The New York Knicks are hoping to even their series with the Miami Heat in Game 4 on Monday night, but the Heat are favored at home after blowing the Knicks out in Game 3.
I'm not sold on either side in this matchup, so why not bet on some props?
Here are my three favorites for Game 4:
Knicks vs. Heat best NBA prop bets
- Julius Randle OVER 8.5 Rebounds
- Kyle Lowry OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made
- RJ Barrett UNDER 20.5 Points
Julius Randle OVER 8.5 Rebounds
Since returning to the lineup for the Knicks in Game 2, Randle has recorded 12 and 14 rebounds, dominating the glass with Mitchell Robinson being held to just five boards in each of the last two games.
Randle has been relentless in his pursuit of rebounds all season, averaging over 10 per game, and I think he's undervalued in this prop given the fact that he's playing close to 40 minutes per night.
Kyle Lowry OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made
Kyle Lowry has crushed the Knicks in two games in this series, hitting a combined 5-of-10 shots from beyond the arc in Games 1 and 3.
This postseason, Lowry has five games (including the play-in) where he's hit multiple shots from beyond the arc.
The usage for the veteran guard has been solid as well, as he's taken at least three shots from deep in eight of his last 10 games. I think he is undervalued against a Knicks team that has struggled to keep him in check in this series.
RJ Barrett UNDER 20.5 Points
This isn't a knock on RJ Barrett, who had played five great games in a row up until the team's loss in Game 3.
However, Miami made a key adjustment in that game, putting Jimmy Butler on Barrett and taking away the size advantage he had when guarded by Gabe Vincent earlier in the series.
When guarded by Butler in this series, Barrett is just 3-for-7 from the field with three turnovers. He's scored 21+ points in four of his eight playoff games, but I'm going to fade him here if Miami keeps the same defensive philosophy on Monday night.
