Jalen Brunson M/L Than 6.5 Assists
Where Brunson has thrived this series — and generally speaking — is with his ability to score.
However, my interest tonight lies in his passing, as I’m betting him to go over 6.5 assists.
He’s averaging just 5.5 assists per game this series and has gone over this number only once (with 11 in Game 2), but I still see value in the prop.
Stokastic’s DFS Projections back it up, projecting him for 7 assists — and sportsbooks are steadily shifting the odds toward the over as the day has gone on.
Brunson is averaging 12.3 potential assists per game during the postseason. If the Pacers apply extra pressure, he’ll be forced to distribute and lean on his teammates. Clearly, Brunson trying to carry the load alone hasn’t worked for the Knicks – they’ll need help on the scoring end, and that starts with Brunson facilitating.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Jalen Brunson More Than 6.5 Assists
Karl-Anthony Towns M/L Than 19.5 Points
DraftKings Pick6 is giving us a two-point discount on Karl-Anthony Towns’ scoring line. While his standard prop is still listed at 21.5 points, Pick6 has him set lower — making it a much more favorable target. Even though we’re laying some juice on the 21.5, the reduced number on Pick6 gives us added value.
With their backs against the wall at home, KAT will need to step up. He’s averaging 26 points per game in this series and has scored 20+ in all four games — and I expect him to elevate his scoring even more tonight.
Also, Stokastic’s NBA DFS Projections have KAT scoring around 22 points tonight.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Karl-Anthony Towns More Than 19.5 Points
