New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction
I really love betting this guy, and I don’t do it as much as I should. Brunson is a guy who is nearly guaranteed to get you 20 every night, and he is criminally underrated every year. This is a smash spot for him in a fun game between the New York based teams.
Brunson averages 25.6 points per game, so buying the extra point for a little bit of juice is worth it in my eyes, he has exactly 25 twice this year. On the road, Brunson is significantly better for whatever reason, averaging 27.6 points per game. Brooklyn allows the 7th most points to point guards and the most made threes to the position, I also like Brunson o2.5 3PM, but he have seen him score heavy with just driving and free throws.
This game only has a 1.5-point spread and should be pretty fast paced. Cam Thomas now getting consistent minutes for Brooklyn seems to speed them up, and the more shot attempts the better for our over. Brunson torched Brooklyn last year with his last three games against them being 39, 40 and 26 points. I like Brunson to score big and join Fox tonight on the fun lefty guards who we wanna score list. Let's roll!
