Knicks vs. Pistons Player Props Tonight | NBA Player Prop Bets for Monday, Jan. 5

Two of the best teams in basketball go head-to-head tonight, and I'm dropping my Knicks vs. Pistons player props to help build your bankroll.

Tipoff from Little Caesars Arena in Detroit is set for 7 p.m. ET (Peacock), with the Knicks entering as a 2.5-point betting favorite. I’m expecting a big game from Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Cade Cunningham in a matchup that should feature plenty of offensive fireworks.

Jalen Brunson Over 29.5 points (-106) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brunson has gone over this number in four of his last seven games, losing once on the hook and another with 28 points. Yes, Brunson is one of the most aggressive shooters in the league, averaging 22 shots per game. With this game likely turning into a shootout with a total set at 232.5, I'm expecting Brunson to pour in 30 and to set the tone early. Ride him as part of my best Knicks vs. Pistons player props tonight.

Karl Anthony-Towns Over 35.5 PRA (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

KAT is a rebounding freak, there's no way around it. He's registered double-digit boards in seven of his last nine games, which should be enough - along with his vision - to put us over this number. Detroit owns a 116.7 defensive rating, good for 16th in the league, providing KAT with enough space to cash this Over for us.

Cade Cunningham Under 27.5 points (-112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cunningham has lost on the hook at this number in three of his last four games and I don't see him getting close tonight while going up against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. The Knicks own a second-best 112.3 defensive rating and will force the Pistons' offense elsewhere. Don't be surprised if we see a ton of doubles in this one.
