Best Rockets vs. Knicks prop predictions

Josh Hart prop pick: Over 18.5 points and assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hart posted a triple-double in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, finishing with 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists. He played 38 minutes and will continue to be a high-usage player if OG Anunoby (questionable) is sidelined on Monday.

Hart has cleared this combo prop in four of his past six games, finishing with two triple-doubles and one near triple-double during that stretch. He’s attempted double-digit shots four times over that span, illustrating his workload entering this matchup.

I project him to come close to 20 points and assists against the Rockets, so I’m grabbing this -110 value before tipoff.

Josh Hart prop pick: To record a double-double ⭐⭐⭐

As tempting as Hart’s triple-double odds are at FanDuel (+1500), I’ll settle for the plus-money price on him to record a double-double. This line is as high as -110 across our best prop betting sites.

Hart nearly averages a double-double, with 14.2 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. He’s also become more involved as a passer, recording 8.2 assists over his previous five contests. Hart has multiple paths to a double-double against the Rockets.

Best odds: +105 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 48.78%

Dillon Brooks prop pick: Under 13.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

Dillon Brooks is on a heater for Houston since scoring 36 points on 10 triples against the Boston Celtics on Jan. 27. He has cleared this scoring prop three times in his previous four matchups.

I’m banking on some natural regression for Brooks, who is averaging 13.6 points per contest. The Knicks have ranked eighth in defensive rating over the past two weeks, which is why I project Brooks to finish below 13 points in this game.
