Mikal Bridges (New York Knicks) Over 11.5 Points (-141)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Knicks prepare to host the Pelicans, Mikal Bridges is poised for a standout performance, making the over on his points prop of 11.5 a compelling bet. In his last five games at Madison Square Garden, Bridges has averaged 14.2 points, showcasing his ability to step up on home turf. What's particularly intriguing is his history against the Pelicans-he's dropped an impressive 23.8 points per game in those matchups at home. With the Pelicans struggling defensively, particularly against wings, Bridges could exploit those weaknesses to find open looks. The statistical edge is clear: he's not just hitting the over more often than not at home, but he's also pushing well above that threshold against this opponent. Given that he's been trending upwards with an expected stat value of 16.81, this feels like a prime opportunity to capitalize on Bridges' scoring potential.
