🏀 Thunder vs. Knicks Player Props Today: Karl-Anthony Towns Best Bet for March 4
Two of the top five teams in the NBA this season meet today as the Oklahoma City Thunder visit the New York Knicks, with tipoff from Madison Square Garden in New York set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN).
The Thunder are a 4-point betting favorite over the Knicks, with both teams on the second night of a back-to-back. The Thunder beat the Bulls on Tuesday in Chicago, while the Knicks defeated the Raptors in Toronto. My Thunder vs. Knicks player props today target Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, Knicks guard Mikal Bridges, and Thunder guard Cason Wallace, with my best bet focusing on Towns' assists prop.

Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Karl-Anthony Towns Under 2.5 assists (-140)
Towns has been more selfish coming out of the All-Star break, recording two or fewer assists in five of seven games in that span.
He has cashed this prop in five of his last six games, and while he recorded six assists against the Raptors in Toronto, he had dished out a total of just two assists in his two previous games entering Tuesday. BetMGM has Towns Under 2.5 assists at -140, but I would still play it at any of the best sports betting sites up to -155.
π₯ More Thunder vs. Knicks prop picks
The Thunder are the betting favorite to win the NBA Finals.
Cason Wallace Over 9.5 points (+100)
Wallace scored 17 points against the Bulls on Tuesday and has cashed this prop in five of his last six games.
While most of those games were without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the lineup, I don't expect Gilgeous-Alexander to be very productive today as he deals with an abdominal strain. An injured Gilgeous-Alexander means more touches for Wallace. BetMGM lists Wallace Over 9.5 points at even money, but this bet is good up to -110.
Mikal Bridges Under 13.5 points (-108)
Bridges has struggled out of the All-Star break, scoring 11 or fewer points in five of seven games during that stretch.
He's coming off an 11-point performance against the Raptors on Tuesday, when he attempted just seven shots from the field, including two from beyond the arc. This offense is pretty much just Jalen Brunson and Towns at this point. Bridges Under 13.5 points is -108 at FanDuel, but I would still play it up to -115 at any of the best NBA betting sites.

π‘ How I'm betting Thunder vs. Knicks
My bankroll strategy is to treat 1 unit as 1% of the money I have set aside solely for sports betting. Iβve allocated 2.94 units for this game, which is slightly less than I would usually bet on three player props.
The reason for the lower risk is that Bridges' points prop isnβt far from where I would price it, though I still like the bet directionally. I expect this to be a close, low-scoring game tonight, with both teams a little gassed on the second night of a back-to-back.
