The New York Knicks look to bounce back today when they visit the LA Clippers. The Knicks are a 2.5-point betting favorite despite losing 110-97 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday afternoon, their second loss in their last three games. I've found two players who are being undervalued by the betting market today as we attack one of their assists props and the other's 3-point line.

My Knicks vs. Clippers player props today target Kawhi Leonard and Mikal Bridges. Tipoff from Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., is set for 10 p.m. ET (NBC Sports Network; streaming on Peacock). My NBA picks have been tracked, and my betting record can be found below the analysis for today's best bets.

💰 Best Knicks vs. Clippers prop bet

The Knicks have the sixth-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.

Mikal Bridges Over 3.5 assists (-120)

As Bridges has taken a step back as a scorer - he's put up 11 or fewer points in three of five March games - he has become more of a distributor. Bridges has recorded four or more assists in three of his last four games.

Over a larger sample, Bridges has cashed this prop in six of 10 games since the All-Star break. BetMGM has Bridges Over 3.5 assists at -120, but this bet is good up to -145 at the best sports betting sites.

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

Kawhi Leonard Over 2.5 three-pointers made (+111)

Leonard has gone under this number in back-to-back games, but that trend will likely end soon. The Clippers star has attempted six or more 3-pointers in seven of his last eight games - he's just shooting an uncharacteristically low 15 of 49 (30.6%) in that span.

Leonard is a career 39% 3-point shooter and finished the last three seasons at over 41%. If he attempts seven 3-pointers, he'll likely cash this prop. Leonard is listed at +111 to go Over 2.5 three-pointers at DraftKings, but I would play this at the best NBA betting sites up to -105.

💡 How I'm betting Knicks vs. Clippers

I treat one unit as 1% of the total money I have set aside solely for sports betting. I've allocated 2.1 units for this game, which is what I usually risk when betting two player props.

I'm confident in both of these plays directionally; however, these lines aren't priced too far off from where I would set them. I'm targeting these props after analyzing recent performances from both players. While recent performances could be noise - and aren't necessarily predictive against different teams - I don't see a reason for a major shift from these players' recent histories.
