Today's Top NBA Prop Bet Picks & Predictions, Friday 06/12 (Miles McBride Highlights): Smart Player Wagers

As the Knicks roll into San Antonio, all eyes should be on Mitchell Robinson, particularly when it comes to his combined points and rebounds. Sure, his recent averages of 4.8 points and 5.2 rebounds don't scream dominance, but let's dig deeper. When playing away, Robinson has found his groove, upping his averages to 5 points and 5.6 rebounds. Against the Spurs, he's upped his game even more, averaging 5.8 points and an impressive 7.6 boards in their last five matchups.With a hit rate of 12 out of 16 games away, he's proven to be a reliable contributor. The expected stat value of 13.56 suggests that this matchup is ripe for exceeding that 8.5 mark. With the Spurs struggling to contain big men, it's a golden opportunity for Robinson to make his presence felt. Betting on him to go over 8.5 feels like a smart play.

Mikal Bridges (New York Knicks) Over 9.5 Points (-156)

As the Knicks prepare to face the Spurs, all eyes should be on Mikal Bridges to eclipse the 9.5-point mark. He's been a scoring machine lately, averaging 15.6 points on the road in his last five games, a figure that jumps to an impressive 14 against teams like San Antonio. Bridges has found his groove, hitting the Over in 10 of his last 12 contests, showcasing his consistency. With a robust hit rate of 6 out of 7 away, he's clearly comfortable in enemy territory. The Spurs' defense has struggled to contain versatile scorers, which plays right into Bridges' hands. Given his expected stat value of nearly 16 points, taking the Over feels like a savvy play. With the Knicks' reliance on him for offensive production, expect Bridges to deliver a performance that keeps us cheering well past the 10-point threshold.

Dylan Harper (San Antonio Spurs) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-141)

As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the New York Knicks, all eyes are on Dylan Harper, but betting on him to hit over 1.5 threes might not be the wisest move. The stats reveal a compelling narrative: Harper has only averaged 0.8 threes at home lately and a mere 0.3 against the Knicks in San Antonio. While he's been on a hot streak overall with a perfect 3-for-3 in his last outings, it's crucial to note that his recent performances against the Knicks have been dismal, with just 0.4 threes made in their last five meetings. The Spurs' home court hasn't exactly been a launchpad for him either, as indicated by an average of 1.2 threes in his last five games. With a strong likelihood of him falling short, betting the under feels like the smart play here.

Landry Shamet (New York Knicks) Over 8.5 Points + Rebounds (-111)

Landry Shamet is primed for a standout performance as the Knicks face off against the Spurs this Sunday. Averaging 11.8 points and 1.6 rebounds over his last five games, Shamet has been a reliable contributor, especially on the road where he's upped his scoring to 13.6 points per game. Historically, he's shown an impressive ability to step up against the Spurs, posting around 8.8 points per game in similar matchups away. With a hit rate of 6 for 6 in his last six road games, Shamet is riding a wave of confidence. The Spurs' defense is vulnerable, which opens the door for him to easily surpass the 8.5 mark in combined points and rebounds. Given his expected stat value of 13.29 in this matchup, betting on the over feels not just safe, but a savvy investment in his upward trajectory.

De'Aaron Fox (San Antonio Spurs) Over 13.5 Points (-175)

As the Spurs prepare to host the Knicks, all eyes should be on De'Aaron Fox. Recently, he's been finding his rhythm, averaging 11.8 points over the last five games, but when the Knicks come to town, he tends to elevate his game. In their last five encounters, Fox has averaged 14.4 points against New York, and significantly, when playing at home, that number jumps to an impressive 19.2. With a home hit rate of 10 out of the last 14 games, Fox has shown he knows how to capitalize on familiar surroundings. The data suggests a solid expectation of 19.48 points, making the over on 13.5 a tempting play. Given that he's hit the over in 14 of his last 20 games, it's hard to ignore the value here. Expect Fox to light it up against a Knicks defense that might struggle to contain him.
