The New York Knicks are having a great postseason run. Jalen Brunson is leading the way.
Brunson to Dominate Game
Jalen Brunson is the New York Knicks’ clear leader. He has utterly dominated this Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In Games 1 and 3, Brunson scored 38 and 30 points, respectively. In Game 2, he dished out 14 assists.
The Cavaliers’ defense focused on Brunson in Game 2, holding him to 7-for-16 from the field. He solved that in Game 3, going 10-for-19 from the field and getting to the free-throw line 12 times.
Brunson’s Scoring Prowess
Brunson is a bucket-getter first. Expect Brunson’s true nature to show itself. Every Brunson bucket should have a deflating effect on the Cavs.
Brunson has shot 60% or better from inside the arc in every game of this series. Emphasising that will only help his scoring.
- Jalen Brunson Over 26.5 points (-110 at bet365) is a recommended bet.
- Brunson scored 38 and 30 points in Games 1 and 3.
- He went 2 of 17 from beyond the arc through three games.
Knicks’ Clinching Games
New York won so handily in each clinching game in the last two rounds. Brunson did not play even 29 minutes in either game. Fading his assists prop is actually a bet on the Knicks.
If Brunson is scoring, then the game should get away from Cleveland.
