Expert picks & predictions for Sunday’s Knicks vs. Pistons game
Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans Jalen Brunson’s point prop and the Knicks +2:
“The Knicks took the pivotal Game 3 that can really swing a series, so the momentum is certainly in their favor. Jalen Brunson, the Clutch Player of the Year, had another heroic effort as Batman (Brunson, 30 points) and Robin (KAT, 31 points) closed the game for New York. I can’t expect KAT to have another massive performance, but there’s no reason why Brunson can’t after 34, 37, and 30 points in the series thus far — Over 29.5 points looks good for Brunson and if the Knicks win here, they can close it out at home in five games, so I lean the Knicks +2 and ML (+110).
If you have the series correct score market — I like the value on the series to end in 5 (+185) more than the Knicks ML here (+110) because they would be laying at least -7.5 at home in Game 5 up 3-1.”
