Opening Prediction:
Mackenzie begins with a confident prediction that the New York Knicks will force a Game 7, stating:
“I think the Knicks force a game seven, we get more basketball, everybody's happy.â€
Main Bet Focus – Karl-Anthony Towns:
Rivers’ primary betting angle revolves around Karl-Anthony Towns (KAT), citing his consistent performance:
“Carl Anthony Towns, who's gone over his prop in four or five games in this series.â€
Matchup Advantage vs. Miles Turner:
He breaks down why Towns is effective against Miles Turner:
“Carl Anthony Towns loves his matchup versus Miles Turner.â€
Although Towns is described as a strong shooter for his size, Rivers emphasizes that he doesn't rely on volume three-point shooting:
“He's a really good shooter for a big man, but he's not Steph Curry. He doesn't want to shoot eight threes a game.â€
Playstyle and Offensive Approach:
Rivers explains Towns' versatile offensive style:
“He's a seven footer, he can post up, but he's not Hakeem Olajuwon... What he wants to do is face up, use his speed, and drive to the basket.â€
Towns utilizes the threat of his three-point shot to create driving opportunities, especially against defenders like Pascal Siakam and Miles Turner.
