The New York Knicks look to take care of business on the road Thursday night, taking on the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 at State Farm Arena.
After falling behind two games to one, New York steamrolled Atlanta in Games 4 and 5 to stake itself to a 3–2 lead in the best-of-seven playoff series. With their opponent on the ropes, the Knicks will lean heavily on superstar point guard Jalen Brunson to deliver the knockout blow.
Tipoff is set for 7:10 p.m. ET. New York enters as a 2.5-point road favorite with -155 moneyline odds. Atlanta counters as a +130 underdog, with the game total set at 213.5 points.
Ahead of Game 6, let’s dive into the top Jalen Brunson prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Jalen Brunson Prop Bet for Knicks vs. Hawks Game 6
Jalen Brunson Over 34.5 Points + Assists (-111)
Atlanta had no answer for Jalen Brunson in Game 5. The Knicks captain erupted for 39 points (15–23 FG, 3–5 3PT) and eight assists — 47 P+A — to fuel a commanding 126–97 victory at Madison Square Garden.
It was his third performance of the series with more than 34.5 combined points and assists, including Game 1 (35) and Game 2 (36). Brunson, 29, added to his regular-season total of 34 games clearing the prop line, which included two of three matchups with the Hawks.
Delivering in big moments is nothing new to last season’s Clutch Player of the Year. Brunson has averaged 29.7 points and 6.7 assists — 36.4 P+A — across 47 career playoff games with New York.
With a chance to close out the series Thursday night, expect “Captain Clutch” to have his hands all over Game 6.
