Best Jalen Brunson Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Knicks and Nets are battling in the group stage of the NBA Cup on Friday night. The Knicks are 9.5-point favorites against the Nets with an o/u of 216 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The latest lines for Jalen Brunson against the Nets on DraftKings Sportsbook are o/u 26.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 2.5 3-pointers.
Jalen Brunson had a game-winner rim out against the Bulls and should come into this NBA Cup matchup against his cross-city rivals with a chip on his shoulder. Things have been a bit shaky for the Knicks to start the season and this is a chance for them to get right. They had a pretty comfortable win over the 76ers in their first NBA Cup game earlier in the week and they are 9.5-point favorites over the Nets for a reason. The Nets are 24th in the NBA in defensive rating; things may get even worse now that Nic Claxton is sidelined. The Knicks should be able to score on them and that starts with Brunson.
Brunson has been inconsistent from a scoring perspective but he has been dishing it recently. He is averaging eight assists per game across his past four games. Brunson has also been hitting the boards, averaging four rebounds per game over his past three games. The Nets are 24th in the league in rebounding percentage, while the Knicks are 11th in the same category. The Knicks should be able to dominate on the glass and that includes Brunson.
I wanted to bet on Brunson to clear his assists prop and his rebounds prop on this game so why not bet him to total o10.5 rebounds and assists at plus-money odds? Brunson has hit this in three of his past four games and four of his past six games. Against an inferior opponent like Brooklyn, Brunson should take out some frustration from Wednesday night’s loss to Chicago and have a really good showing.
Best Bet: Jalen Brunson o10.5 Rebounds + Assists (+115)
