For the second time this week — and fourth time this season — the New York Knicks and Orlando Magic will square off.
The latest: Saturday's matchup has a bit more cachet than the others, given that it's an NBA Cup semifinal. The Magic are 2-1 SU and ATS against the Knicks so far this season, but New York did claim a 106-100 home win last weekend.
Check out these Knicks vs. Magic prop picks for the game on Dec. 13, featuring a prop bet on Jalen Brunson.

Knicks vs. Magic prop picks
Best bet: Anunoby under 14.5 points (-110)
Anunoby got hot when he last faced the Magic, but they often hold him below this number.
Last Sunday, the ex-Raptor scored 21 points vs. the Magic while shooting 5-for-7 from deep.
But he'd finished with a single-digit point total in four straight against Orlando prior to that.

Tonight's projected total is 223.0 points, which is the lowest of these teams' four head-to-head matchups this year. It's also the lowest projected total that the Knicks have seen all season.
Maybe New York and Orlando will treat this NBA Cup semifinal like a playoff game, which would likely mean tighter defence and fewer possessions.
And keep in mind that both teams are playing stout defence as it is, ranking in the top 10 in defensive rating in their past 10 games.
Anunoby is playing the four right now for the Knicks, and that positional designation matters.
Orlando is allowing the fewest points per game to opposing power forwards, according to Fantasy Pros.
Key stat: Since joining the Knicks, Anunoby is averaging 12.6 PPG in seven matchups against the Magic.

Additional NBA prop predictions
Towns over 11.5 rebounds (-112): Towns only had eight rebounds in his lone matchup vs. the Magic this year, but I'm not letting one game dictate my prediction.
The 7-footer is averaging 12.0 RPG on the season and is 13-12 vs. this prop. He's also 3-2 against this number when facing Orlando as a Knick.
-> Bet on KAT as a rebounder vs. the Magic
Last time out, KAT snagged 16 rebounds against the Raptors in 31 minutes. Two games before that, he had 18 boards against the Hornets.
Though he has a sweet shot for a big man, Towns is still plenty capable of mucking it up around the rim. This is a fair price for the reigning third-team All-NBA centre.
