Karl-Anthony Towns Over 21.5 Points
Karl-Anthony Towns remains a focal point in the Knicks’ playoff offense. He averaged 24.4 PPG during the regular season and scored 24.0 points per game in two matchups versus Detroit. In Game 1, he added 23 points and has shown consistent volume and efficiency.

Jalen Duren Under 11.5 Rebounds
Jalen Duren is an elite rebounder (10.3 RPG regular season), and he’s averaged 11.3 RPG in four matchups against the Knicks heading into the playoffs. New York has held Duren to 9.5 rebounds per game in the series, albeit at MSG. With Towns and Mitchell Robinson collapsing the paint and New York limiting second-chance opportunities, Duren’s rebounding upside could be capped again in Game 3.

Karl-Anthony Towns Over 24.5 Points + Assists
Towns has averaged 24.4 points and 3.1 assists during the season, combining for 27.5 per game. He’s also averaging 2.0 assists per game against Detroit this series. Towns is a decent passing big man, but expect his offense to do the work in this combo prop.
Karl-Anthony Towns Under 8.5 Rebounds
Despite his season average of 12.8 RPG (2nd in the NBA), Towns has averaged just 8.5 boards over the past two games against the Pistons. In the regular season, the Pistons ranked sixth, allowing just 42.5 rebounds per game. Detroit’s frontcourt spacing has minimized his rebounding efficiency, and Game 2 saw a more even glass distribution across the roster, holding Towns to just six boards. Bettors are banking on that trend, which will continue Thursday.
Cade Cunningham Under 8.5 Assists
Cade Cunningham averaged 9.1 APG in the regular season but only averaged 7.5 against the Knicks in the series. With New York tightening perimeter defense and holding Cade to three dimes in Game 2, his assist chances are down. Game 3 could again skew toward a more isolation-heavy offense, making this under a hot ticket.
