New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors: Betting tips

Jalen Brunson has been given an NBA prop of 24.5 points, and he went up that mark three times in the last five games. Coming off a 42-point night against the Pistons, he should bring the momentum and go over again.

Coming into this game, 21.5 points is the NBA prop for Pascal Siakam. He barely went up the mark only once last game but missed it three times in a row. Considering the trend, it's safer to pick him going under.
