Top NBA Prop Bets for Bulls vs. Knicks on April 3, 2026
Zach Thompson highlights his top NBA prop bets ahead of the Bulls vs. Knicks matchup on April 3, 2026. The game tips at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBA TV and closes the regular-season series between the teams.
Game context and lines
DraftKings lists New York as a 14.5-point home favorite. The game total sits at 237.5 points. The Knicks enter at 49-28 and seek win number 50 this season.
New York has been strong at Madison Square Garden. Their home mark is 27-9. Chicago arrives at 29-47 with six games remaining.
The Bulls have lost nine of their last 11 games, including five straight. Chicago fell by 19 to the Pacers on Wednesday. The Knicks won by 11 at Memphis in their most recent outing.
Injury notes
Chicago lists Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, Mac McClung, Lachlan Olbrich, and Guerschon Yabusele as probable. Nick Richards is questionable. Jalen Smith and Anfernee Simons remain out.
For New York, Karl-Anthony Towns is listed as questionable with an elbow impingement. That status complicates Knicks game-planning and player props.
Top NBA prop bets to consider
Thompson targets player lines where usage and recent form align. All suggestions use DraftKings markets. Below are the recommended plays and the reasons behind each pick.
Josh Giddey — Over 17.5 rebounds + assists (-119)
Giddey is averaging roughly 17.6 combined rebounds and assists this season. He missed Wednesday’s game with hamstring tightness but is probable.
He has exceeded 17.5 in five of his last six appearances. Giddey also cleared the mark in 12 of his last 14 games. Two of three prior matchups with New York produced strong totals for him.
OG Anunoby — Under 19.5 points + assists (-108)
Anunoby averaged about 18.9 combined points and assists this year. He went over the line in a Wednesday outburst. That game lacked Jalen Brunson, who returns on Friday.
Before that spike, Anunoby fell below the line in 12 of 19 games. If Brunson suits up, Anunoby likely resumes a complementary role. Other Knicks, such as Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, and Mitchell Robinson, would absorb extra touches.
Tre Jones — Over 22.5 points + rebounds + assists (-108)
Jones has been a primary ball-handler for Chicago since the trade deadline. He averages 21.9 combined points, rebounds, and assists on the season.
Over his last 17 games, that figure rose to about 25.7 PRA. He cleared this prop in 12 games during that span. With Giddey back, Jones should benefit from improved offensive flow.
Bonus parlay piece: Josh Hart — Over 12.5 points (-123)
Hart is averaging 12.2 points per game this season. He hit the over in five of six contests before a quiet outing without Brunson.
Hart averaged 13.8 points in March, highlighted by a 33-point game versus the Pacers. Adding him to an SGP boosts potential returns, per DraftKings pricing.
How to use these selections
These picks aim to balance season averages with recent trends and matchup context. Monitor final injury reports before locking bets. Game script and Towns’ status could materially affect outcomes.
