The Knicks host the Hawks in the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup. These are the best Karl-Anthony Towns player props to consider on DraftKings Sportsbook if he plays.
Best Karl-Anthony Towns Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Knicks are 8-point favorites against the Hawks with an o/u of 237.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Here are the latest lines for Karl-Anthony Towns on DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 26.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers.
Karl-Anthony Towns is having a great start to his Knicks career. He is 12th in the league in scoring and 2nd in rebounding. He has quickly formed a partnership with Jalen Brunson. This duo has the Knicks playing really well at the moment. They have won five of their past six games, sit 4th in the Eastern Conference, and are in the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup. The Knicks went undefeated in the NBA Cup group stage and now face the Hawks in the quarterfinals with a spot against the Bucks in the semifinals on the line.
Towns is having a great season, but his scoring has dropped off over the past couple of weeks, while his rebounding has increased. After averaging 26.8 PPG and 13.1 RPG in November, Towns is now averaging 22.0 PPG and 16.3 RPG in December. Whether it is a coaching decision to use him in different ways or just a natural adjustment, Towns is focusing on other areas of his game more than he is on scoring. A big increase in scoring from Mikal Bridges could be a contributing factor there. Bridges had a slow start to his Knicks tenure, but after averaging 14.7 PPG in November, Bridges is averaging 22.4 PPG so far in December.
The Knicks have done a great job of sharing the wealth in recent weeks, seeing a decrease in points per game from Jalen Brunson, in addition to Towns. Looking at their last NBA Cup group stage game against the Magic, OG Anunony, Brunson, Bridges and Towns all had between 18 and 23 points. The Knicks are distributing the ball well and not relying on one player to have a monster game to get them wins. Towns has scored under 26.5 points in five of his past six games, scoring 27 points in the one game where he went over that total. KAT is shooting fewer threes than he did earlier in the season and with the way the Knicks are sharing the basketball, he should stay under his points prop of 26.5.
Best Bet: Karl-Anthony Towns u26.5 Points (-120)
