Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET from TD Garden in Boston (NBC/Peacock), with the Knicks and Celtics priced at even-money betting odds to win Tuesday's matchup. New York won the first head-to-head matchup earlier this season, but Boston has begun to turn its season around after a slow start.

💰 Best Knicks vs. Celtics player props

Search the best NBA player prop odds for any team or player across every market from legal sportsbooks in your area.

⬆️ Jalen Brunson player prop: Over 33.5 points + assists (-111) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This total is right in Jalen Brunson's wheelhouse, as he's averaging 28.5 points and 6.2 assists this season. He's gone Over this combo prop total in three of his last five games overall, as well as three of five previous meetings with the Celtics specifically.

That includes Brunson clearing this mark with 36 points + assists in the first matchup against Boston earlier this season.

BetMGM offers the top value among the best sports betting sites, with the -111 odds translating to an implied probability of 52.61%. A $10 bet will win $9.01 in profit if successful.

⬆️ Jaylen Brown player prop: Over 27.5 points (-104) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jaylen Brown has been on a heater this season as Boston's sole offensive engine without running mate Jayson Tatum.

The Celtics star is averaging a personal-best 28.4 points per game on a career-high 36.3 usage rate - the second-highest rate in the league.

He's also gone Over this scoring total in five of his last seven games. We're getting reasonable -104 odds from Caesars, which imply a 50.98% chance this bet hits. A $10 wager would result in $9.26 in winnings.

⬇️ Karl-Anthony Towns player prop: Under 11.5 rebounds (-121) ⭐⭐⭐

I'm fading Karl-Anthony Towns against a top-10 rebounding team, as the Knicks star has only cleared this total once in his previous five games.

Though KAT ranks second in the league in total rebounds per game (11.9), I project him to fall short of his average tonight against Boston's Neemias Queta, a solid rebounder in his own right.

A $10 bet at DraftKings' -121 odds (54.75%) would net a $9.62 profit.
