3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Knicks vs. Clippers (Back Reggie Jackson, Fade Mitchell Robinson on Sunday)
By Peter Dewey
The New York Knicks, losers of seven straight, will look to turn things around on the road against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night.
We’ve previewed this matchup, but what about some props to bet?
Here are three that I am considering at WynnBET Sportsbook:
Best NBA Prop Bets for Knicks vs. Clippers
- Reggie Jackson OVER 20.5 Points (-125)
- RJ Barrett OVER 23.5 Points (-125)
- Mitchell Robinson UNDER 9.5 Rebounds (-110)
Reggie Jackson OVER 20.5 Points (-125)
The Knicks have been awful on the defensive end as of late, ranking 28th in defensive rating over their last 10 games.
I think Reggie Jackson will be one of the biggest beneficiaries from that, as he’s been extremely consistent for the Clippers this season, scoring 17.0 points per game and clearing this line in two of his last three games.
Jackson should have the volume to get this done (he’s taken 16 or more shots in six of eight games), and the Knicks have found a way to let someone beat them every night. It was Cam Johnson with a career-high on Friday night, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Jackson puts up a big game in L.A.
RJ Barrett OVER 23.5 Points (-125)
Sticking with some scoring props, there has been nobody more consistent for the Knicks lately than RJ Barrett, who has cleared this line in three of his last four games since returning from an ankle injury.
Barrett is coming off a 20-point game against the Phoenix Suns, but he shot just 6-for-26 in that game. The percentages are going to improve, and Barrett is averaging 23.3 shots per game over his last four.
If he sees that kind of volume again, I can’t help but take the over considering he’s averaging 30.0 points per game over that stretch and 24.4 points per game over his last 19 contests.
Mitchell Robinson UNDER 9.5 Rebounds (-110)
Mitchell Robinson is coming off a 15-rebound game against the Suns on Friday, but this number is a little inflated considering he has only picked up double-digit boards in three of his last eight games.
The Clippers are just 25th in rebounding percentage, but Robinson’s rebounding numbers have been too up and down lately (15, 7, 4, 9, 7 in his last five games) for me to trust him to hit 10 boards at inflated -130 odds.
