Paolo Banchero o22.5 Points Scored (-114)
I like a bounce-back spot for Banchero with the team returning home to face the Phoenix Suns. Before that blip north of the border, he was on a tear. Banchero had posted efforts of 30, 36, and 39 points in the three game prior and is averaging more than 25 points this month. Sunday’s shooting slump has knocked his points prop down a few pegs. His scoring prop was as high as 25.5 O/U during that hot streak and player projections sit between 23 and 25 points, with the majority above 24. He scored 26 points in an OT loss at Pheonix back in February.

Karl-Anthony Towns o17.5 Points Scored (-105)
Towns has shot the ball just 17 total times in the Knicks last two losses, hitting 10 of those attempts and finishing with outputs of 13 and 15 points. NBA analysts are calling for KAT to play a bigger role and demand touches in the Knicks’ offense, especially with the playoffs closing in. His point totals are shrinking like they jumped in a cold swimming pool, down from 20.5 to 17.5 O/U. That presents a buyback spot at Houston tonight. Towns already torched the Rockets for 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting back in February and his player projections all sit well above this 17.5-point mark, ranging from 19.4 to as high as 23.4.
