The New York Knicks are looking to extend their league-best seven game winning streak on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors.

I gave a best bet for this game here, but why don’t we look at some fun prop bets to back specific players?

Here are three props to consider, including a rebounds prop for Julius Randle:

Warriors vs. Knicks best NBA prop bets

  • Jalen Brunson UNDER 6.5 Assists (-145)
  • Julius Randle OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-105)
  • Klay Thompson UNDER 4.5 3-Pointers Made (-150)

Jalen Brunson UNDER 6.5 Assists (-145)

Jalen Brunson is averaging 6.2 assists per game this season, but he’s taken on a much bigger scoring load as of late, putting up 82 points over his last three games.

Brunson has cleared 6.5 assists just two times in his last 10 games, failing to reach six assists in six of those 10 contests.

There’s a reason this is juiced at -145, but until the Knicks need Brunson to facilitate more, this line is a little too high.

Julius Randle OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-105)

Julius Randle has picked up 13, 12 and 14 rebounds in his last three games, and the Knicks have quickly become one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA, ranking No. 1 in rebounding percentage in their last 10 games.

The Warriors over that stretch? 13th in rebounding percentage. They rank 18th for the season.

Randle is playing a lot of minutes for the Knicks with Obi Toppin (leg) sidelined, so I’ll back him to grab double-digit boards for the fourth straight game.

Klay Thompson UNDER 4.5 3-Pointers Made (-150)

Klay Thompson had a big game against the Knicks the first time these teams faced off, hitting four 3-pointers in a Warriors win.

Despite that Klay has gone UNDER 4.5 3-pointers in seven of his last nine games.

The Knicks have been great defending the 3 lately, limiting opponents to a league worst 30.2 percent shooting from beyond the arc. If they keep that up, Klay is going to have a hard time going over 4.5 treys.
