PJ Washington has cleared this number in only two of his last 10 games, and for the season he's shooting 30.5 percent from deep. But the Knicks are a great matchup for spot-up shooters. They're allowing 15.4 made 3-pointers per game (second-most), the third-highest percentage from deep (39.4) and the most catch-and-shoot 3-pointers. Despite his slump, Washington is still averaging 4.6 attempts from deep this month. Look for him to take at least five treys Wednesday and drain at least two.
Jalen Brunson is expected to make his return tonight, which means the first and second unit of the Knicks will be revamped. Less shots I do not expect to derail the momentum of Landry Shamet. Shamet has shown his versatility if playing starterтАЩs minutes or bench minutes, as he has scored in double figures in each of his last four games. Take his over once again tonight.
My favorite points props are ones where I get three different options (or more). So on KAT, for example, I can pick from 22.5 at a couple of books, 23.5 at a couple and this outlier 24.5. These are the props I try and find because then can only blame myself if he lands at 23 and I picked the wrong one. But Jalen Brunson went through shootaround today so that leads me to think he will play. And you know he wants to put on a show in Dallas. If the former Maverick does play, then I feel solid about this Towns number. If he doesn't play, probably a loss. Our model has Brunson at 25.0 points and KAT 21.4.
