As the NBA season marches on, Tuesday night offers a basketball extravaganza with five exciting games on the schedule. From a betting perspective, I'm most looking forward to the crosstown rivalry game between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets.
The Knicks have won four of their past five games. Meanwhile, the Nets have lost five of their past six. There are two prop bets that immediately caught my attention from that matchup, so without further ado, let's begin with Tuesday's recommendations. Jalen Brunson over 28.5 points. Brunson has been phenomenal lately, surpassing this line in seven of his past eight games.
Brunson has averaged 20.5 field goal attempts and 30.5 points per game over that span. The Nets give up the third-most points per game to point guards and the fourth-fewest points per game to power forwards.
Julius Randle faces a challenging matchup, which bodes well for Brunson as the Knicks' offensive focal point. OG Anunoby over 5.5 rebounds. Anunoby has had five or more rebounds in five of his past six games and has averaged 36.7 minutes per game since being traded to the Knicks.
