💰 Best Knicks vs. Thunder prop bet
Ajay Mitchell Over 11.5 points (-109)
Ajay Mitchell's Sixth Man of the Year odds campaign ended due to injury earlier this year, but he's proving his worth off the bench during the home stretch of the season.
Mitchell has played eight games since returning from injury. He's averaging 14.1 points while clearing this scoring prop five times. Mitchell is also averaging 25.3 minutes and 11.1 field-goal attempts per contest.
Most of all, this scoring line has closed as high as 14.5 over that span. This is the second-lowest total since his return on March 9, and there isn't a logical reason for it.
🔥 More Knicks vs. Thunder prop picks
Mitchell Robinson Over 7.5 rebounds (-112)
I'm counting on an inspired performance from Knicks center Mitchell Robinson, who called out his team (including himself) after a loss to the Charlotte Hornets. And crashing the glass is the best way for Robinson to make an impact.
Robinson is averaging 8.8 rebounds per game this season. He's cleared this line in 60.7% of his 56 games this year, and the Knicks will need to use a two-big lineup to compete with the Thunder's physicality. However, Oklahoma City ranks 22nd in rebounds allowed.
This same ticket costs as much as -141 at Caesars, highlighting the value at FanDuel.
🚀 Knicks vs. Thunder same-game parlay
In addition to my two favorite player props, I've included the Thunder's moneyline value for this game's parlay. That's because the Knicks are much worse on the road, going 20-17 away from Madison Square Garden. I'd be surprised if they fare much better against the defending champions.

💡 How I'm betting Knicks vs. Thunder
Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
We've reached the point in the NBA regular season when I'm a bit more cautious with my bankroll. Betting lines have become more efficient, and there aren't too many games in which both teams are trying to win.
This is a rare NBA Finals preview in late March, so I've opted to bet on a couple of players who could prove to be difference makers in their respective roles. Teams are trying to figure out their playoff rotations, and Mitchell and Robinson will prove why they belong in the mix during tonight's showdown.
