The Knicks take on the Suns in Phoenix on Wednesday night. Here are the best player props to consider for Jalen Brunson on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Jalen Brunson Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Knicks and Suns are going head-to-head in Phoenix in a great cross-conference clash. The Knicks are 5-point favorites against the Suns with an o/u of 224 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The latest lines for Jalen Brunson against the Nets on DraftKings Sportsbook are o/u 26.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 2.5 3-pointers.
Jalen Brunson and the Knicks are on a good run, having won three straight games heading into this one. This should be a great clash with Devin Booker and the Suns who need a win, having lost four straight games ahead of this matchup. There was a bit of an adjustment period to start the year for the Knicks with the departure of Julius Randle, the addition of Karl Anthony-Towns, and the injury to Mitchell Robinson, but Brunson is really starting to settle in and the team is winning because of it.
Brunson is in the top 15 in the NBA in both points per game and assists per game. Brunson is mixing big-scoring performances with heavy-assist nights to make himself difficult to defend. Brunson has double-digit assists in two of his past three games but has also registered 26 or more points in two of those three games. Because of this trend, Brunson’s points + assists prop is the best way to back him in this game against Phoenix.
The Suns are 19th in the league in defensive rating and rank 20th in opponent points in the paint per game. Teams are getting into the paint and scoring with ease against Phoenix, which is good news for Brunson. Brunson wants to drive to the basket and draw fouls or hit a floater. Brunson also wants to hit Karl-Anthony Towns cutting to the basket when the defensive attention focuses on him. Phoenix ranks 17th in opponent assists per game so Brunson should find success making the right passes and feeding his teammates. Therefore, I am backing Brunson to go over his points + assists prop of 34.5.
Best Bet: Jalen Brunson o34.5 Points + Assists (-110)
