Knicks alt spread -9.5 (+164) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’re starting our +800 three-leg SGP with an alternate spread on the Knicks.

New York beat Toronto by 22 points on Nov. 30, easily covering as an 8.5-point favorite. While I understand why the Knicks are listed as just 5-point favorites today (with Karl-Anthony Towns questionable and the venue change), the Raptors should be downgraded more aggressively after losing three straight and failing to cover seven in a row.

Mikal Bridges Over 3.5 rebounds (-134) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I break down the reasoning behind this play in my Knicks vs. Raptors player props.

Mikal Bridges has cashed this prop in nine of his last 10 games, and with our game script projecting a Knicks rout today, he should have plenty of chances to collect defensive rebounds as Toronto misses shots. DraftKings is also pricing these bets as if they aren’t correlated, which adds to the value.

Jamal Shead 8+ points (+113) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’re projecting a double-digit Knicks win and Bridges to go Over his rebounding prop as Toronto misses shots, so it makes sense for the final leg to feature a Raptors bench player going Over his points prop.

Jamal Shead should see increased minutes if the starters struggle to stay competitive. The last time the Raptors lost by double digits - a home game against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday - Shead scored nine points in 21 minutes.

Some of the best sports betting sites are pricing this parlay at +600 odds, so grab the value at DraftKings while you can.
