Below, I have featured my favorite Jalen Brunson prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Jalen Brunson Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jalen Brunson u25.5 Points (-120)

The Knicks are going to be at full strength for this matchup vs. the Heat with their entire starting lineup healthy. In the 44 games New York has had their starting five available this season, Brunson is averaging 25.2 PPG and his usage has been nearly 1.0 percentage point lower than his season average. The guard has scored less than 26 points in six of the last seven games the Knicks’ starting five has been intact and Sunday presents an ugly matchup vs. the Heat.

Miami ranks 13th in defensive efficiency and 28th in pace this season. Furthermore, the Heat are giving up the fifth-fewest points to point guards in the NBA. The Knicks rank 23rd in pace and this should be a very slow paced contest. Brunson has faced the Heat once this season, which was also a game that New York had their entire starting five healthy and the guard shot 6-of-18 from the field en route to 22 points that night.

25.5 points is too high of a line for Brunson on Sunday and he is a sharp bet for under this number on DraftKings Sportsbook.
