The New York Knicks will attempt to secure their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals when they visit the Indiana Pacers Friday in Game 6. The Knicks lead the series 3-2 and will attempt to become the first team in this matchup to win a road game. New York has been operating with a shorter rotation due to injuries but that hasn’t prevented the side from being competitive and giving tremendous effort in every game.
Here’s a look at some of our favorite Knicks player prop bets to target for Game 6 Friday, with odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Jalen Brunson over 6.5 assists (-125)
Brunson’s scoring will obviously headline the narratives in this series. The star point guard got some much-needed rest in the Game 4 blowout, which translated to a 44-point showing in the Game 5 win. However, Brunson has quietly been extremely steady when it comes to dishing out assists. He’s gone over this mark five times in the postseason but has four unders at exactly six assists. I think he’s able to log that extra dime tonight as the Knicks attempt to close out this series.
Josh Hart over 12.5 rebounds (-110)
Hart has actually gone under this line in each of the last two games, although he only came two rebounds shy of going over in Game 5 despite the blowout result. The forward has gotten some important rest over the last two games after logging at least 41 minutes in every playoff game, including playing two complete games. I think that’ll benefit Hart as he continues to assert himself on the glass. Look for him to go over this line in Game 6.
Miles McBride over 13.5 points (+100)
The Knicks have made an adjustment by giving McBride more playing time. He started Game 5 and did not disappoint, going for 17 points on 7-15 shooting. I expect the young guard to continue being aggressive in Game 6 to take pressure off Brunson offensively. McBride has gone over this mark in each of the last two games and there’s solid value here at +100. I like him to keep up his scoring pace tonight.
