⬆️ Jalen Brunson player prop: Over 6.5 assists (+110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brunson has been disappointing as a scorer lately, putting up 18 or fewer points in back-to-back games, but he has been exceeding expectations as a distributor.

The two-time All-Star has handed out seven or more assists in consecutive games, including an 11-assist effort against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. Brunson is in a shooting slump - he has gone just 12-for-40 from the field over his last two games - so there’s a good chance he focuses on setting up his teammates rather than forcing shots.

These +110 odds from BetMGM are the best available and carry an implied probability of 47.62%. A $10 winning bet would profit $11.

⬆️ LaMelo Ball player prop: Over 4.5 rebounds (-145) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Speaking of players in a slump, Ball has scored 18 or fewer points in six straight games. However, he has been a solid rebounder.

The Hornets’ star point guard is dealing with a wrist injury, though he’s probable for tonight. He has gone just 19-for-72 over his last five games, but he has contributed in other ways. Ball has grabbed five or more rebounds three times in that span, including a six-rebound outing in a loss to the Knicks on Nov. 26.

The Knicks were outrebounded 38-33 by the Celtics on Tuesday, including allowing 6-foot-6 Jordan Walsh to grab six boards. Look for the oversized point guard to take advantage of a tired Knicks squad. DraftKings’ -145 odds for Ball to record five or more rebounds carry an implied probability of 59.18%, with a winning $10 bet profiting $6.90.

⬆️ Karl-Anthony Towns player prop: Over 2.5 assists (-155) ⭐⭐⭐

Towns averaged 3.6 assists across 14 games in November.

The Knicks star has cashed this prop in 13 of 20 games this season, including 12 of his last 16. He recorded three assists against the Hornets on Nov. 26 - and that was in a 28-point rout. If the Hornets can keep tonight's game somewhat close, that only increases Towns' chances of clearing this total.

These -155 odds at DraftKings carry an implied probability of 60.78%, with a $10 bet profiting $6.45 if Towns records three or more assists.
