Bucks vs. Knicks NBA same-game parlay picks

  • Jalen Brunson Under 30.5 points (-117)
  • Knicks -8.5 (-110)
  • Under 232.5 (-110)

Final odds at DraftKings: +576 (wager $100 to win $576)

Jalen Brunson Under 30.5 points (-117)

Brunson's having another great year as the clear top guy for New York, averaging 28.6 points per game, and he's also coming off two 33-point outings in his last three games played. The SportsLine model is taking the Under on his 30.5 points prop line, however, with a projection of 28.8 6 as Brunson has gone Under on this prop in six of his last seven home games against losing teams with bottom-third defenses.

Knicks -8.5 (-110)

The SportsLine model has the Knicks winning outright in nearly 70% of its 10,000 simulations, but the better value is on the spread as the Knicks cover 53% of the time. 

Under 232.5 (-110)

These teams combined for 232 points the last time they faced off this season, and the model projects Under 232.5 as its top play for this game, with that side of the total hitting more than 60% of the time.
