Ja'Kobe Walter (Toronto Raptors) Over 14.5 Points + Rebounds (+257)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Toronto Raptors roll into Madison Square Garden, all eyes should be on Ja'Kobe Walter for an intriguing player prop. While his recent averages may seem modest-8.6 points and 5 rebounds-his performance against the Knicks tells a different story. When facing them away, Walter's numbers jump to about 7.7 points and 2 rebounds. What stands out is his recent form; he's hit the Over in his last three games and boasts a solid 6-for-8 away hit rate. The Raptors are known to struggle defensively, particularly against versatile scorers like Walter, who can easily capitalize on mismatches. With the Knicks' defense focused on bigger threats, Walter's opportunity to exceed that 14.5 mark feels ripe. Expect him to step up, especially in an electric environment like the Garden, where players often shine. This could be a night for Walter to make his mark.

Jakob Poeltl (Toronto Raptors) Over 16.5 Points + Rebounds (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Raptors gear up to face the Knicks, Jakob Poeltl presents a compelling case for betting the over on his combined points and rebounds at 16.5. Despite averaging just 14 points and 4.8 rebounds over his last five games, his performance against New York tells a different story. Historically, Poeltl has managed to notch up 9 rebounds and around 8.4 points when facing this Knicks squad, and his away stats suggest he thrives on the road. What's more, Poeltl has hit this mark in five of his last seven games, showcasing his ability to elevate his game when it counts. With New York struggling to contain bigs lately, expect Poeltl to capitalize on his opportunities. Given his expected stat value of nearly 20, betting the over feels like a smart move as he seeks to make a statement in Madison Square Garden.
