How does Knicks trade for OG Anunoby impact future bets? | SNY

All right the next they tweaked their roster before the new year they acquired Wing ogan anobi from the Raptors and they sent RJ Barrett and Emanuel quickley to Toronto but what does this mean in terms of betting on the nicob backers for the rest of the season let’s

Break down how this trade impacts Wagers on this edition of hitting the books and we’re going to do it with a contributor to the Action Network My Guy Brian fona who joins me now Brian how are you doing OG Anan new we finally got traded everybody’s very excited um didn’t

Expect them to wind up with the Knicks though I will say that much yeah I think a lot of people didn’t especially with the pending lawsuit that was out there between the two teams I think that was a shock for a lot of people but we’re

Going to talk about some of the betting stuff around the nickers now and Brian when there’s a trade sometimes there’s movement in terms of the odds to win a championship winning the conference or the division Etc how did the nicob backers acquiring an anobi affect their

Odds on future bets such as the ones I just mentioned yeah not a lot um as expected because this move is not something that I think changes the Nick’s Fortune dramatically as in terms of you know contendership winning a title anything like that I think it’s a move that you

Make because he better fits he being o ananie better fits than Emanuel quickley then RJ Barrett and you have to give to get so this is a trade that’s supposed to hurt a good Trad are supposed to hurt and I think this is a trade that could

Be good for both teams in terms of the line movement though there hasn’t been a lot you still look at the sports books and you see that the Celtics are the favorites you have the Bucks up there you have the Sixers you have the Heat usually in that order and then you have

Some sort of you know Nicks Cavaliers whatever the case may be Cavaliers Nicks both to win the east at plus 2,000 plus 2500 each depending on where you look the order sort of can flip-flop from book to book but not a lot of line movement on the oana Newbie front to be

Honest all right so not a lot of line movement there at all and anobi as you said doesn’t really move the needle for the Knicks title chances this season even though that’s not the case he appears to be an upgrade for the team at forward if you’re looking to bet the

Knicks throughout the 2023 2024 NBA season where do you think betters can find Value well if you think the Knicks are going to make another move like I do now I don’t know when that move is going to be but I think the OG an anubi move is

Clearly the move before the move because the Knicks maintained all their first round picks they gave up a really good second rounder but they maintained all their first round picks in this trade so if you think the Knicks are going to actually follow this up with a splash

Then maybe there’s some value in betting them to win the east or win the division or whatever the case may be probably not the division because the Celtics are going to you know they have a big lead the Sixers and you probably don’t want to deal with that but if you think

They’re going to get Donovan Mitchell mid season which we have questions as to how much he’s going to fit with Jaylen Brunson sure the size could be an issue is Julius Randle viable late in the year all those things are caused for concern but if you are an OG anobi believer more

Than me because I think he’s been kind of overrated throughout this whole trade process though I still think he’s very good and functional role player one of the better role players that you can probably trade for but I think both those things can exist but with the

Knicks in terms of the odds if you think they’re going to make another splashy move yeah you can sprinkle a future on them because that move could be this season I’m inclined to think Dexter though if you’re looking at a move this season I’m not sure how great it’s going

To be because realistically maybe Donovan Mitchell is the best you can do maybe it’s a Deon Murray I don’t know how much that changes the fortune of the Knicks it kind of depends on what else goes on the roster what stays or whatever the case may be but ultimately

I kind of think this is what it is for now and that’s fine and it doesn’t change how I’m going to bet them one way or the other but if they go on a nice little run you know maybe maybe there’s some some validity to them making move

This season as supposed to this summer yeah that’s something to absolutely keep your eye on with the Knicks going forward whether they makeing moves if they make another move in it’s splashy we know the odds will definitely change last thing for me Brian you know that some betters like to focus on player

Props focusing on anobi what are some good player prop categories to keep your eye on with him now that he is in the Knicks uniform yeah I think you’re looking at points threes in defense we’ll see what those are when he does get there but he

Did lead the NBA in steals last year 1.9 per game only at 1.0 this year so you’re expecting an increase and you’re expecting him to contribute on that end heavily whether it’s numerical or not and that’s something that the Knicks traded for knowing that three-pointers because big reason he’s here space the

Floor because RJ Barrett kind of struggles to do that you need a spacer next to Julius Randle and Jaylen Brunson especially when the former is struggling from three-point range as he has uh during the season and OG an anubi is going to be somebody that they’re going

To rely on to stretch the floor so I think you look at points and you look at threes the points we’ll see where he’s going to be slotted at he’s averaging around 15 he’s been averaging around 15 17 game for the last four seasons or so

Since he really broke through as a core Raptor so it’s probably going to be in that sort of range I think that you know he’s somebody that I’m probably not going to look at uh initially but I’d be curious to see what it is what that

Looks like I think it’s more of a wait and see for but in in totality I don’t think this changes their Fortune a ton in terms of big picture but that’s because I would grade this move with an incomplete because this feels very move before the move because I think

Something bigger potentially is coming down the line because the Knicks maintained all their draft Capital all right there you go Brian Fon contributor to the atche network giving Nicks fans a little bit of Hope about a move that might be coming down the line and what

You should look for in terms of betting the Knicks or betting on o and in terms of player props Brian appreciate the Insight we will talk soon and happy New Year man absolutely anytime Happy New Year
