Best Jalen Brunson Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Knicks are 11.5-point favorites against the Raptors, with an o/u of 231.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Here are the latest lines for Jalen Brunson on DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 27.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers.
After an incredible month of December, the Knicks have hit a cold streak to start the new year. The Knicks went 13-2 in December, including a nine-game winning streak to end 2024. The Knicks already have more losses in eight days of January than they did in all of December, starting the new year on a three-game losing streak. The Knicks blew a fourth-quarter lead to the Thunder, had a terrible defensive performance against the Bulls, and then had a no-show offensive performance against the Magic. Now, they face a Raptors team that sits second-to-last in the Eastern Conference. Hosting the Raptors in New York should be the perfect chance for Jalen Brunson and the Knicks to get back on track.
Jalen Brunson should be a distributor in this game. Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable for this game and if he misses out, Brunson will be in full control of the offense. The Raptors rank 26th in defensive rating and 21st in opponent assists per game. The Knicks’ offense has been at its best this season when Jalen Brunson puts up high assist numbers. Against a Toronto team that plays bad defense, Brunson should be able to get into the lane and kick to his teammates for easy buckets. Brunson is averaging 7.6 assists per game this season, the seventh-highest mark in the league. He has 7+ assists in seven of his past ten games and should hit that number again in this one where the Knicks need a good win.
My favorite bet for this game is a same-game parlay bet on Brunson to have at least seven assists, but to go under 3.5 rebounds as well. Brunson has only had more than three rebounds in one of his past 11 games. Karl-Anthony Towns is the Knicks’ leading rebounder by a wide margin, but even when he missed the Knicks’ last game against the Magic, Brunson still only had three rebounds. With Towns missing, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges and the Knicks’ backup big men share the rebounds that usually go to Towns. In his past ten games, Brunson has stayed under this rebounds number nine times and hit this assists number seven times. So, getting this SGP at +120 is a great way to bet on Jalen Brunson and the Knicks tonight.
Best Bet: Same Game Parlay- Jalen Brunson u3.5 Rebounds, 7+ Assists (+120)
