For Tuesday’s bets, we are taking the San Antonio Spurs to beat the New York Knicks in the NBA Cup finals. The Spurs pulled off a massive upset over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the semifinals, a win that proved they are among the league’s elite. Look for them to beat the Knicks in this game and hoist the NBA Cup for the first time. In the NHL, we like the San Jose Sharks over the Calgary Flames. The Sharks are the better team and should defeat a bad Flames team in their home arena, “The Shark Tank.”
