76ers vs. Knicks NBA Betting Picks + Odds Shopping
Finding the most profitable NBA betting picks has never been easier. The newly updated OddsShopper tool is like the Amazon of sports betting. Simply filter, sort the page and find the NBA best bets within seconds, as seen below.
Kemba Walker Under 3.5 Assists (-165) at DraftKings Sportsbook
As shown by the GIF above, sorting the player props for this game by the expected win percentage brings this prop to the very top. The OddsShopper tool gives this Kemba Walker assist prop an 81% chance to hit the under and a 30% ROI.
Not only has Walker put up low assist totals this season, but his minutes have also dropped in all three games: 36, 22 and 19. Tonight Awesemo projects him for 27.3 minutes but only 2.37 assists. Walker has a usage rate below 20% in all three games to go along with his dropping minutes. Going under this prop in all three games this season, there is no reason to think that will change tonight.
Evan Fournier Over 14.5 Points (+100) at DraftKings Sportsbook
Part of the reason Walker’s numbers and usage are down is the role Evan Fournier plays. He has been great for New York thus far, posting a usage rate above 20% in all three games this season. Fournier also has scored 18 or more in two of the three games this season, but he had an off shooting night last time out (3-for-11). Still, his usage and role show Fournier will be given every opportunity to hit the over in this matchup. Awesemo’s projections have Fournier slated for 17.09 points tonight. The OddsShopper tool gives this prop a 69% to go over and a 37% ROI.
Alec Burks Under 10.5 Points (-115) at Caesars Sportsbook
The addition of these other scorers, as well as the improved play of Obi Toppin, has led to a slow start for Alec Burks this season. It also looks like this could end up being the norm, assuming everyone is healthy. Burks was known for being a scoring spark for the Knicks last season. However, he has topped double-digit scoring just once this season. He also has played under 20 minutes in two of the three games this season and attempted seven or fewer shots in those games. As things stand right now, Burks’ role is not large enough bet any over with confidence. Awesemo’s projections have Burks slated for 7.83 points tonight. The OddsShopper tool gives this prop a 77% to go over and a 44% ROI.
