Same Game Parlay odds: +576

New York Knicks ML (+154)

SGA opted to sit last night’s OKC game at Chicago, the Thunder still won by 8 points despite shooting 24% from three and getting outrebounded 53-51 on the glass. With the MVP back tonight, those type of numbers cannot happen again, a team like the Knicks is far too experienced to lose a game when the opponent shoots like that. It’s been 7 games since the Thunder shot 50% from the field in a game, with their 2nd best player Jalen Williams they’ll have to be on top of their game to beat the Knicks here. Unlike the Thunder who are 3-7 SU in back-to-back scenarios this season, the Knicks have a winning record of 6-4 SU in 10 such games.

Brunson and co. will be encouraged after yet another dominant win over the Toronto Raptors last night as they cruised to a 4-game regular season sweep 111-95. A big factor to consider here is the Knicks advantage in the rebounding department where they rank 6th for rebounds allowed, compared to the Thunder who are 25th. New York also has the better perimeter defense, being in the tier in terms of opponent three-point percentage while the Thunder are all the way down in 24th. After seeing what the Knicks did to the Spurs last Sunday at home, I have a lot of trust in this team. SGA, Hartenstein and Ajay Mitchell are all questionable to play, while Jalen Williams is out. The Knicks are only without Miles McBridge, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and back an outright home win here.

Jalen Brunson 3+ Made Threes (-115)

Big time players make big time plays and that’s exactly what I’m expecting out of Jalen Brunson for Wednesday’s game. He was once again the Knicks high point man with 26 last night in the win over Toronto, we all know that this team will only go as far as Brunson takes them and there’s no better test than playing the defending champions OKC Thunder. The 5 most recent meetings have seen Brunson average 27.4 points and with him shooting the three-ball at a stable 38% this season he’ll look to make the most out of OKC’s struggles defending the perimeter. The Thunder allow opponents to shoot 36.7% from downtown this season, on the road that number rises to 37% and you just know the Knicks will look to exploit all the flaws the Thunder have here. Brunson’s success rate clearing this line is at 53% this season (31/58 games), but over the past 10 outings he’s done it 6 times. Let’s hope for a big time performance from him in a memorable win for the Knicks at MSG.

Chet Holmgren 8+ Rebounds (-150)

I mentioned the disadvantage the Thunder have in the rebounding department here, with Isaiah Hartenstein being questionable to play, it’ll once again be up to Chet Holmgren to keep the Knicks off the glass here. He’s had a couple of monster rebounding games lately, with the highlight being a game with 21 rebounds against the Nuggets over the weekend. We’re seeing a different Chet following the all-star break – in 6 games since then he’s averaging 12 boards per game, quite the improvement over the 9 per game he’s averaged before that. With both teams playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back, I expect the defensive intensity to go up a notch, I quite like Holmgren’s chances of getting 8 rebounds in a somewhat low scoring game here. He’s cleared this line in 69% of games this season (38/55) and in 17 of 27 on the road (63%).
