3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Knicks vs. Pistons (Back Mitchell Robinson, RJ Barrett)
By Peter Dewey
The New York Knicks are eyeing a third straight win when they take on the NBA’s worst team, the Detroit Pistons, on Wednesday.
WynnBET Sportsbook has the Knicks as a seven-point road favorite after they beat the Pistons earlier this month.
Here are three player props to consider betting in tonight’s matchup:
Best Prop Bets for Knicks vs. Pistons
- Mitchell Robinson to Record Double-Double (+150)
- RJ Barrett OVER 14.5 Points (-120)
- Frank Jackson UNDER 3.5 3-Pointers Made (-165)
Mitchell Robinson to Record Double-Double (+150)
There’s a lot of value on this prop at +150, as Robinson is fresh off a double-double against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.
The Knicks big man has played extended minutes with Nerlens Noel in the league’s health and safety protocols, and he’s produced, with two double-doubles in his last four games. One of those came against Detroit, who he lit up for 17 points and 14 rebounds.
The Pistons are still short-handed in this game, and I think Mitch continues his hot stretch on Wednesday.
RJ Barrett OVER 14.5 Points (-120)
RJ Barrett has had a rough third season in the NBA, but he had posted three straight games over this number before landing in the NBA’s health and safety protocols.
Barrett is still getting his legs under him (7-for-25 from the field since returning), but he showed some promise in the fourth quarter on Tuesday to lead the Knicks to a win.
I think this could be the game he breaks out again and gets back to the 17-18 points per game he averaged last season.
Frank Jackson UNDER 3.5 3-Pointers Made (-165)
This prop is juiced to -165, but for good reason as Jackson has gone over 3.5 3-pointers in just three games all season.
The Knicks aren’t the best at defending the 3, ranking 23rd in opponent 3s allowed per game, but they are 15th in opponent 3-point percentage. Jackson has taken 15 shots from beyond the arc in his last two games, but I think this is the right side to be on since he’s only hit this number three times all season.
