New York Knicks @ Portland Trail Blazers Preview

The New York Knicks (41-23) are coming off a dominant 133-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings, showcasing their depth despite the absence of Jalen Brunson, who is sidelined with an ankle injury. Karl-Anthony Towns led the charge with 26 points and 9 rebounds, while OG Anunoby and Miles McBride added 24 and 21 points, respectively. The Knicks are third in the Eastern Conference and are looking to build momentum on their West Coast trip.

Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers (28-38) are on a four-game losing streak, most recently falling to the Golden State Warriors 130-120. Despite strong performances from Deni Avdija (34 points, 16 rebounds) and Anfernee Simons (32 points), the Blazers have struggled defensively and are now 12th in the Western Conference. Portland will need to tighten up on both ends of the floor to compete with the Knicks' size and offensive firepower.

Pick: Knicks -4.0

widget-odds-nba-ats-5006-NY-POR

The Knicks are the better team on paper and have shown they can perform without Jalen Brunson. With Karl-Anthony Towns leading the way and the Blazers struggling defensively, New York should be able to cover the -4.0 spread. Portland's recent form, including three double-digit losses in their last four games, further supports this pick.

Top Player Prop Picks

Karl-Anthony Towns Over 26.5 Points

widget-props-nba-5006-2191376

Karl-Anthony Towns has been the focal point of the Knicks' offense in Brunson's absence, scoring 26 points in their last game. Against a Blazers defense that ranks 18th in points allowed, Towns is well-positioned to exceed this line.

Anfernee Simons Over 3.5 Three-Pointers Made

Simons has been a bright spot for the Blazers, averaging 3.7 three-pointers made per game over his last 10 contests. With the Knicks' defense ranking 29th in opponent three-point percentage, Simons should find success from beyond the arc.

OG Anunoby Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made

Anunoby has been a consistent threat from deep, shooting 36.2% on the season. With increased opportunities in Brunson's absence, he should comfortably hit this mark against a Blazers defense that struggles to defend the perimeter.
