Knicks Game 3 computer picks
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 1.5 threes (+135)
Projection: 1.61 threes
Karl-Anthony Towns is one of the best shooting big men in NBA history, and his ability to stretch the floor will be needed against the Atlanta Hawks.
Our model sees this as a +EV play, and we're getting plus money for a line KAT has hit in both games of this series.
Mikal Bridges Over 12.5 points (-105)
Projection: 13.67 points
Mikal Bridges is one of the streakiest shooters in the league, but his volume and play time alone make this bet enticing. Bridges possesses coveted 3-and-D capabilities, which kept him on the floor for 37 minutes in Game 2.
He'll be asked to play heavy minutes again, and with a volume of eight to 12 shots, he can get Over this number.
Jalen Brunson Under 26.5 points (-115)
Projection: 24.58 points
Make no mistake, Jalen Brunson's 29 points in Game 2 were not impressive. It took him 26 shots to get there, and his ill-advised "hero shots" in the fourth quarter hurt the New York Knicks more than they helped them.
Brunson is an excellent facilitator and will need to get the rest of his team involved if he hopes to keep up with Atlanta.
Hawks Game 3 computer picks
Onyeka Okongwu Over 2.5 assists (+115)
Projection: 2.82 assists
Onyeka Okongwu isn't setting the world on fire with his playmaking, but this is an obtainable number. The Hawks are the best offensive rebounding team at home over the last 10 games, and second-chance opportunities will lead to more chances of assists for the Atlanta big man.
Dyson Daniels Over 4.5 assists (-130)
Projection: 5.83 assists
Dyson Daniels has had a hard time scoring, but he's still an excellent facilitator. Before a rough Game 2, Daniels eclipsed this assist total in three straight.
Daniels' inability to shoot will force the Hawks to make him act as the playmaker for his teammates, leading to plenty of dimes.
Jonathan Kuminga Over 12.5 points (-120)
Projection: 14.05 points
Jonathan Kuminga was a beast off the bench for Atlanta in Game 3, recording 19 points in 34 minutes of action. He's earned the playing time, and he'll be asked to score the rock early and often when he gets on the floor.
