## 🚨 Late Breaking Plays ### Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks **Side:** Karl-Anthony Towns: 20+ points | **Units:** 1.0 | **Label:** Lead Play Why: With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) ruled out for tonight's game, our pick leans into Towns’ expanded usage as the Knicks' primary interior threat against a Toronto frontcourt missing both Trayce Jackson-Davis and Collin Murray-Boyles. Coach Mike Brown confirmed the Knicks will not rest starters as they chase the Eastern Conference’s #2 seed, ensuring Towns remains the focal point against a Raptors defense he has already helped beat four times by double digits this season.

### Dallas Mavericks at San Antonio Spurs **Side:** De'Aaron Fox: 15+ points | **Units:** 1.0 | **Label:** Value Why: Fox enters tonight's matchup in peak form after a team-high 25-point performance on Wednesday and typically sees his usage soar when co-star Victor Wembanyama (questionable) sits, averaging 24.6 PPG in those 17 contests this season. He faces a Dallas frontcourt that has effectively surrendered the interior, ruling out Dereck Lively II for the season and listing Daniel Gafford as doubtful. With Dallas fielding a depleted roster of eight injured players while in 'full tank mode,' Fox's 18.5 PPG season floor is extremely secure against a defense missing its primary rim protection.

### Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks **Side:** Jalen Brunson: 25+ points | **Units:** 1.0 | **Label:** Value Why: We are targeting Brunson to hit this mark as he comes off a 25-point, 10-assist performance in yesterday's win over Boston, maintaining his 26.0 PPG season average. With the Knicks able to clinch the Eastern Conference's No. 3 seed tonight and currently riding a 12-game winning streak against Toronto, expect New York to lean heavily on their lead guard to finish the season sweep.
