Best Bet: Barrett over 21.5 points (-123)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI would never miss the chance to get in on a revenge game narrative, but I also feel this is a great matchup for Barrett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Knicks boast one of the best offences in basketball, but they can be shaky on the defensive end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New York allows the second-highest field goal percentage to opponents at the rim (46.7%), and Barrett excels at driving to the basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Toronto native makes 6.1 shots per game at the rim at a 52.9% clip. That’s more makes in the area than 98% of the league, per 3stepbasket.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is also a buy-low spot for Barrett. He went under this mark in two straight but cleared this line in the four previous games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On top of that, he’s been balling at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key stat:<\/strong> Barrett averages 27.7 points per game at Scotiabank Arena this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Poeltl over 10.5 rebounds<\/strong> (-136):<\/strong> Toronto is fourth in the league in rebounds per game (46.1) and Poeltl is a big reason why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- He averages 11.6 RPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- He’s cleared this line in 12\/20 games dating back to Oct. 28<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
I believe Toronto will lean on the 7-footer in this matchup with the Knicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable to play but if he’s good to go, the Raps will need Poeltl in the low post contesting for rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If Towns is out, Poeltl will have a mismatch against the lesser experienced Jericho Sims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Either way, I like his chances of clearing this modest line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anunoby over 2.5 threes made (-113):<\/strong> Here’s another chance to get in on the revenge narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis pick becomes a lot juicier if Towns is out, so keep an eye on that throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s because KAT shoots a high volume of threes per game (5.2) for a centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But even if Towns is in, Anunoby shoots his fair share of 3-pointers per game (5.9) and is hitting them at a 38.2% clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anunoby has hit this line in two of the last three games, and I predict he shows out against the team that traded him away at the deadline last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
