Jalen Brunson's historic scoring outburst is being reflected in the betting market. The New York Knicks star point guard's Over/Under point total for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers is set at 37.5 at most sportsbooks. It's the second straight game that Brunson's point total has been set that high, also holding a 37.5 point total ahead of the Knicks' Game 1 win on Monday. Of course, there's a good reason why Brunson's total is as high as it is.
Brunson's point total began to climb again following his 39-point performance in the Knicks' Game 3 loss to the 76ers in the first round, climbing back up to 31.5 for Game 4. Brunson's 47-point outing in Game 4 against the 76ers led to his point total reaching 33.5 for Game 5. It remained at that number for Game 6 of that series. With the streak, Brunson has gone over his point total in each of the last five games.
