The Knicks take on the Jazz in Utah on Saturday in a cross-conference battle. Here are the best player props to consider for Jalen Brunson on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Jalen Brunson Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Knicks are 9-point favorites against the Jazz with an o/u of 233 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The latest lines for Jalen Brunson against the Jazz on DraftKings Sportsbook are o/u 27.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 3.5 3-pointers.
The Knicks have won four straight games entering this matchup against the Jazz and that run is partially due to the offensive explosions from Jalen Brunson in recent games. Brunson had an incredible 36 points and 10 assists against the Suns earlier this week to make it three straight double-doubles for the Knicks star. The Knicks also had a rare three days off between the Suns game and this game against the Jazz. That extra rest should have the Knicks refreshed and ready to keep their winning streak going against a struggling Jazz team.
While the Knicks are on a four-game winning streak, the Jazz are on a four-game losing streak entering this game. They are struggling on both sides of the floor. Lauri Markkanen is the Jazz’s leading scorer but he ranks 44th in the league in scoring. The lack of an elite offensive threat has held the team back, and it doesn’t help that they have also struggled on defense. The Jazz currently rank 28th out of 30 teams in defensive rating. Meanwhile, Brunson ranks 10th among qualified players in offensive rating. Brunson should be able to attack this Jazz defense and create a lot of chances for the Knicks.
My favorite prop bet for this game is Brunson to go over 7.5 assists. His scoring has been up and down, some nights exploding for 36 like he did against Phoenix, some only scoring 12 points like he did against Brooklyn on Sunday. However, one thing that has been consistent over this stretch is his distribution. Brunson has double-digit assists in three straight games and has cleared this 7.5 assists number in six of his past eight games. Against a poor defensive team, Brunson should attack the paint and be able to dish to his teammates for easy baskets.
Best Bet: Jalen Brunson o7.5 Assists (-110)
