The NBA Cup returns on Tuesday with the quarterfinals, but first there is a single game between the New York Knicks and the Toronto Raptors on Monday night.

New York faces the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday, but would like to get a win over the 7-17 Raptors tonight to go into this matchup on a strong note.

Meanwhile, Toronto is still rebuilding – but things looked much better with Scottie Barnes in the lineup, going 5-8.

I have two plays in mind in this matchup – both on the prop market – with Karl-Anthony Towns listed as questionable for the Knicks.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

Jalen Brunson OVER 10.5 rebounds and assists (-115) – 0.5 units

Jalen Brunson is having the best season of his career passing the ball, averaging 7.7 assists per game and has finished with double figures in six games so far this season.

Additionally, Brunson is averaging 2.9 rebounds per game and managed 10.5 rebounds and assists in 12 of his 23 games and three of his last four matchups.

If Karl-Anthony Towns misses this game, Brunson should have the ball in his hands as much as possible, and he had 10 assists and four rebounds without a KAT on Saturday night. Toronto is allowing over 25 assists per game this season.

Scottie Barnes Double-Double (-120) – 0.5 units

Scottie Barnes enters this game averaging 21.0 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game and has posted a double-double in seven of his 13 games this season and six of his last seven meetings overall.

Barnes plays the ball at a high rate, but I like the double-double prop for him as we could benefit from a great performance on the glass or moving the rock tonight.

With Immanuel Quickley (elbow) out of the lineup, Barnes has certainly taken on more of a playing load and increased his ceiling as a double-double or triple-double target.
