NBA: Karl-Anthony Towns (Knicks) OVER 11.5 Rebounds
WHAT. A. DAY. Last night was one of the best nights of 2025 as we swept free plays 3-0, MLB VIP swept 5-0, and NBA VIP went 2-1, cashing Anthony Edwards OVER 23.5 Points as a max play 50* Banger!! We continue this momentum into today looking for another 3-0 free prop streak. We start things out in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals after the Pacers shocked the world yet again with a historic comeback. I fully expect the Knicks to handle business tonight and one spot I love is Karl-Anthony Towns to go OVER 11.5 Rebounds. He posted 12 in Game 1 despite the Pacers shooting the ball really well and his teammate Josh Hart snagging 13 boards. Towns ranked 2nd in the NBA in rebounding, averaging 12.8 RPG in the regular season and went over this line in 4 of 6 games in the Boston series. The Knicks will absolutely lock down tonight defensively which will force tons of misses by Indiana. The fact that Towns covered this line in Game 1 despite the hot shooting shows me he should get 13+ tonight. I love this spot: Take Karl-Anthony Towns OVER 11.5 Rebounds!
NBA: Jalen Brunson (Knicks) OVER 29.5 Points
We’ve been hot predicting the top players’ point totals so far in the Conference Finals and I expect another good performance out of Jalen Brunson tonight. It is essentially a must-win game and he can draw contact with the best of them. I fully expect him to knock down a few threes after he went just 1 of 6 in Game one while still scoring 43 points. He got to the line 14 times and should see 10+ free throws again tonight. Brunson’s usage rate skyrockets in clutch time and in must-win games, particularly at home. The books project another over here as they moved his line up, now 3.5 points above his season average and 7.5 points above his season average against the Pacers. I see no reason he doesn’t go for 35+ again tonight with a very focused dog-like mentality. Indiana is going to be aggressive defensively and he’s going to draw tons of fouls. Lock in Jalen Brunson OVER 29.5 Points!
MLB: Hunter Goodman (Rockies) OVER 1.5 Hits, Runs, RBIs
Onto the third free play in Major League Baseball and I like Hunter Goodman of the Rockies to go OVER 1.5 Hits, Runs, & RBIs. Yes, the Yanks should put up a big number and win this game at Coors Field, but the O/U is 11.5 runs so Colorado is expected to score a few against Schmidt and the Yankees. Goodman has been one of the only bright spots for Colorado this year posing a .282 batting average with 7 homers and 31 RBIs. Goodman is particularly productive in night games and is hitting .298 in the month of May. Hitting in the 3-hole tonight he should see some good pitches and likely have runners on base. The top of the Rockies lineup isn’t as bad as one might think and the numbers project Goodman for a nice statistical evening. Let’s smash this baseball play: Take Hunter Goodman OVER 1.5 Hits, Runs, & RBIs!
