Jalen Brunson remains sidelined with an ankle injury, and that has me targeting two of his teammates for Monday’s New York Knicks vs. Sacramento Kings matchup.
The pregame narrative: OG Anunoby has some enticing plus-money value on his 3s prop, and that’s my best bet for tonight. I also like Mikal Bridges to go over his points prop after excelling last time out against Sacramento.
Check out my Knicks vs. Kings prop picks for March 10.
Knicks vs. Kings prop picks
Best Bet: Anunoby over 2.5 threes (+125)
If the Knicks want to take advantage of a Grade-A matchup from 3-point land tonight, Anunoby should be the guy leading the charge.
Over the Knicks’ past 15 games, the ex-Raptor leads the team on a per-game basis in makes (2.8) and attempts (7.3).
Let’s take it back even further. Here are Anunoby’s 3-point numbers since Jan. 15:
- 40.7 3PT%
- 2.8 makes
- 6.8 attempts
- 3+ makes in 9 of 16 games
- 6+ attempts in 12 of 16 games
Anunoby has attempted eight or more 3s in five straight games. Without Brunson — who’s averaging the third-most attempted 3s for the Knicks this season — I would expect that volume to persist.
And remember, this is a Grade-A matchup for New York’s outside shooters. The Kings allow the third most 3s per game (14.3) and the second-highest 3PT% (37.4) in the NBA.
Anunoby went 4-for-7 beyond the arc against Sacramento on Jan. 25.
Key stat: Anunoby has cashed this bet in six of his past 10 games.
Quick pick
Bridges over 18.5 points (-107): I think it’s safe to say Bridges has underwhelmed in his first year with the Knicks, but the situation he’s facing tonight is a promising one.
In two games without Bridges this season, Bridges scored 20-plus points both times.
One of those games was three nights ago against the Clippers. Bridges shot 8-for-12 from the field (6-for-6 from the free-throw line) to finish with 22 points.
Back in January, when Brunson was healthy, Bridges torched the Kings for 27 points on 10-of-15 shooting. There were plenty of buckets to go around, as four Knicks finished with 20-plus points that night.
Without Brunson, more of the scoring burden should fall to Bridges on Monday night.
