Best NBA prop bets today for Lakers vs. Knicks (Bet on Jalen Brunson)

The New York Knicks are looking to rebound from Saturday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets when they host LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.

With LeBron coming to The Garden, we’re almost guaranteed to see someone put on a magical performance in this game. So, why don’t we bet on it with some prop plays?

Here are my three favorites for Tuesday’s primetime showdown:

Lakers vs. Knicks best NBA prop bets today

• LeBron James OVER 14.5 Rebounds and Assists
• Jalen Brunson UNDER 9.5 Rebounds and Assists
• Immanuel Quickley OVER 20.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists

LeBron James OVER 14.5 Rebounds and Assists

LeBron has been playing at an extremely high level this season, and even though he’s questionable with a foot injury, I love this prop for him.

James has cleared this line in 10 straight games, and he’s averaging 8.5 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game on the season.

The four-time champion is just seven assists away from jumping into the top-five all time in assists, so don’t be shocked if he chases some history tonight.

The Lakers are No. 2 in the league in pace and the Knicks’ defense has taken a step back without Mitchell Robinson. Everyone is going to be betting on LeBron’s points, but this is the best value on the board.

Jalen Brunson UNDER 9.5 Rebounds and Assists

Jalen Brunson has done it all for the Knicks this season, but he’s gone UNDER this rebounds and assists total in eight of his last 10 games.

On the season, Brunson is averaging 3.5 boards and 6.2 assists per game, but he’s seen his assists numbers decline since returning from a hip injury.

The Knicks need Brunson to score, so I wouldn’t be shocked if he falls short of this line again on Tuesday.

Immanuel Quickley OVER 20.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists

There are very few bets I have enjoyed more than taking Immanuel Quickley’s PRA prop, especially over the last 15-20 games.

Since Dec. 20, Quickley has been one of the best bench players in the NBA, averaging 17.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. IQ has cleared this line in 15 of his last 20 matchups.

This has jumped two points form 18.5 to 20.5, but given Quickley’s usage in the Knicks’ offense, he’s worth a bet on Tuesday.
