widget-odds-nba-ats-4956-NY-LAL

The Lakers have been dominant at home, winning five straight games and posting a 24-7 home record this season. Their defense has been solid, ranking 9th in points allowed per game, and they have the offensive firepower to exploit the Knicks' 25th-ranked field goal defense.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Julius Randle Over 24.5 Points

Randle has been a consistent scorer for the Knicks, and with the Lakers' focus on limiting perimeter shooting, he could see increased opportunities in the paint. His ability to draw fouls and convert at the free-throw line makes this a strong play.

2. Anthony Davis Over 10.5 Rebounds

Davis has been a dominant force on the boards, and the Knicks rank 24th in total rebounds per game. Expect Davis to take advantage of this mismatch and secure a double-digit rebounding performance.

3. Jalen Brunson Over 6.5 Assists

Brunson has been the primary playmaker for the Knicks, and with the Lakers' defense focusing on Randle, he should have ample opportunities to distribute the ball effectively.
