The Spurs are finally on the board in the NBA Finals, and now we have a series.

The Knicks saw their epic 13-game win streak end in Game 3 of the Finals on a chaotic night at Madison Square Garden, and the odds for Game 4 couldn’t be closer.

The Knicks opened as 1.5-point favorites in Game 4 at BetMGM, matching the closing line before tip-off Monday night.

The Game 4 spread reflects just how close this series has been thus far — every game has been tight down the stretch, with the game in the balance with a minute to go.

The Knicks were down by three with 30 seconds remaining and trailed by two with less than 10 seconds to go Monday, but the Spurs made critical plays late.

Spurs point guard De’Aaron Fox hit a clutch mid-range jumper over OG Anunoby to push the Spurs’ lead to five points with 12 seconds left.

Anunoby followed up with a difficult corner 3-pointer to cut the deficit back to two points, then Stephon Castle iced the game with two big free throws.

The spread shows sportsbooks still aren’t giving the Knicks as much respect as they gave the Spurs, who opened as 5.5-point favorites for Games 1 and 2 in San Antonio.

The Knicks are now 13-4 against the spread in the postseason compared to the Spurs’ 13-8 mark.

While the Knicks still remain the favorites to win the Finals, the line has shifted from -500 odds before Game 3 to -200 after.

The first three games of the series have all been won by the road team thus far, which means underdogs have cashed in three straight games.

But the underlying metrics that could determine who wins Game 4 are turnovers and assists.

The Knicks won the turnover battle in the first two games of the series, but gave up 21 points off turnovers in Game 3. They also fell short of 20 assists for just the second time in the postseason.

The other game was their last loss against against the Hawks in Atlanta.

Wednesday’s Game 4 hinges on whether the Knicks can make the right adjustments and defend home court to prevent the Spurs from rallying to tie the series and turn the Finals into a best-of-three set.
