Same Game Parlay odds: +443
Andre Drummond to Record 8+ Rebounds (+146)
Physicality is what got the Knicks the win in the first meeting vs the Cavaliers as they won the rebounding battle 49-40. Andre Drummond’s presence down low played a key role, the veteran center finished with 8 boards in just 14 minutes played. And that’s basically Drummond’s role on this team summed up in a game. He is doing his best to imitate the production of Mitchell Robinson on the boards and so far he is doing a fantastic job.
He has cleared this line in all four games played in November, upping his average from 7.3 rebs to 8.7 rebs per game compared to the previous month. For the season this bet has had a hit rate of 70%, while in head-to-head meetings Drummond is averaging 10.7 boards per game in the last 10 such games. It is also a well-known fact that the Cavs struggle down low despite having Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. No team in the league allows more rebounds to opposing Cs this season, let’s hope Drummond plays up to his standards here.
James Harden 2+ Made Threes (-240)
The Beard left a lot to be desired after his sub-par performance against the Knicks on Saturday. He finished with just 7 points, shooting 2-for-9 from the field and making just one of four shots from deep. Only Thomas Bryant and Tyrese Proctor had a worse +/- than Harden in that loss, I’m sure being the player he is, he will want to make amends on Wednesday.
Despite his poor play in that game, he’s been relatively reliable when it comes to the three-point shot, delivering a pair of threes in all but two games this season (63% hit rate). Josh Hart’s absence should also help, that’s one less elite defender to worry about chasing him around the three-point line. At this stage of his career Harden is no longer the primary option on offense for the Cavs, but he can still contribute when given the opportunity. In his last 10 games vs New York he’s making 2.6 threes per game on 36% efficiency.
Jalen Brunson to Score 25+ Points (-142)
Although it is a game with no rest for the Knicks, it is not your typical 2nd night of a back-to-back scenario. And what I mean by that is, the Knicks didn’t really exude much energy in the beatdown of the Bucks last night. The game was pretty much decided in the first half, New York coasted the rest of the way and won by 32 points. As a result no starter logged more than 29 minutes, Brunson himself played just 28 mins which should help him stay relatively fresh for tonight’s game.
Brunson always seems to get up for games against the Cavaliers – the last 10 meetings have seen him average 26.3 ppg on 45% from the field. On Saturday he finished with a cool 31 points, getting basically whatever he wanted both on the inside as well as around the perimeter. The Cavs allow the 8th most points and the 7th most threes to opposing PGs this season, I quite like Brunson’s head-to-head match-up against the much older James Harden here.
