Prop Bomb Backs Brunson Under 9.5 Rebounds-Plus-Assists After Knicks Take Game 1

Summary
Jalen Brunson under 9.5 rebounds plus assists is Prop Bomb's top player prop for Friday's NBA Finals Game 2 between the Knicks and Spurs.
Game 1 backed that view: Brunson scored 30 points on 31 shots but finished with just three rebounds and two assists in New York's 105-95 comeback win.
San Antonio's switching defense is central to the bet, with Mitch Johnson's plan keeping Brunson in isolation scoring mode rather than forcing help rotations that create kickout assists.
Brunson's role also supports the under, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart handling more playmaking while New York often parks Brunson on the perimeter defensively, limiting rebound chances.
The recommendation comes with New York up 1-0 after erasing a 14-point deficit in Game 1 to steal home-court advantage in the series.
