NBA Friday night promises to be an exciting one as we have yet another ESPN double-header coming our way!

It’ll be the New York Knicks squaring off with the Milwaukee Bucks at 7:30pm ET, followed by the New Orleans Pelicans and Golden State Warriors at 10pm ET.

We’ve covered all 9 of Friday’s games with predictions on the side and total, but let’s focus on the best same-game parlay plays for Knicks vs Bucks!

New York Knicks ML (+140)

Evan Fournier over 13.5 points (-106)

Kemba Walker over 2.5 threes (-115)

Parlay odds: +614

New York Knicks ML (+140)

The Knicks are off to a better start to the season than Milwaukee. They’ve won 5 of 8 games and are looking really good, especially on the offensive end. They rank 2nd in the NBA in scoring and knock down 15 3-pointers per game on average. The oddsmakers have favored the Bucks here despite them being without Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday and potentially Brook Lopez. Giannis is a beast, but he cannot do it alone against a well-balanced attack such as the Knicks’. New York has 5 players scoring in double figures, led by Julius Randle, who is averaging 20.6 per game. It’s also worth noting that the Knicks have covered the spread in 8 of their last 10 against Central Division opponents, so there is reason to be optimistic.

Evan Fournier over 13.5 points (-106)

Fournier is the 3rd-best scorer on the Knicks’ roster, right behind Randle and Barrett. He’s currently averaging 16.4 points per game and is shooting a solid 41.3% from 3-point land. He’s finished over 13.5 points in 5 of 8 games and against a injury riddled Bucks team he should get his opportunities. Milwaukee also plays at the 4th-fastest pace in the NBA, them being at home will certainly dictate the tempo of this game so if the Knicks put up their usual 38.5 attempts from deep, Fournier should get to his point total with ease.

Kemba Walker over 2.5 threes (-115)

One other guy who has benefited greatly from the Knicks’ resurgence on the offensive end has been Kemba Walker. He’s the team’s 4th-leading scorer and one of the most efficient ones with 51% success rate from downtown. He did have a bad game against the Indiana Pacers going 0-5 last time out, but one bad game doesn’t ruin all the good stuff he has done this season. He’s gone over 2.5 3s in 6 of 8 games, which is definitely an encouraging sign. One more thing that Kemba will benefit from is the absence of Jrue Holiday who is an elite defender at the point-guard position. With him out of the way we can expect Kemba to put up good numbers tonight.
