📡 SBR Edge: Towns Timid on the Boards Again

My Knicks vs. Hawks player props tonight feature Nickeil Alexander-Walker Over 18.5 points (-125) as he competes with Jalen Duren in the NBA Most Improved Player of the Year race. I wrap up my top NBA picks with Karl-Anthony Towns Under 11.5 rebounds (+103), as he has been underperforming as a rebounder lately.

💰 Best Knicks vs. Hawks prop bet

Nickeil Alexander-Walker is a -182 betting favorite in the NBA Most Improved Player odds.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Over 18.5 points (-125)

Alexander-Walker is in a tight race with Duren to win Most Improved Player, and he should remain aggressive tonight as a favorite against the Knicks. He has gone over this line in 13 of his last 16 games and has played a larger role in the Hawks' offense since early March.

Alexander-Walker has cashed this bet in back-to-back games, including a 32-point outing against the Magic in Orlando on Wednesday. BetMGM lists Alexander-Walker Over 18.5 points at -125, but this bet is good up to -155 on the best sports betting sites.  


🔥 More Knicks vs. Hawks prop picks

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

Karl-Anthony Towns Under 11.5 rebounds (+103)

Towns was on a tear as a rebounder, recording 12+ rebounds in 11 of 13 games from Feb. 27 to March 24, but that streak has ended recently.

His minutes have been sporadic, and he has been the Towns we’ve known his entire career - full of potential but lacking aggression on the court. He has recorded 11 or fewer rebounds in three of his last four games, with a median of just 9.5 rebounds per game during that span. His Under is +103 at DraftKings, but I would play this up to -110 on the best NBA betting sites.

🎟️ Most-bet NBA player props tonight

Here's my analysis of the most-bet NBA player props tonight (h/t BetMGM):

Player Team Bet Odds
Luke Kornet Spurs Under 10.5 points + rebounds + assists -110
Jalen Duren Pistons Under 11.5 rebounds -135
Desmond Bane Magic Over 7.5 rebounds + assists -110
Jalen Brunson Knicks Over 24.5 points -120
Jalen Duren Pistons Under 22.5 points -155

It's interesting that Luke Kornet Under 10.5 points + rebounds + assists is the most-bet player prop at BetMGM, as Kornet has gone over this line in two of his last three games. I would lean toward the Over in this spot, with the best odds - Over 10.5 (-125) - also available at BetMGM.


🚀 Knicks vs. Hawks same-game parlay

With just a 1.5-point spread tonight, it's unlikely that either team will win in a rout, so it shouldn't affect payouts drastically if you add one team's moneyline with an Over on a player from the other team. 

Bet365 prices Knicks ML with Alexander-Walker Over 19.5 points at +340 - which I believe is too high of a payout - while FanDuel prices this same two-legger at just +286.

💡 How I'm betting Knicks vs. Hawks

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

I'm allocating 2.22 units for the bets in this article, which is what I would usually risk on two player props.

While I'm confident in both of these bets directionally, they aren't priced too far from where I'd set them. If I thought I had a larger edge, I would risk up to 2.5 units on that bet - or up to 5 units in a once-in-a-year type scenario. I treat 1 unit as 1% of my bankroll.
