The Los Angeles Lakers are riding a wave at the moment, winning each of their last 7 games. They will be tested at home tonight as they take on one of the elite teams in the Eastern Conference. The New York Knicks are in the top 5 of the NBA in road wins this season, and should offer a stern challenge. They are still well in the race for the 2nd seed in the conference and will be motivated to cut the Lakers’ streak short on a national stage. Let’s get into our Knicks vs Lakers Same Game Parlay picks for tonight’s matchup at 10:00 pm ET on TNT, while you can also find out all of our NBA picks for today’s slate.

Josh Hart under 0.5 threes (+120)
Josh Hart has been having issues from beyond the arc of late. His struggles started in January where he knocked down just 25% of his three-point attempts. That fell to 23.8% in February. Over his last 6 games, he has knocked down just 1 of his 11 three-point attempts, going without a shot from beyond the arc in 2 of those contests.
The Lakers are one of the best teams at defending the perimeter too, ranking 5th in opponent three-point percentage over the last 10 games. They have been allowing opponents to make just 32.4% of their attempts. Both teams have ranked in the bottom 10 of the league in pace which should reduce the number of possessions both sides see here. This does not seem like the game where Hart will break out of his slump.

Josh Hart to record a double-double – Yes (+165)
One thing that Hart has had success in doing is stuffing the stat sheet. He recorded a triple-double in his last meeting against the Lakers in February and could have similar success here. He remains the best rebounding guard in the league and has averaged 9.4 rebounds per game over his last 8 contests. The Lakers are 4th in the league over the last 10 games in three-point attempts, meaning there should be plenty of long rebounding opportunities for guards like Hart to chase down.
Jaxson Hayes is also far from a dominant rebounder too, averaging 5.2 per game over the last 10 contests. Hart should have a chance to sneak some offensive rebounds in too. The Knicks guard has double-digit points in 10 of his last 12 games and the assists could be a nice insurance on this pick too.

Jaxson Hayes over 1.5 steals & blocks (-135)
Lakers center Hayes has been a consistent rim protector over recent games. He has recorded a block in 15 of his last 17 games, including in his last meeting against the Knicks. His opponents are 25th in opponent blocks per game over their last 10 contests so have been prone to getting their shots swatted away. Hayes should be the one collecting them here.
In his last game against New York, the Lakers center also recorded 3 steals in the game. It tied his season high in steals so it would not be a surprise to see him manage at least 1 here tonight. He will be matched up against Karl-Anthony Towns, who is 2nd in usage on the Knicks roster. It should give the Lakers man plenty of opportunities to not only contest shots but to also pick up steals trying to deny him the ball.
