The Knicks take on the Mavericks in Dallas on Wednesday in a cross-conference battle. Here are the best player props to consider for Jalen Brunson on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Jalen Brunson Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Knicks are four-point favorites against the Mavericks with an o/u of 234 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Here are the latest lines for Jalen Brunson on DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 24.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers.
Jalen Brunson takes on his former team on Wednesday night in Dallas. The Knicks are in good form, having won five of their past six games. Brunson is leading this offense and things are really starting to take shape with their new rotation. Brunson has a double-double with points and assists in four of his past five games. Brunson has also been a much more efficient shooter in recent weeks, as Karl-Anthony Towns continues to demand more and more defensive attention. Brunson has started to develop a great connection with Towns and that continues to bolster Brunson’s assist numbers.
The Knicks rank sixth in assists per game as a team, and Brunson ranks eighth in the league in assists per game after his incredible 17-assist performance against Denver last time out. The Mavericks rank 22nd in opponent assists per game, 27th in opponent assists per field goal made and 21st in opponent assists per possession this season. Brunson should be able to attack the paint and dish to Karl-Anthony Towns or to shooters on the perimeter.
Therefore, my favorite prop bet for this game is Brunson to go over 8.5 assists. You can get this prop at plus money, despite the fact that Brunson has cleared this number in four of his past five games, getting exactly eight in the one game where he didn’t clear it. The Knicks have found a lot of offensive success over the past couple of weeks with Brunson being a passer before he is a scorer. Against a Mavericks team that gives up a lot of points and assists, Brunson should keep that trend going.
Best Bet: Jalen Brunson Jalen Brunson o8.5 Assists (+110)
