The New York Knicks kept their season alive behind a dominant Game 5 showing from Jalen Brunson and now head to Indianapolis with momentum and urgency.
As the Knicks face elimination again in Saturday’s Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Brunson’s production remains critical. His prop line at DraftKings Sportsbook offers value for bettors expecting another all-around performance.

Over 41.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)
Brunson dropped 32 points with five rebounds and five assists in Game 5 as the Knicks staved off elimination with a 111-94 win. He’s now averaged 33.0 points, 5.4 assists, and 2.6 rebounds through five games in the Eastern Conference Finals — putting him in a strong position to go over this combined line.
Brunson made a clear effort to set the tone early in Game 5, scoring 14 in the first quarter and helping New York build a lead it never gave up.
“We were just able to get stops early, run, we were able to convert, and we just found a way,” Brunson said. “We played to our standards.”
The Knicks will need another big performance from their leader in Saturday’s must-win Game 6 on the road. His postseason usage remains sky-high, and his ability to attack mismatches or draw doubles continues to generate consistent scoring and playmaking volume. He’s logged at least 38 minutes in every game this series.
“Our backs are against the wall,” Brunson said. “That’s always my mindset when I’m on the court — just striving to help the team secure a win.”
With the Knicks looking to force Game 7, expect Brunson to stay aggressive from the jump. He’s cleared this line in three of five games this series and has shown the ability to reach it with scoring alone. Given the context and his playoff track record, this over is a strong value play.
