Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Knicks vs. Nets (Back Jalen Brunson, Joe Harris on Wednesday)
By Peter Dewey
The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets renew their rivalry on Wednesday night as the Nets look to grab their eighth straight win against the Knicks.
The Nets are favored in this matchup, but five of the last seven games between these two teams have been close, being decided by five or less points.
Let’s check out the latest odds in this matchup:
Knicks vs. Nets Odds, Spread and Total
You’re here to bet some props, which is always a fun thing to do when Kevin Durant is on one of the teams.
Here are three I’m considering for this game on Wednesday:
Knicks vs. Nets Best NBA Prop Bets
- Julius Randle OVER 8.5 Rebounds
- Jalen Brunson OVER 18.5 Points
- Joe Harris OVER 2.5 3-Pointers Made
Julius Randle OVER 8.5 Rebounds
Julius Randle has cleared this line in six of his 10 games this season, and now he faces a Nets team that ranks dead last in the NBA in rebounding percentage this season.
The Knicks need Randle on the glass with Mitchell Robinson out, and he’s actually played some center alongside Obi Toppin in the last few games.
Since the 2020-21 season, Randle has cleared 8.5 boards in four of six games against the Nets, averaging 9.5 per contest.
Jalen Brunson OVER 18.5 Points
The Nets have been one of the worst defenses in the NBA this season, so they’re going to struggle to contain Jalen Brunson, who has been hot as of late for the Knicks.
Brunson has scored 20 or more points in four straight games, and he’s averaging 19.7 points per game on the season.
There have only been two games all season where Brunson has taken less than 14 shots, and he’s been efficient from the field, shooting 50.7 percent.
Joe Harris OVER 2.5 3-Pointers Made
Joe Harris hasn’t cleared this line yet this season, but he’s got a terrific matchup on Wednesday night.
The Knicks have two games this season where they allowed 23 or more 3-pointers to their opponent, and they rank 29th in the NBA in opponent 3s allowed per game.
Kevin Durant is going to draw a ton of attention, which should open up plenty of open looks for Harris and Seth Curry on the outside.
