The Knicks look to get back on track when they face the struggling Hawks. On DraftKings Sportsbook, New York is currently a seven-point favorite, with the game’s points total set at 225.
Below, I’ve honed in on my favorite prop bet centered around Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson.
Best Jalen Brunson Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jalen Brunson 30+ Points (+110)
Brunson has had a minor slump from the field, shooting under 40% in three of his last four outings. New York has split those games, but in a loaded Eastern Conference, losing ground even at this juncture is concerning. Brunson is transitioning from a score-first combo guard to a more well-rounded offensive threat, and he has seen his assist numbers take an uptick with the additions of Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns. Brunson is still the offensive hub that wants to hunt his own shot. Everything runs through Brunson, which helps increase the likelihood of monster performances.
Despite the addition of Dyson Daniels, Atlanta’s perimeter defense has been a disaster. They struggle to defend the three-point line and have been susceptible to getting beat on the glass. Even if Brunson is struggling with efficiency, he’s a master at drawing fouls and getting to the charity stripe. Brunson can fill it up in a flash, which is a perfect matchup for him to pile it on. Don’t be shocked if he clears this line before the fourth quarter—he’s that good.
