The Knicks take on the Nets on Tuesday night in Brooklyn. Here are the best player props to consider for Karl-Anthony Towns on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Karl-Anthony Towns Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Knicks are 11.5-point favorites against the Nets, with a total of 218.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Here are the latest prop bet lines for Karl-Anthony Towns: o/u 22.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers.
Karl-Anthony Towns made his return from injury on Monday night against the Hawks. Towns had missed back-to-back games but played 37 minutes against Atlanta. The Knicks picked up a much-needed win in that game and are looking to get a winning streak going after a bad start to the new year. The Knicks are now 4-4 in the month of January. They can start to build some momentum with a win over the Nets. Brooklyn has lost eight of their past nine games, and are struggling to compete with anybody at the moment. The Knicks are 2-0 against the Nets this season, and they are big favorites to win this game as well.
Towns has been one of the best players in the league this season. He is 13th in the NBA in points per game and 2nd in rebounds per game. Towns and Brunson have become a dynamic duo, and when they are both on the court, the Knicks are hard to defend. They should be able to dismantle this Brooklyn defense, which has a lot of issues. Brooklyn ranks 25th in defensive rating and 30th in opponent effective field goal percentage. The Knicks should be able to get easy looks against Brooklyn and have an efficient shooting performance in this game.
My favorite prop bet is for Towns to make over 1.5 three-pointers. Towns has hit two or more threes in four of his past six games. He is shooting 44.7% from three so far in the month of January, and he should continue to shoot well in this game. The Nets rank dead last in the NBA in opponent three-point shooting percentage, allowing 38% of opponent threes to be made. Towns should be able to stretch the floor and get some easy looks against this poor Brooklyn defense. Towns is attempting 4.8 threes per game in January. With the open looks he’ll be getting, he should hit at least two of those and cash this prop bet tonight.
