become increasingly aggressive offensively, especially attacking secondary matchups created by Wembanyama’s gravity.

Multiple edges combined into one value-driven parlay.

We’ve got a four-leg parlay for Game 1 sitting at +1415.

Miles McBride has cleared this line in three of his last five playoff games and already dropped 21 points against San Antonio earlier this season. A normal night for him clears this line.

Karl-Anthony Towns continues to carry a major offensive load for New York, averaging 20.1 points and 11.9 rebounds on the season. Knicks need a big series out of him.

De’Aaron Fox closed the Western Conference Finals strong, scoring 15+ points in three of the last five games against Oklahoma City. With San Antonio continuing to lean on his shot creation alongside Wemby, this line is reasonable heading into Game 1.

Keldon Johnson could become an important matchup piece in this series. The Sixth Man of the Year brings physicality and energy off the bench, and his activity around the glass should create rebound opportunities throughout Game 1.
