Jose Alvarado (New York Knicks) Over 9.5 Points + Rebounds (+294)

As the Knicks gear up to face the Spurs, keep an eye on Jose Alvarado for an intriguing player prop on points plus rebounds.

Historically, Alvarado has performed better against the Spurs, putting up an average of 6 points per game in their last away matchups. With the Knicks looking to exploit the Spurs' defensive lapses, Alvarado could find himself in a position to contribute more than usual.

Given the right circumstances, pushing past the 9.5 mark feels not just possible but likely. Don't overlook this opportunity to capitalize on a player who's poised for a breakout moment.

Keldon Johnson (San Antonio Spurs) Over 7.5 Points + Rebounds (-208)

As the Spurs gear up to host the Knicks, all eyes should be on Keldon Johnson to make a significant impact on the court. With an expected stat value of 14.65, his prowess in contributing both points and rebounds makes the Over 7.5 a tantalizing proposition. Look at his recent form: at home, he's averaged 9.6 points against the Knicks over their last few matchups, coupled with a solid 5.4 rebounds. That's a considerable uptick when compared to his overall numbers. Moreover, Johnson has hit this mark in 17 out of his last 20 home games, showcasing a level of consistency that's hard to ignore.

Recently, he's averaged 14.4 points and 3 rebounds overall, but those numbers don't tell the whole story. Facing the Knicks, who struggle defensively, especially against dynamic guards, Fox's scoring potential skyrockets.
