The Knicks face the Hornets in Charlotte on Black Friday in the NBA Cup. Here are the best player props to consider for Jalen Brunson on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Jalen Brunson Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Knicks are 12.5-point favorites against the Hornets with an o/u of 223 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Here are the latest lines for Jalen Brunson on DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 25.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers.
Jalen Brunson is having another huge season for the Knicks. He ranks 12th in the league in points per game and 8th in assists per game. The Knicks are 10-8 this season and 2-0 so far in the NBA Cup Group Stage. The Knicks would love to make that 3-0 as they face the 6-12 Hornets, who will be without LaMelo Ball for this game. This game is a great opportunity for the Knicks to bounce back from their bad loss against Dallas on Wednesday.
The Hornets are a good matchup for Brunson, especially without LaMelo Ball. They rank 19th in the league in defensive rating and 19th in opponent-effective field goal percentage. They also rank 16th in assists allowed per game, which is where Brunson thrives. The connection he has developed with Karl-Anthony Towns in such a short amount of time is strong and he should be able to capitalize on that in this matchup to get points on the board for himself and his teammates.
Brunson is averaging 33.5 points + assist per game this season, the tenth-best mark in the league. Fittingly, his points + assists prop is 33.5 for this game. I am betting on Brunson to go over this number against Charlotte. The Knicks need a good bounce back game and this is the perfect spot for the Knicks to run up the score a bit and move to 3-0 in the NBA Cup. Brunson has gone over this number in four of his past five games, and he should keep up that momentum and clear it again against Charlotte on Black Friday.
Best Bet: Jalen Brunson o33.5 Points + Assists (-110)
