After another career year with the Knicks last season, there is a lot of anticipation for what Jalen Brunson will achieve in his 2024-25 campaign. He averaged 28.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists last season.
Here are some intriguing player props for Brunson on DraftKings Sportsbook against the Celtics:
Best Jalen Brunson Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The latest lines for Jalen Brunson against the Celtics on DraftKings Sportsbook are 28.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists. The expectations are high, and he’s in a solid position to exceed them.
Last season, Brunson averaged 27.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists against the Celtics. He must comfortably exceed these figures to hit the Over in these categories. The odds for points are -110 for the Over and -120 for the Under. For bettors confident in Brunson stuffing the stat sheet, you can get the Over for 3.5 rebounds at +100 and Over for 7.5 assists at +100.
The Knicks will be working through integrating Karl-Anthony Towns into their offense for the first time in regular-season action in this game. Only time will tell how seamless that proves to be, but Towns’ shooting presence should help open up driving lanes for Brunson.
Another potential option is Brunson’s head-to-head prop betting options stacked with Jayson Tatum’s stats for this game. Brunson is favored to score 0.5 points more than Tatum at -120. Another option is the line for their combined scoring totals, which is set at 54.5 at -125 for the Over and -110 for the Under.
