Jalen Brunson Over 30.5 points (-107) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brunson has been an absolute dawg in the regular season, and won't be denied tonight in the NBA Cup finals. The Knicks superstar has gone over this number in three of his last four games, and will likely be on the floor for closer to 40 minutes tonight after averaging 37 this month, giving him plenty of opportunities to score more than 30. Expect Brunson also to exceed his monthly average of 20 shots per game and get to the free-throw line plenty as the Knicks look to close out a successful tournament (and win the prize money in the process).

Victor Wembanyama Over 21.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Expect Wemby to play more than the 21 minutes he produced off the bench against the Thunder in the NBA Cup semifinal. Even doing so, he poured in 22 points against the best defense in basketball on an efficient 6-for-11 shooting night. Three more days to rest and recover should see the Frenchmen back in the starting lineup, and should see us fly over this number.

De'Aaron Fox Over 3.5 rebounds (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fox may not be the guy you first think of when rebounds come to mind, but he's been playing a solid two-way game for a while now. He's gone over this number in five of six games this month, and even with Wembanyama returning to a more full-time role, I expect him to grab at least four boards one more time.

🚑 Will Victor Wembanyama play in NBA Cup final?

Although San Antonio hasn’t released an official injury report for Tuesday’s NBA Cup Final at the time of writing, Victor Wembanyama is expected to suit up. That said, his role remains uncertain, as it’s still unclear whether he’ll be in the starting lineup.

He came off the bench in his return from injury during the Spurs' win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Cup quarterfinals on Saturday.
