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

As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the New York Knicks, Keldon Johnson presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to bet on player points. At home, Johnson has been nothing short of a scoring machine, hitting the over in an impressive 12 of his last 17 games at the AT&T Center. Though his recent average of 5.2 points might raise some eyebrows, don't let that fool you; against the Knicks, he's historically stepped up, averaging nearly 10 points per game in their last few encounters at home.What's even more encouraging is his overall hit rate; he's managed to surpass the 6.5-point mark in 12 of his last 19 games. With an expected stat value nudging toward 10.49, it feels like a no-brainer to back Johnson in this matchup. Look for him to capitalize on the home court advantage and deliver when it counts.

Luke Kornet (San Antonio Spurs) Over 3.5 Points + Rebounds (-120)

When it comes to Luke Kornet, the numbers tell an intriguing story that suggests he's primed for an impactful night against the New York Knicks. Playing at home, Kornet's been a reliable contributor, averaging 6 rebounds in his last five matchups against this opponent. Moreover, at home, his consistency shines through, boasting an impressive hit rate of 16 out of his last 18 games. While his recent average of 2.8 points and 3.6 rebounds at home may seem modest, those figures don't tell the whole tale. His history against New York shows a tendency to step up, with an average of 4.8 points when they visit San Antonio. With the Spurs looking to capitalize on home court advantage, Kornet's combination of size and skill could easily push him over that 3.5 mark for points and rebounds. Given his solid track record, this could be a bet worth taking.

Mikal Bridges (New York Knicks) Over 9.5 Points (-154)

As the Knicks prepare to take on the Spurs, Mikal Bridges stands out as a prime candidate to exceed 9.5 points. Over the last five games, he's averaged 10.6 points overall, but when playing away, that number jumps to a striking 15.6. It's clear he thrives on the road, and history backs that up-he's hit over this mark in six of his last seven away games.

With an overall hit rate of 10 out of 13 games, Bridges is not just hitting his stride; he's consistently delivering. Given the stakes and the way he's been playing, it's hard to see him not surpassing that 9.5 threshold against San Antonio. The stage is set for him to shine.

Karl-Anthony Towns (New York Knicks) Over 16.5 Points (-108)

As the Knicks gear up to face the Spurs in San Antonio, all eyes should be on Karl-Anthony Towns to make an impact. Averaging 17.6 points in his last five away games, Towns is hitting his stride on the road. He's shown a knack for stepping up against tougher opponents, especially considering he's racked up an impressive 22 points per game against the Spurs in their recent matchups.The numbers don't lie; his overall hit rate stands at 12 out of 19, reflecting a consistent ability to exceed expectations. With the Spurs' defense still finding its footing, Towns should capitalize on this opportunity. At just 16.5 points, the value is there, especially given his recent form and the Knicks' need for scoring. Look for Towns to not only meet but exceed that mark on Sunday night.

De'Aaron Fox (San Antonio Spurs) Over 12.5 Points (-233)

When the New York Knicks roll into San Antonio, keep an eye on De'Aaron Fox. At home, he's been a scoring machine, averaging nearly 12.8 points against the Knicks in their last five encounters, and up to 19.2 points when playing in front of the Spurs' fans.

His recent form sees him averaging 14.4 points over the last five games, showcasing his ability to step up when it counts. The Spurs' offense flows through him, and with the Knicks' defense struggling against dynamic guards, expect Fox to take advantage of the home court atmosphere. Given his expected stats align with the recent trends and his history against this opponent, betting on De'Aaron Fox to score over 12.5 points feels like a solid play.
