NBA Player Props Tonight for Thunder vs Knicks: Jalen Brunson Headlines My +435 SGP (Jan 10)

Publish Date: 01/10/2025
Fact checked by: Allan Howe

After putting on a show earlier this month, the Oklahoma City Thunder and New York Knicks will meet again on Friday night as the home side looks to regain some momentum after snapping their first three-game losing streak of the season.

With New York looking a bit vulnerable around the arc and the Thunder continuing to search for answers on the boards, we'll take a look at a few NBA player props in this one which oddsmakers have overlooked.

Let's build a same-game parlay for Thunder vs Knicks on Friday, January 10 and lay out a few props that will work well as standalone straight bets as well.

NBA Parlay Predictions for Thunder vs Knicks

DraftKings NBA Odds for Thunder vs Knicks SGP: +435

  • Jalen Brunson 25+ Points
  • Josh Hart 10+ Rebounds
  • Lu Dort 10+ Points

Our best betting promotions list has even more options for you to profit from if you are looking for more offers!

Jalen Brunson 25+ Points

It appears Jalen Brunson is ready to re-announce himself as a scorer after a rather inauspicious start to the season.

  • The star guard has taken a whopping 21 shots per game over his last eight, up more than three from his season average to get back to the volume we saw him achieve a season ago.

Brunson's hit this mark just three times over the stretch, but has averaged 26.4 points and stands a good chance at carrying the freight once again for New York in this matchup.

The guard narrowly missed this mark last time out against the Thunder with 22 points, but did get 23 shots away and should be in a friendly matchup given the recent trends for OKC.

It's been a strong two weeks in just about every shooting zone for the Thunder with the exception of the short mid-range, where they've performed at an average clip and will look to slow one of the maestros of this range in Brunson.

They've also allowed opponents to get to the rim at on of the highest clips in the NBA during this time, and that would suggest Brunson should have no issues getting free inside for buckets.

Josh Hart 10+ Rebounds

While the Thunder have very few weaknesses as a team, rebounding has certainly been one over the course of the last two seasons.

  • While Oklahoma City sits more than 20 spots lower than New York in overall rebounding rate in the last two weeks, its greatest deficiency has come on the defensive glass where it's dead last over that same timeframe.

We're not quite sure if we'll see Karl-Anthony Towns play here after he aggravated an injury last game, and as he played through pain against the Toronto Raptors he did relent a bit on the glass.

  • That should mean plenty more boards for Josh Hart, who's gone for double-digits in this column eight times in his last nine games.

Hart's playing time shouldn't be in question here, averaging more than 41 minutes in his last six games, and neither should the matchup.

Lu Dort 10+ Points

The Knicks have put together a rather complete showing on defense in the last two weeks, but it's been largely due to the fact that they've held their opponents to so many mid-range shots.

New York's 3-point defense has reverted back to its early-season form, ranking just 24th in the last two weeks, while it's sat bottom five at the rim to boot.

  • That's got me liking Lu Dort in this spot, considering the wing has taken the vast majority of his shots from 3 with a rather strong complement at the rim to make up almost 90% of his looks in total.

Dort's 3-point props are priced up here, but I do like his chances of filling up the scoring column and hitting the 10-point mark for a fourth time in six games. He did previously drop 11 on the Knicks last go around.
