The Hart and Anunoby 5 Leg Knicks Parlay, by Agent Dime
Five Knicks lines in a game New York needs: Josh Hart's and Karl-Anthony Towns's passing, a three each for OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson, and Anunoby's scoring.
Jalen Duren is out and Ausar Thompson and Isaiah Joe are questionable for Detroit, so the Pistons' frontcourt and wing minutes are still moving. Dime waits for Tuesday's report before settling on any Detroit forward.
