Top NBA picks for Knicks vs. Spurs, Game 3
- Karl-Anthony Towns, Knicks, Over 17.5 points
- Mikal Bridges, Knicks, Over 13.5 points
- Victor Wembanyama, Spurs, Over 38.5 points + rebounds
Karl-Anthony Towns, Knicks, Over 17.5 points
Towns has been impressive on both ends of the floor so far in the NBA Finals, averaging 19.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. Made a name for himself in Game 2, finishing with 21 points and 13 rebounds. Towns averaged 20.1 points per game in the regular season, and the SportsLine Projection Model expects him to continue his work on the offensive end of the field tonight, indicating he’ll finish with a 19.6-point average.
Mikal Bridges, Knicks, Over 13.5 points
“After a pedestrian Game 1, Mikal Bridges came out guns blazing in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, scoring 20 points on 8/13 shooting,” said SportsLine’s Prop Bet Guy. “He has now cleared the mark in nine of his last eleven games since the Hawks series, as his late season struggles have caught up with him. This game fits Bridges’ image well, as the Spurs have been a bottom-five team against mid-majors this season.”
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs, Over 38.5 points + rebounds
Wembanyama stuffed the stat sheet in Game 2, finishing with 29 points and nine rebounds. He’s averaging 23.6 points per game during the NBA Playoffs, but with San Antonio down 0-2 in the NBA Finals, Wembanyama is expected to be the main focal point offensively for the Spurs. He’s also added double-digit rebounds 10 times already in the postseason, which could help him exceed this total on Monday night. The SportsLine Projection Model predicts Wembanyama will finish with 39.7 points + rebounds in Game 3, exceeding the posted total of 38.5.
