That was against the New York Knicks, who pose a much bigger threat than the tanking Brooklyn Nets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before he got injured, Powell had cleared this line in 18 straight outings. If he plays a full workload again, this is a very achievable number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nets have lost five in a row and have a below-average defensive rating (116.8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: In Powell&#8217;s first meeting with the Nets this season, he scored 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting. He only played 22 minutes in a 59-point blowout win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Towns over 26.5 points (-118)<\/strong>: The Knicks continue to be without Jalen Brunson, which opens up extra shooting volume for other top offensive options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there&#8217;s no one better to turn to than Towns in this matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The big man has played two games against the Bucks with the Knicks. He scored 30-plus points both times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Towns shot over 60% from the field in those games and dominated on the glass with 29 total rebounds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The boards aren&#8217;t important for this wager but it shows how confident Towns feels in the paint against the Bucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s playing good basketball right now, too, averaging 29.4 points over the past five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Booker 8+ assists (-112):<\/strong> Booker has flourished in his role as the primary ball-handler and playmaker for the Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He has 10+ assists in five of the past seven games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He averaged 9.9 assists per game during that time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is certainly an uptick from his season-long 7.1 APG average, but this isn&#8217;t limited to the last several games either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 19 games since the all-star break, Booker has averaged 8.3 assists and is 12-7 against this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 12:21 p.m. ET on 03\/28\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have three prop bets for Friday&#8217;s NBA action.
