💰 Best Knicks vs. Hawks prop bet
The Knicks have the sixth-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.
Mikal Bridges Under 2.5 rebounds (-162)
This prop has hit in every game this series and has cashed in eight straight. Among Knicks players, Bridges ranks 2nd-last in rebound chance percentage in the playoffs (41.2%), which is a problem, since he sees just 3.4 rebound chances per game.
His diminishing role makes this even more appealing. Bridges has logged 27 or fewer minutes in three straight after playing 32+ in Games 1 and 2. If the coaching staff isn't playing Bridges, I'm not playing his Overs. FanDuel has his Under at -162, but this bet is good up to -190 on the best sports betting sites.

CJ McCollum Under 19.5 points (-126)
I was playing McCollum Over 18.5 points to begin this series, but New York is going out of its way to get the ball out of his hands now. He's attempted 15 or fewer shots in back-to-back games and is coming off a 6-point performance in Game 5.
The Knicks are 2-0 when McCollum shoots 15 or fewer shots, so expect them to pressure him again and make someone else on Atlanta step up. McCollum Under 19.5 points is -126 at DraftKings, but I'd play this up to -140 on the best sports betting apps.
🚀 Knicks vs. Hawks same-game parlay
There's a correlation between Bridges struggling to rebound and the Hawks playing above expectations, so there's decent value on this parlay at this price. Bet365 offers this SGP at +250, while FanDuel lists it at just +214.

💡 How I'm betting Knicks vs. Hawks: NBA Playoffs Game 6 strategy
I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here. Bridges has been a disappointment for the Knicks and has played fewer minutes over the last three games, so it's reasonable to assume that his Unders have value (up to a certain price). The Knicks are also known to underperform - remember when they lost to the Pacers last year? - so I could see this series going longer than it should, in typical New York fashion.
