Best Knicks-Lakers NBA Player Prop | Immanuel Quickley
Immanuel Quickley O/U 9.5 Rebounds + Assists
Immanuel Quickley has found himself at the doorstep of winning the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award. He’s currently tied with Boston Celtics point guard Malcolm Brogdon at -110 to win win the award.
Quickley was one of the few Kentucky top prospects to stay for more than 1 year. In his sophomore season, which was cut short by COVID-19, Quickley averaged 16 points per game and was selected with the 25th pick in the NBA Draft. Much like his college backcourt mate Tyrese Maxey, the 76ers and Knicks were fortunate their college seasons were cut short. The duo was primed to shine in the NCAA tournament.
The 23-year-old is shining now as the temporary starting point guard and has taken over the gambling community in terms of best NBA player prop bets to back. In his last 5 games without Brunson, he’s averaging over 22 points per game, 6.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and is even coming off a double-double for only the 7th time in his career. The Lakers and their fast-paced offense are perfect for Quickley’s skillset. He’s averaging over 11 assist opportunities in his last 3 games while leading the Knicks offense. Julius Randle will undoubtedly register the highest usage rate for the Knicks but don’t be surprised if we see Quickley take over the game as he did in Boston in double overtime last Sunday.
