For the second time this week \u2014 and fourth time this season \u2014 the New York Knicks and Orlando Magic will square off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest:<\/strong> Saturday’s matchup has a bit more cachet than the others, given that it’s an NBA Cup semifinal. The Magic are 2-1 SU and ATS against the Knicks so far this season, but New York did claim a 106-100 home win last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out these Knicks vs. Magic prop picks for the game on Dec. 13, featuring a prop bet on Jalen Brunson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knicks vs. Magic prop picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best bet:<\/strong> Anunoby under 14.5 points <\/strong>(-110)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anunoby got hot when he last faced the Magic, but they often hold him below this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Sunday, the ex-Raptor scored 21 points vs. the Magic while shooting 5-for-7 from deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he’d finished with a single-digit point total in four straight against Orlando prior to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight’s projected total is 223.0 points, which is the lowest of these teams’ four head-to-head matchups this year. It’s also the lowest projected total that the Knicks have seen all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe New York and Orlando will treat this NBA Cup semifinal like a playoff game, which would likely mean tighter defence and fewer possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And keep in mind that both teams are playing stout defence as it is, ranking in the top 10 in defensive rating in their past 10 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anunoby is playing the four right now for the Knicks, and that positional designation matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orlando is allowing the fewest points per game to opposing power forwards, according to Fantasy Pros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat<\/strong>: Since joining the Knicks, Anunoby is averaging 12.6 PPG in seven matchups against the Magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional NBA prop predictions <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Towns over 11.5 rebounds (-112):<\/strong> Towns only had eight rebounds in his lone matchup vs. the Magic this year, but I’m not letting one game dictate my prediction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 7-footer is averaging 12.0 RPG on the season and is 13-12 vs. this prop. He’s also 3-2 against this number when facing Orlando as a Knick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-> Bet on KAT as a rebounder vs. the Magic<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last time out, KAT snagged 16 rebounds against the Raptors in 31 minutes. Two games before that, he had 18 boards against the Hornets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though he has a sweet shot for a big man, Towns is still plenty capable of mucking it up around the rim. This is a fair price for the reigning third-team All-NBA centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
