On Monday’s NBA slate, the Toronto Raptors take on the New York Knicks in a matchup featuring RJ Barrett against his former team. Barrett has been a standout for Toronto this season, making him a great option to consider for player props on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Below, I have featured my favorite RJ Barrett prop bets from this matchup.
Best RJ Barrett Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
RJ Barrett — Over 22.5 Points (-115)
Barrett has been a reliable scorer for the Raptors this season, averaging 23.3 points per game through 21 appearances. He has scored at least 23 points in 10 games, including a recent stretch where he’s averaged 25.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists over his last five games.
Barrett’s offensive production has been boosted by his ability to attack the rim. He ranks third in points scored at the rim this season, trailing only Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis. His blend of physicality and skill makes him a reliable option to bet on for hitting the Over. Against a Knicks defense that struggles to protect the paint without Mitchell Robinson, Barrett could make a significant impact.
This game carries added significance for Barrett as he faces the Knicks, the team that drafted him third overall in 2019. Expect him to showcase his scoring prowess in what could be a statement performance against his former squad.
Toronto enters the game as a +235 underdog, with the Knicks favored by seven points. Barrett’s production will be critical for the Raptors to remain competitive and potentially cover the spread.
