Knicks vs. Trail Blazers Preview
It was only one win, and it came after three losses, but that looked like a potential watershed moment for the Knicks in Monday's 133-104 destruction of what had been a Kings team on an uptick as of late.
The fact that the Knicks produced such a big effort minus-Jalen Brunson (ankle) made the result all the more impressive, with every starter scoring 15 or more, led by 26 from Karl-Anthony Towns.
The Knicks also hit 22-of-40 attempts from beyond the arc, with Josh hart and Miles McBride combining for 8-for-11 between them, more than picking up the slack for the absent Brunson.
As for the Blazers, they look to be losing some steam after a recent 10-4 run, dropping their last four. Lay the points with New York.
Best Bet: Knicks -4 (-110)
Knicks vs. Trail Blazers Prediction
By Jim Turvey
The Knicks take on the Trail Blazers on Wednesday, once again without Jalen Brunson.
The past two games have seen OG Anunoby put up 15 field goal attempts each, with 15 combined threes taken in those two games.
OG sees his usage go from 18.2 with Brunson on the court to 20.8 with him off. As such, I have Anunoby projected for 19.3 points on Wednesday night.
Pick: OG Anunoby Over 16.5 Points (-120)
