Knicks Game 6 computer picks

Karl-Anthony Towns Under 3.5 assists (+120)

Projection: 3.22 assists

The Atlanta Hawks will throw everything they have at the New York Knicks on defense, which will assuredly cut down on their baskets. 

Our model believes that it will cut into Karl-Anthony Towns' assist numbers.

Jalen Brunson Under 27.5 points (-105)

Projection: 25.53 points

Jalen Brunson failed to eclipse this number in both games in Atlanta, and his shooting will take a dip again. Brunson will be the focal point of Atlanta's D, which will lead him to get rid of the ball more rather than jacking up ill-advised shots.

🔥 Bet brunson Now at bet365!

Jordan Clarkson Over 6.5 points (-125)

Projection: 7.72 points

Jordan Clarkson is a steady hand off the bench and has hit this number in all five games thus far. He'll get 16-20 minutes, which is more than enough time to cash the Over.

Hawks Game 6 computer picks

CJ McCollum Over 2.5 threes (+160)

Projection: 2.94 threes

This is the first of two five-star plays our projections spit out. CJ McCollum has hit three or more treys in just two of five games this series, but he's due for positive regression after going 0-fer from deep in his last two outings.

The +160 price tag makes this a must bet.

🔥 Bet McCollum Now at bet365!

Onyeka Okongwu Under 13.5 points (-110)

Projection: 11.28 points

Onyeka Okongwu failed to hit this line in either game at home this series, providing more of a spark on the road. Atlanta has plenty of mouths to feed, which will cut into the big man's shot volume.

🔥 Bet okongwu Now at bet365!

Gabe Vincent Under 4.5 points (-112)

Projection: 3.51 points

Gabe Vincent has hit this line in three straight, but he isn't guaranteed as much playing time tonight with the Hawks facing elimination. Lack of floor time will hamper his ability to score.

Kyle’s biggest tip for any bettor is simple: gamble responsibly. Only bet what you’re willing to lose and make sure to install a proper bankroll method to keep track of your ROI. If you’re still dwelling on the amount you lost the next day, it’s time to decrease your spending.
