Mikal Bridges (New York Knicks) Over 14.5 Points + Rebounds (-159)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Knicks gear up to host the Celtics, Mikal Bridges stands out as a prime candidate to exceed the 14.5 points and rebounds mark. He's been quietly impressive, averaging 14.6 points and 2.6 rebounds over his last five games. However, when the Celtics are on the other side, Bridges has consistently upped his game, averaging 18.4 points against them. In his recent home outings, he's managed an impressive 16.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game against Boston, showcasing a favorable matchup that suggests he'll thrive in front of the home crowd. With a hit rate of 2 out of 3 recently and an expected stat value of 20.56, it seems likely he'll surpass that 14.5 threshold. Given his comfort at Madison Square Garden, betting on Bridges to deliver is a compelling play for this pivotal matchup.
