Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.

Brunson Under 6.5 assists (-165)

While Brunson is the favorite in the NBA Finals MVP odds, he has become less of a distributor as the playoffs have progressed. He has recorded six or fewer assists in four straight games and, over a larger sample, has gone under this line in eight of his 10 games since the Knicks eliminated the Hawks.

The best line on Brunson Under 6.5 assists is -140 on the top sports betting sites. However, I'll use -165 at BetMGM for my personal tracking, as it would be misleading to recommend a line at a sportsbook that most people cannot access.

🔥 More Jalen Brunson prop picks

Brunson Over 26.5 points (-102)

Brunson has been more aggressive in these playoffs when he’s coming off an average or below-average game (for his standards). He averaged 26 points per game in the regular season and has scored 30 or more in each of his last six outings after scoring 26 or fewer. Brunson scored just 20 points on Friday, so he’ll likely be more aggressive today at home in the first NBA Finals game in New York since 1999.

Brunson Over 26.5 points (-102) at DraftKings is the best line available, but there's still value on Over 26.5 points (-108) at FanDuel. Since FanDuel and DraftKings rank first and second, respectively, in U.S. market share, this is a widely available number that most readers will be able to play.
