Victor Wembanyama’s elite rim protection has defined the Spurs’ postseason run, including a record 12 blocks in a single playoff game earlier this year, yet his 3.5 blocks per game average across 17 postseason contests underscores how rare a 10-block outing remains. The NBA Finals single-game record stands at nine, set by Dwight Howard in 2009, and the Knicks’ defensive adjustments plus the series’ pace have already limited Wemby to three blocks in Game 1. Traders view the required outlier performance against a prepared opponent as the primary barrier, reflected in the 65.1% implied probability that the mark stays unbroken.
