Knicks vs. Cavaliers prediction: NBA Saturday player props, picks, odds

The Knicks face the Cavaliers on Saturday, with the article backing Karl-Anthony Towns to exceed 12.5 rebounds. Towns has taken on a larger rebounding role with Mitchell Robinson out, and the pick rests on his strong recent form and a favourable rest advantage.

Towns is averaging 13.6 rebounds across eight games this season, including at least 12 in five straight and an average of 14.6 over that run. He recorded 12 rebounds in just 25 minutes against Chicago on Wednesday; the Knicks have had two days off, while Cleveland will be playing the second game of a back-to-back. Cavaliers centre Jarrett Allen, who averages 7.8 rebounds, is also uncertain after a right knee contusion, and the suggested bet is Towns over 12.5 rebounds at odds of -130.
