Best Bets Knicks Vs. Pistons: Brunson, Duren Showing Value

Jalen Brunson’s PRA total is set at 39.5.
There are +105 odds for Jalen Duren to go over 11.5 rebounds.

DETROIT – Game 3 between the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons tips off on Thursday Night at Little Caesars Arena where the Knicks are going in as slight 1-point favorites.

While the gameline does show some value on legal sports betting sites, we’re focusing on the player props for both Jalen Brunson and Jalen Duren who have both been having great performances in the series thus far.

Jalen Brunson Doing It All

Jalen Brunson Total Points, Rebounds, Assists

Over 39.5 -110
Under 39.1 -120

There is no other way to describe Brunson’s performance thus far against the Pistons than unstoppable and his total for PRA is extremely low. In points alone, he’s averaging 35.5 ppg in the first two games with 34 and 37 point outings. He’s also put up 7 and 8 assists, and 2 and 3 rebounds in each of those games as well crushing this PRA total with ease both times.

Outside of the playoffs, in their four regular season meetings, Brunson has gone over this total in three of those games as well.

One of the most important factors that comes into the play that pushes the over here is that Brunson plays nearly the entire game. He’s played 40 and 44 minutes meaning he’ll have every opportunity to hit this line.

Jalen Duren Value On The Glass

Jalen Duren Total Rebounds

Over 11.5 +105
Under 11.5 -135

This is a great spot to get some plus money NBA betting odds as Jalen Duren has been a magnet on the glass and that is not expected to change in Game 3.

Looking at the series to this point, Duren has gone over once in two games which came in Game 2 with 13 rebounds.

In his last 23 games, he’s been a freak in the paint grabbing 11+ rebounds in 16 of those games. Focusing in on the month of April alone though, he’s gone for 13+ boards in five of seven games that he started including two of his last three against New York.

His x-factor in hitting the over here is going to come on the offensive glass where he’s totaled nine offensive rebounds in the series.
