On Saturday evening, the New York Knicks work to keep their season alive as they travel to Indiana for Game 6 against the Pacers. The Knicks show plenty of grit, especially with Mikal Bridges making up an elite combo of defensive-minded wings. He’s got to step his game up tonight for his team’s title hopes to remain alive, though.
Here’s the top Mikal Bridges prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Knicks vs. Pacers Game 6 on Saturday night.
Best Mikal Bridges prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Knicks are four-point underdogs in tonight’s contest with +145 odds to win outright on the Moneyline. The opposing Pacers are -175 on the Moneyline with a game total of 221.5 combined points.
Bridges’ prop lines on DraftKings Sportsbook are set at 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line sits at 22.5.
In the playoffs so far, Bridges averages 15.6 points along with 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per contest. He contributes a little bit in every category, including blocks and steals with 0.9 and 1.7 per outing, respectively.
With that in mind, we’re actually targeting Bridges’ steals prop in this one. It would be very simple to take over 0.5 at -220 odds, but we’re going to chase some greater value with an alt line. Bettors can grab 2+ steals for Bridges at +195 odds, providing a nice payout. Since he’s logged nine games with multiple steals in 17 playoff appearances so far, this feels like some really good value for a prop which has hit over 50% of the time in this sample.
Bridges makes his impact known on the defensive side more than in the offensive columns, so this looks like one of the top ways to make the most of his talent on tonight’s betting cards.
