Prediction

I am a bit surprised that this game has such a close spread but I am going to take advantage of it.

The Knicks are playing inspired basketball and know that if they can continue to push over the last 3 weeks of the season, they will be firmly in the playoffs and maybe even avoid a play-in game.

New York are currently 6th, dead even with the 5th place Nets and 3 games back from the 4th place Cavaliers.

Every win matters and a win tonight would be a great ending to the Knicks west coast road trip.

The Knicks will most likely be without PG Jalen Brunson yet again tonight, still dealing with his sore foot so it will be up to Julius Randle and RJ Barrett to carry the load again.

Jalen Brunson (sore left foot) is doubtful for tomorrow’s game at Portland.

Randle and Barrett will have to be huge again for the Knicks to get a big win tonight and I think they will be.

Give me the Knicks to get a big win in Portland tonight and head back to New York on a 2 game winning streak.

Player Prop of the Game

RJ Barett o4.5 Rebounds (-120) Bet 365

Let’s round this out by targeting RJ Barrett and his rebounding. I love his points as well, as he has 20+ in 4 of the Knicks last 5 games.

But the rebounds stuck out to me a bit more, due to the recent success and the success against Portland.

Barrett has 5+ rebounds in 4 of his last 5 games, playing 30+ minutes in 5 straight games.

Also, against the Blazers earlier this season, Barrett had a whopping 10 rebounds in 44 minutes of game time.

I expect another big night from RJ, especially on the glass.

Bonus: RJ Barrett 6+ Rebounds (+150)
