I think one of the best bets might be Jalen Brunson to be the points leader at +140.Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs is the current favorite, but I really think it is overpriced at -185.
Brunson is averaging 26.9 points per game this postseason, compared to Wemby, who is averaging just 23.2.In fairness, the matchups Brunson has had were easier, and this should be a harder series for him.I think the book isn't accounting for the Knicks selling out to stop Wemby whenever they can.
Wembanyama has averaged 30.4 points per game against the Knicks in his career, with two 40-point games, so I do see some justification.Since joining the Knicks, Brunson has averaged 32.8 points per game, but that is also inflated because he had a 61-point game against them.
Nonetheless, I'll back Brunson to be the leading scorer in the series.New York Knicks' Jalen Brunson reacts after scoring during the second half of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers in New York, New York, on May 19, 2026.(Seth Wenig/AP Photo)If you watched Game 7, you've probably already bet on Julian Champagnie from the Spurs to win this.
He was lethal in Game 7, and probably the reason that the Spurs won the game.He is averaging 2.6 threes in the postseason.
OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson are both averaging about 2.3 threes per game.Devin Vassell, of the Spurs, is at 2.3 himself.I probably would prefer Vassell over Champagnie, but I can't give you a great reason other than he plays more minutes usually, and does seem to be more involved in the offense.
However, Champagnie's role is to catch and shoot.ZERO BS.JUST DAKICH.
TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD.DOWNLOAD NOW!A dark-horse long shot that I like is Karl-Anthony Towns.
In the playoffs, Towns is averaging just 3.2 attempts, but is shooting at 48.9%.Towns isn't going to go to the basket.
He is a soft center.He prefers to shoot, and keeping Wembanyama out closer to the arc means the rest of the Knicks have an easier ti...
