The New York Knicks are now just 48 minutes away from hoisting the Larry O’Brien Trophy for the first time since 1973. While this NBA Finals series now moves to San Antonio at the Spurs’ home arena, there’s no doubt the visitors will look to emerge from the gate swinging in Game 5. Karl-Anthony Towns has been incredible throughout the postseason, but what will can he summon one more elite performance in a potential closeout game to etch his name in the NBA’s history books?

Here are the top Karl-Anthony Towns prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Saturday’s Knicks vs. Spurs Game 5 in the NBA Finals.

Best Karl-Anthony Towns prop bets

This postseason has clearly been the best of Karl-Anthony Towns’ career. His scoring outputs aren’t eye-popping by any means with just 16.7 PPG, but he’s done so on truly elite shooting splits. A 56.7% FG% and 47.3% 3P% are stellar for the big man, and with a FT% of 90.9%, he’s getting it done at the line as well. In total, those marks come out to a 70.1% TS%, which is a mark only the league’s most efficient scorers ever hit. His impact elsewhere in the box score is also notable, bringing in double-digit rebounds with 10.6 boards a night. In the assists column, Towns has pitched in 5.2 dimes a game as well, flashing passing chops and doubling his previous career high in the postseason.

Towns played two great games on the road to begin this NBA Finals series. He notched 18 points, 12 rebounds and four assists in the first outing, then scored 21 points with 13 boards and four dimes in the second. However, he’s hit a brief patch of quieter production over the last two outings. He scored 11 points with eight rebounds in Game 3, then followed it up with a 13-point, 10-board double-double with just five total shot attempts in Game 4. Overall, that puts him at 15.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in this NBA Finals series.

Tonight, DraftKings Sportsbook lists Towns’ prop bet lines at O/U 16.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 three pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line comes in at 30.5.

While Towns’ scoring has taken a slight downturn over the last two games, I’m bullish on him pumping those numbers back up a little bit. In these playoffs, he’s gone over 16.5 points 11 times over the course of 18 total appearances. That includes two hits on this over during this series against the Spurs. Here’s the thing. It’s unlikely that Towns is held to just five shot attempts again on Saturday night, especially since he’s averaged double that mark with 10.0 FGA a game in this postseason run. He doesn’t need tremendous volume to exceed the 16.5 line on his points market when he’s scoring this efficiently, and he’s also getting to the charity stripe over four times a game as well while hitting most of those tries.

Yes, Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs’ defense are a tough matchup. Towns has been so good over the last two months that it simply may not matter. Assuming his workload more closely resembles the standard night here rather than the quiet offensive showing from Game 4, he should get right back over 16.5 points this evening in a pivotal matchup.

Best bet: Karl-Anthony Towns over 16.5 points (-106)
