| NBA | (571) Boston Celtics at (572) New York Knicks: Jalen Brunson Points + Assists | 7:40pm EDT - Apr 9/2026 |
The PLAY: Jalen Brunson Points + Assists Over 32.5 (-110)
The Knicks are hanging on by a hair in the Atlantic Division race as they’ll need to win their final three games along with the Celtics losing their final three games. These two go head to head at MSG tonight as we’ll look for Jalen Brunson to go over 32.5 points + assists. In three head-to-head meetings with Boston this season Brunson has averaged 33.7 points + assists and has averaged 34.1 points + assists over his last six games. It’s worth noting that going into this matchup Boston has a few key defenders listed as questionable in Jaylen Brown, Neemias Queta and Derrick White and if one or more of those guys are out or limited, it should open up Brunson more on the offensive end to facilitate and score. The Celtics did just allow 42 points + assists to Charlotte point guard LaMelo Ball with Jalen Brunson averaging 37.5 points + assists per 40 minutes this season and is coming off a 43 points + assists effort in a 108-105 win at Atlanta as we could see Brunson getting close to 40 minutes again with the division on the line and the team not playing since Monday. Let’s look for Brunson to be a play maker for the Knicks once again tonight going over 32.5 points + assists at home against arch rival Celtics on Thursday night.
