Nets at Knicks Best Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Karl-Anthony Towns Over 32.5 Points + Rebounds (-113)

The Knicks have been on a massive losing skid. They have lost eight of their last ten, and desperately need to get back on track against their intra-city rivals. The Knicks have won both matchups this season against the Nets by double-digits, and Karl-Anthony Towns has dominated those games. In the first matchup against the Nets, Towns had 28 points and 12 boards. In the second matchup, Towns had 37 points and 12 boards.

Towns has been a big part of the Knicks’ disappointing run, especially with his poor defensive play. However, one thing he has continued to do well is rebound the basketball. Last season, he had a career-high 12.8 rebounds per game, the second-most in the NBA. He once again ranks second in the NBA in rebounding with 11.6 boards per game. The Nets are the worst rebounding team in the league, ranking dead last in team rebounds per game. Towns had 12 rebounds in each of his first two games against the Nets this season, and should replicate those numbers in this matchup. He has at least 11 rebounds in six of his past seven games, including grabbing at least 18 rebounds in two of his past three.

If Towns grabs at least 11 rebounds again, he needs 22 points to get over this combined prop number. He has hit that mark in both of the Knicks’ home games since coming back from the West Coast. He has also comfortably cleared that number in both games against the Nets this season, averaging 32.5 PPG in the two games against Brooklyn. This game could be a chance for Towns and the Knicks to exercise some demons and put together a good performance.

Cam Thomas Under 15.5 points (-104)

It has been a disappointing season for Cam Thomas. Thomas had a breakout 2023-24 season and then played well in 2024-25, only to deal with multiple injuries that kept him out for most of the season. Thomas played only 25 games last season and has been bitten by the injury bug again this season. He has only played in 18 games this season, and of those 18, he has only started eight. The production has also been way off from Thomas, averaging just 17.3 points per game on 40.5% shooting from the floor.

Even since getting healthy, Cam Thomas has not been seeing the same amount of minutes as he has in the past. In 10 games since returning from injury, Thomas has yet to play more than 25 minutes. Something seems off with Thomas, and his offensive output the last couple of weeks has been awful. Over his past six games, Thomas is averaging just 9.8 points per game on 31.4% shooting. Thomas should not be much of a threat against the Knicks, despite New York’s defensive struggles as of late. Thomas has only cleared this number in one of his past six games, and should go under it again at Madison Square Garden.
