Karl-Anthony Towns Threes Prediction: Under 1.5 vs Pacers — March 17 NBA Prop Pick
Karl-Anthony Towns' threes prop is a sharp fade tonight against the Indiana Pacers. The New York Knicks' star shooter faces a Pacers defense that has tightened significantly in recent weeks, and Towns has been inconsistent from beyond the arc in his last five games. We're backing the Under 1.5 threes on March 17.
Karl-Anthony Towns Stats & Recent Form
Towns has averaged just 1.2 threes made over his last five games, a notable dip from his season average. The elite sharpshooter has cooled considerably, going 3-for-18 from three in two of his last three outings. While Towns remains one of the league's best floor spacers, cold stretches happen, and the timing here aligns perfectly with a difficult matchup. His usage rate has also dropped slightly as the Knicks' offense continues to evolve around their ball handlers.
Matchup Analysis: New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers
Indiana ranks eighth in three-point defense, holding opponents to just 34.2% from three over their last 10 games. The Pacers have shown a willingness to pressure shooters off the catch, and their length on the wing will make Towns' shot more difficult than usual. With the Knicks likely to win the pace battle, Towns may get fewer total three-point attempts, further reducing his probability of hitting two or more from downtown.
