The Herd with Colin Cowherd’s 'Sharper Square' episode delivers a high-octane betting breakdown of the 2026 NBA Conference Finals, spotlighting Victor Wemby’s historic 40-20 double-overtime performance that reshaped the Spurs-Thunder series narrative. The hosts and guest Jason Timp argue that despite the Thunder’s elite shooting and physicality, San Antonio’s size, defensive versatility, and offensive depth—especially with Wemby’s alien-like dominance—give them a structural edge. They predict the Spurs will win in six games, with the Knicks favored over the Cavs in a tightly contested series that could go six, driven by Jalen Brunson’s evolved off-ball play and the Knicks’ new team-oriented offense. The episode also reveals a surprising betting angle: Donovan Mitchell’s potential 50-point explosion at Madison Square Garden, fueled by the arena’s unique energy and his personal history there. With odds shifting post-game one, the show emphasizes value in San Antonio’s series win odds and the Knicks’ futures, positioning this as a pivotal moment in the NBA playoffs.
Victor Wemby’s 30-foot game-tying three in double overtime was a defining moment that solidified his status as the NBA’s next generational talent.
The Spurs’ size and physicality—especially with Wemby and their guards bullying smaller guards—create an insurmountable advantage in home games.
The Knicks have evolved into a fundamentally different team this postseason, with 61% of made baskets assisted, compared to 50% last year.
Jalen Brunson’s drop from 71% to 55% of field goals being on-ball this year has made him a more efficient, less fatiguing engine for the Knicks.
Donovan Mitchell has a 50-point game in New York on the table due to the Garden’s unique energy and his personal history there.
