Best Jalen Brunson prop bet for Knicks vs. Magic

The New York Knicks return to Madison Square Garden for a critical stretch at home as they prepare to face the Orlando Magic on Monday.

After a grueling schedule on the road, the Knicks will look to snap a two-game skid that followed their nine-game winning streak. As the focal point of New York’s offense, Jalen Brunson will be relied upon to step up and set the tone.

Here’s a featured Brunson prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook to consider for Monday’s game in New York.

Best Jalen Brunson Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jalen Brunson Over 33.5 Points + Assists (-115)

Brunson has been on a tear, averaging 30.8 points, 8.2 assists, and 2.8 rebounds over his last five games. His season averages of 25.4 points and 7.7 assists through 35 games reflect his consistent offensive production, but his recent stretch suggests he’s poised to surpass this combined total against Orlando.

The Knicks’ offense will likely flow through Brunson, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns listed as questionable with a knee injury. Brunson’s ability to break down defenses and create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates makes him a strong candidate to exceed 33.5 combined points and assists.

The Magic, dealing with several injuries to key players like Jalen Suggs, Anthony Black, and Franz Wagner, have struggled to maintain their defensive edge. Orlando dropped a 105-92 decision to the Utah Jazz on Sunday, showing vulnerabilities that Brunson could exploit.

With the Knicks beginning a stretch of 11 home games in their next 13 outings, Brunson’s leadership will be pivotal in helping New York regain momentum, and he will try to set the tone against a shorthanded opponent.

Betting on Brunson to exceed 33.5 combined points and assists reflects his current form and the Knicks’ reliance on him to generate offense. He will likely continue his high-level play as the Knicks seek to bounce back on their home floor.
