The Warriors continue their road trip to the East Coast with a stop at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night to take on the Knicks. Golden State is on the second night of a back-to-back after beating the Hornets on Monday. Meanwhile, the Knicks are back in action after Monday off but have a back-to-back later this week. It should be a great matchup between two teams in playoff position. The Knicks are currently third in the Eastern Conference, while the Warriors are sixth in the West. In what should be a fun game to watch at MSG, let’s take a look at my top three Warriors vs. Knicks prop bets from the player prop market on DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Knicks are 5.5-point home favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook in this matchup, which has a point total of 227.5. The Warriors listed Stephen Curry (ankle) as questionable due to ankle soreness and the Knicks listed Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) as questionable as well.
Best Prop Bets for Warriors vs. Knicks on DraftKings Sportsbook
Draymond Green over 22.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)
Green has meshed very nicely in the new rotation next to Jimmy Butler. He has gone over this mark in eight straight games, averaging 12.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.6 assists in 29.6 minutes per game.
Green smashed past this number on Monday with 35 PRA and has over 25 PRA in each of his last four games. The only real cause for concern is that it is the second game in a row. He did play one back-to-back during his successful stretch and had 25 PRA on the road in Houston.
In his 11 career games at Madison Square Garden, Green has averaged 10.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists, and he has gotten at least 23 PRA in four of his last five games in New York.
Jalen Brunson 30+ points (+135)
Brunson has scored at least 34 points in each of the Knicks’ last five home games, and with Towns potentially away from the team, Brunson may have to carry even more of the scoring load.
He had 31 points on Sunday in the Knicks’ overtime win in Miami and 34 points last Wednesday in his most recent home game.
Brunson is averaging 26.1 points per game this. season, but that number has risen to 28 over his last 11 games. In his six games without Towns, he’s averaging 31.7 points per game. While this is a stretch above his average, he should have a better chance of reaching it with or without Towns in this matchup.
Brandin Podziemski over 1.5 three-pointers (-145)
Podziemski is averaging 1.4 three-pointers in his 48 games this season, but over his last 18 games since returning from injury, he’s averaged 1.9 three-pointers. During that span, he has hit multiple three-pointers in 67% of those games with 3+ in 28% of those matchups.
Against the Hornets on Monday, he hit four threes and finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Especially if Curry is out or limited at all, Podziemski could be set up for a big night. He is +195 to hit 3+ three-pointers if you’re feeling frisky, but I think he’s a very solid play to hit at least two threes in this matchup against the Knicks.
