Best Jalen Brunson Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
It should be an exciting game between Jalen Brunson’s Knicks and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Bucks. The Knicks are 7-point underdogs against the Bucks with an o/u of 223 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The latest lines for Jalen Brunson against the Bucks on DraftKings Sportsbook are currently o/u 28.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.5 3-pointers.
It has not been an ideal start to the season for Jalen Brunson and the Knicks. They are 3-4 entering this game and Brunson has struggled shooting the basketball so far. Brunson is 85th in the league in FG%, 53rd in offensive rating among starters, and 116th in effective field goal percentage among starters. Brunson’s points prop for this game is 28.5 and he has only cleared that number in two out of seven games this season. With a major new piece like Karl-Anthony Towns and the addition of Mikal Bridges, there was always likely to be an adjustment period for the Knicks. They are in the midst of it.
Karl-Anthony Towns has been the Knicks’ best offensive threat so far this season and Tom Thibodeau should make an effort to get him more shots. Brunson is a great distributor of the basketball but has been focused on his own shot early on this season and it has not gone well. Brunson should look to be more of a distributor in this game against Milwaukee to get the New York offense going. In the two games that Brunson cleared 28.5 points, he had at least 22 shot attempts. He should keep the attempts lower in this game which will also keep him under his points prop of 28.5.
Best Bet: Jalen Brunson u28.5 Points
