NBA Props Picks for Thursday: Jalen Brunson New York Knicks OVER 35.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)

Jalen Brunson has covered this line in 9 of his last 13 games including a 46 PRA effort in his last game on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Brunson has also thrived in head-to-head matchups against the Boston Celtics with 39+ PRAs in 2 of 3 games.

The Celtics have allowed the highest pull up frequency during the last 10 games and Brunson has cleared this line in 9/12 games when facing teams ranked bottom 5 in pull up defense.

Brunson has seen amazing seen amazing volume against bottom 5 pull up defense with the Knicks being at full strength as he’s averaged over 22 field goal attempts per game.

Including rebounds & assists makes sense as Boston has allowed a top 5 assist rate to high usage guards and they take a ton of three that lead to boards for guards like Brunson.

The Celtics are only favored by -4.5 so we should avoid a blowout while Brunson looks to put on a show for the crowd at MSG. 

NBA Props Picks for Thursday: Scottie Barnes Toronto Raptors OVER 25.5 Points + Rebounds (-105)

Scottie Barnes just crushed this line against the Miami Heat with 33 PR (25 Pts & 8 Reb) on Tuesday and he’s now recorded 27+ PR in all three head-to-head matchups this season while averaging 31.7 PR per game.

Immanuel Quickley has returned from injury and Barnes has posted an average of 26.4 PR per game with him active compared to only 21.5 PR with him in the sidelines.

The Heat have allowed the 4th most PR to opposing power forwards with an average of 34.2 per game. We have seen similar players have success against Miami recently including Brandon Ingram (29), Will Riley (36), Jayson Tatum (43), Pascal Siakam (41) and Lebron James (34).

Barnes has solid rebounding upside as he’s averaged 17 rebound chances per game against a heat team that ranks #1 in pace of play.

He’s also performed better at home where he’s cleared this line in 64% of his games while averaging 26.8 PR per game compared to only 24.7 on the road.

This is a critical game for both sides as they fight for play-in positioning and we have a spread of only -3.5 so Barnes should see his full share of minutes & usage.
