Best NBA prop bets today for Bucks vs. Knicks (Fade this Immanuel Quickley prop)
The New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks face off in an interesting matchup at Madison Square Garden where the Knicks are actually favored against the No. 3 team in the East.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks are just 9-9 straight up on the road, but the Knicks are 7-11-2 against the spread at home this season.
If you’re not sold on betting a side in this game, you can bet on some player props, which is my preferred method of wagering on this matchup.
Let’s jump into three picks for the Knicks-Bucks showdown on Monday:
Bucks vs. Knicks best NBA prop bets
- Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 48.5 Points. Rebounds and Assists
- Immanuel Quickley UNDER 16.5 Points
- Jrue Holiday OVER 16.5 Points
Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 48.5 Points. Rebounds and Assists
Giannis dominated the Knicks in the first meeting between these teams, scoring 37 points, grabbing 13 rebounds and adding seven assists.
He’s cleared this PRA line in three straight games against the Knicks, scoring at least 30 points in each of those matchups.
The Knicks have struggled against some stars as of late (Luka Doncic, Pascal Siakam), so I wouldn’t be shocked if Giannis has a big game getting to the rim to go OVER this number.
Immanuel Quickley UNDER 16.5 Points
This is my favorite bet of the night.
Quickley has played well for the Knicks since being inserted into the starting lineup, but he’s gone under this line in six of his last eight games, including all three since Jalen Brunson returned from a hip injury.
He’s struggled shooting the ball this season (40.9 percent from the field), and the Bucks are third in the NBA in defensive rating.
Plus, I wouldn’t be shocked if RJ Barrett returns to the lineup tonight, which could limit Quickley’s role in a big way.
Even if RJ doesn’t suit up, I love this under for Quickley.
Jrue Holiday OVER 16.5 Points
Jrue Holiday has been on a bit of a minutes limit since returning from an injury, playing less than 20 minutes in each of his last two games.
However, he was back in the starting lineup in his last outing, and I think this line is too low for a guy who is averaging 18.2 points per game this season.
Someone has to score other than Giannis for the Bucks, and if Holiday plays his regular minutes, he should clear this easily. Prior to the injury, Holiday had cleared 16.5 points in 10 of his previous 11 games.
