OG Anunoby Points Prediction: Under 17.5 vs Knicks | March 20 NBA Pick
OG Anunoby's points prop is a sharp Under play on Friday night's Brooklyn-New York matchup. The Nets wing faces his former team, the defending champion Knicks, on March 20, and our model projects Anunoby to fall short of his 17.5-point line. Here's why we're backing the Under.
OG Anunoby Stats & Recent Form
Anunoby has averaged 15.2 points over his last five games, trending below this 17.5-point prop line. The 26-year-old has struggled with consistency since joining Brooklyn, posting just two games above 18 points in his last ten outings. His usage rate has dipped to 19.2% in March as the Nets' offensive pecking order solidifies around younger contributors. Against elite defenses like New York's, Anunoby typically sees increased defensive pressure that limits his scoring opportunities.
Matchup Analysis: Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks
The Knicks rank top-five in defensive efficiency and hold opponents to 44.1% from the field. New York's elite wing defense—anchored by proven perimeter stoppers—will likely shadow Anunoby and force ball movement away from his spots. The Nets are 6.5-point underdogs in a hostile environment at Madison Square Garden, which typically results in lower individual scoring outputs for supporting cast players. Anunoby's career splits against New York show a 14.8 PPG average, well below this line.
Our Anunoby Points Prop Pick for March 20
Under 17.5 Points (-128) — Despite the tighter odds, this is the sharper play. Anunoby's recent form, the Knicks' elite perimeter defense, and his historical underperformance in this matchup all align. Look for the Under to cash as New York controls tempo and limits Brooklyn's offensive rhythm on the road.
