Check out the top Karl-Anthony Towns prop bet ahead of Monday’s NBA playoff Game 4 between the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The New York Knicks have a chance to party like it’s 1999 on Monday, looking to complete the sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Rocket Arena.
New York has bulldozed through the Eastern Conference bracket and is now just one win away from its first NBA Finals appearance since the turn of the century. The Knicks will continue leaning on star big man Karl-Anthony Towns as they try to close out the series and secure valuable rest before a potential battle with either the Spurs or the Thunder, who are locked in a heavyweight clash in the West.
Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. New York is a 2.5-point road favorite with -135 moneyline odds, while Cleveland is a +114 underdog.
Ahead of Game 4, let’s dive into the top Karl-Anthony Towns prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Knicks are playing arguably their best basketball in franchise history. The team is in complete sync on both ends of the floor, winning 10 consecutive playoff games with a spit-take-inducing +225 point differential — the largest point differential over any 10-game stretch in NBA history, regular season and playoffs included.
At the center of it all is Karl-Anthony Towns, acquired ahead of last season to help lift New York back into title contention. And yet, their surge hasn’t been fueled by his scoring.
Why?
Because it doesn’t need to be.
Towns, 30, is averaging just 15.4 points across New York’s 10-game winning streak, topping 17.5 points in only three of those contests. The six-time All-Star has embraced more of a facilitator role while several of his teammates have caught fire, averaging 6.9 assists per game — more than double his regular-season mark of 3.0 — over that stretch.
In fact, Towns has been the Knicks’ fifth-leading scorer since the team reached the Eastern Conference Finals. His 14.7 points per game against Cleveland trail Jalen Brunson (29), Mikal Bridges (19.7), Josh Hart (17), and OG Anunoby (16). While Towns reached 18 points in Game 2, he settled for 13 in Games 1 and 3.
The Knicks are firing on all cylinders right now, and Towns appears comfortable taking a backseat offensively to prioritize feeding the hot hand. Expect another modest scoring performance from the star big man as New York closes in on a trip to the NBA Finals.
