<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNBA Player Props Best Bet #1: Jalen Brunson (NYK) Over 32.5 Points + Assists (-125)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Knicks are hanging on by a hair in the Atlantic Division race as they\u2019ll need to win their final three games along with the Celtics losing their final three games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These two go head to head at MSG tonight as we\u2019ll look for Jalen Brunson to go over 32.5 points + assists. In three head-to-head meetings with Boston this season Brunson has averaged 33.7 points + assists and has averaged 34.1 points + assists over his last six games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s worth noting that going into this matchup Boston has a few key defenders listed as questionable in Jaylen Brown, Neemias Queta and Derrick White and if one or more of those guys are out or limited, it should open up Brunson more on the offensive end to facilitate and score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Celtics did just allow 42 points + assists to Charlotte point guard LaMelo Ball with Jalen Brunson averaging 37.5 points + assists per 40 minutes this season and is coming off a 43 points + assists effort in a 108-105 win at Atlanta as we could see Brunson getting close to 40 minutes again with the division on the line and the team not playing since Monday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s look for Brunson to be a play maker for the Knicks once again tonight going over 32.5 points + assists<\/strong> at home against arch rival Celtics on Thursday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Toronto wants to avoid the play-in they must keep stacking wins as they play the second of back-to-back games at home against the Heat tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We expect Jakob Poeltl to have another efficient performance tonight taking him over 19.5 points + rebounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Miami has given up the third most points to centers over the last 15 days with Poeltl putting up 23 points + rebounds in Tuesday\u2019s game and is averaging 19.3 points + rebounds across his last four games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n His 13 field goal attempts were the most he\u2019s had in a game since he put up 14 shots back on March 20 and he\u2019s shooting 69% through four games this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the all-star break the Raptors center has been putting it together averaging 19.2 points + rebounds per game compared to just 17.3 points + rebounds in games before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dating back to late 2024 in his last five games against the Heat Poeltl has averaged 24.2 points + rebounds per game so let\u2019s take him to have another solid game at home tonight going over 19.5 points + rebounds<\/strong> as we should see a much more competitive contest between the two teams tonight.
