NBA Playoffs Player Prop Top Pick for Knicks vs. Hawks Game 5

Atlanta Hawks vs. New York Knicks

The Knicks will look to get a pivotal Game 5 win at Madison Square Garden as a sizable home favorite in a 2-2 series. I lean to New York to get the job done, but feel we have a stronger bet by going to the player props. OG Anunoby has been terrific in the series, and is only improving as the games go on. He’s averaging over 20 points in the series to go with no fewer than eight rebounds in any game.

Anunoby is 3-1 to the over on his Points + Rebounds prop, including finishing with 38 combined in Game 3 and 32 combined in Game 4. OG has played at least 37 minutes in each game this series, and I wouldn’t expect that to change in the most critical game yet. I’ll back Anunoby to continue to produce as a scorer and rebounding in Game 5 at MSG.
