After two thrilling wins on the road, the New York Knicks head back to Madison Square Garden with a firm 2-0 series lead over the Boston Celtics in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. These Knicks are electric, showing up when the lights are brightest to stun the basketball world as a feisty underdog — albeit with more star power than in postseason runs past.
Karl-Anthony Towns hasn’t really performed up to par compared to his regular-season dominance, but it hasn’t really mattered as New York’s team efforts keep getting the job done. As he looks to step up this afternoon, here’s the top Karl-Anthony Towns prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for today’s Knicks vs. Celtics Game 3 ahead of the 3:30 p.m. EST tip-off.
Best Karl-Anthony Towns prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Towns’ prop betting lines at 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line sits at 32.5 across the board.
The Knicks do hold a 2-0 lead in this series after a couple of last-second wins, but they still enter Game 3 as +210 underdogs on the Moneyline in this contest. As a +6 dog, New York might have a chip on their shoulder once more. As for the game total, it sits at 207.5.
Across eight games in these NBA Playoffs, KAT averages 19.1 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists. His numbers are down from the regular season, but the big man maintains a fittingly-large role. He’s notched a double-double in each of his last four games and has five across his eight postseason matchups.
There’s value aplenty for bettors interested in Towns’ prop bet markets. For those who think he has another big night on the boards, over 10.5 rebounds is available at a safe -140 odds. Towns has pulled down at least 11 boards in four straight contests, and he’s done it five times over this playoff run thus far. With three games of 13 or more rebounds, taking Big Bodega to record 13+ rebounds is another heady play at +155 odds in the alt market. Of course, he’s a threat to lead the game on the glass any given night. The odds of KAT bringing in the most boards in Game 3 sit at +120.
For those who don’t want to smash KAT’s rebounding lines like I do, there’s also value in over 1.5 three-pointers at +154 odds. While taking away Towns as a threat from beyond the arc clearly looks like a point of emphasis for the Celtics’ defense, it’s unlikely he goes another game with minimal volume from deep. He’s one of the best shooting big men of all time, so he could easily knock a couple long-distance shots down tonight.
