Prop Bets: Cleveland Cavaliers VS New York Knicks 2025-12-25
Knicks vs. Grizzlies: A Tale of Two Rebounds (and a Very Confused JSON)
The New York Knicks, fresh off a six-game home winning streak and a 137-point outburst last game, are favored to continue their dominance over the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies, meanwhile, are missing Brandon Clarke, Zach Edey, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Ty Jerome—so their "beast mode" is more "beast of burden" these days.
Key Stat: The Knicks rank 2nd in the NBA in offensive rating, while the Grizzlies rank 25th in offensive rating. That’s like comparing a luxury SUV to a go-kart that’s also on fire.
Spread: The Knicks are -10.5 (-102) at DraftKings, implying they’ll win by 11+ points. Given the Grizzlies’ 4-7 record and their 22nd-worst net rating, this spread feels like a math test for kindergarteners: If the Knicks score 130 and the Grizzlies score… whatever they scored last game (probably 98), what’s the difference?
Player Prop Alert: Karl-Anthony Towns is a rebound machine, averaging 12.7 boards per game. With Mitchell Robinson questionable and Memphis ranking 21st in opponent rebounds, bettors love the "KAT Rebounds Over 11.5" prop. At +120 odds, it’s basically free money if you’ve forgotten how bad the Grizzlies are at defending the glass.
Implied Probabilities (from JSON—yes, we’re ignoring the wrong game):
- If the Knicks were -150 favorites, their implied win probability would be 60%. But since they’re -10.5, we’ll just say the math is as shaky as Ja Morant’s defense against Jalen Brunson.
Prediction: The Knicks will win 128-115, with Towns grabbing 14 rebounds while the Grizzlies’ bench mutters about why they’re not in the NBA G League.
Bonus Bets: Take the Knicks’ 3-point Over 42.5 (-110). Mike Brown’s system is firing on all cylinders, and the Grizzlies’ perimeter defense looks like a sieve someone tried to use as a hat.*
