💰 Best Mavericks vs. Knicks prop bet: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 rebounds (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Towns has been a monster on the boards for the Knicks lately, and with Anthony Davis out today, he should have no trouble cashing this prop.
The Knicks center has grabbed 12 or more rebounds in seven of his last 13 games, including a huge 20-rebound outing against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. He grabbed 14 rebounds against the Mavericks when they played on Nov. 19, and with Davis out of the lineup again, Towns’ stat line should look pretty similar.
🔥 More Mavericks vs. Knicks prop picks
Naji Marshall Over 15.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Marshall has scored 22 or more points in three of his last four games, and with 11 players on Dallas’ injury report today, he should easily reach 16 or more.
He has stepped up on offense this month as the Mavericks continue to deal with key injuries. He is averaging 16.6 points per game in January and has attempted 14 or more shots in four straight games. With Dallas’ top three scorers - Davis, Cooper Flagg, and P.J. Washington - either out or questionable today, Marshall should have no trouble exceeding this number as the team’s potential No. 1 option.
Mikal Bridges Over 15.5 points (-125) ⭐⭐⭐
With Jalen Brunson questionable today, Bridges has an opportunity to continue putting up big numbers, as he scored 18 or more points in three of his last four games.
Bridges scored 16 points against Dallas when these teams met on Nov. 19 - and that was with Brunson in the lineup, attempting a team-high 23 shots. With Brunson not at 100 percent today - and potentially not even playing - it's safe to assume that Bridges will attempt 14 or more shots and score 16 or more points.
