Monday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
This Season: 37-41 (+1.95 units) | Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook
Zach LaVine Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-120)
Zach LaVine has struggled from beyond the arc since joining the Kings. In three games, he's just 4-of-20 from three-point range, and he's only made more than two threes in one of those contests. While the shooting percentage is worrying, he's putting up plenty of attempts, which gives me hope for tonight.
This season, LaVine is averaging 3.1 three-pointers per game and is shooting 43.1% from deep. It's just a matter of time before he gets back on track from long distance. Tonight's matchup is a tough one, as the Mavericks are allowing just 13.2 three-pointers per game. That's the 10th-fewest in the league, and they've been incredible over their last three contests. But they rank just 22nd in opponent three-point percentage, so if LaVine puts up as many shots as he has been, I expect him to break out of his shooting funk.
Bobby Portis Jr. Under 10.5 Rebounds (-115)
Bobby Portis Jr. is on fire to start February. He's pulled down at least 13 rebounds in all three of his games and he's averaging 15 rebounds per game to start the month. These performances have brought his season average up to 8.4 rebounds per game, giving oddsmakers a lot of confidence in Portis tonight. But don't fall for the trap. The under is the right play.
Before Portis' current streak, he pulled down more than 10 rebounds in just one of his previous 11 games. In January, he only averaged 7.5 rebounds per game. This season, he's pulled down double-digit rebounds in back-to-back games just three times. Before his current three-game stretch, he'd never pulled down double-digit rebounds in three consecutive games. The Warriors give up the sixth-most rebounds per game, but it doesn't matter. This number is too high.
Goga Bitadze 10+ Points (+170)
Goga Bitadze is averaging nine points per game, but he's only scored more than six points in one of his last six contests. What's most alarming during his current stretch of games is that he's attempted two or fewer field goals in four of those six contests. This is a player averaging 6.1 field goals per game. While he's shooting 62.6% from the field, he has no chance of hitting this number from the free-throw line alone if he doesn't also put up shots.
But I like Bitadze's chances of breaking out of his slump tonight. The Hawks are allowing 50 points per game in the paint. That's the sixth-most in the NBA. Nearly all of Bitadze's damage comes from inside the paint. Additionally, the Hawks are allowing the fifth-most points per game in the league. While Bitadze isn't a key part of the Magic's offense, he should have plenty of opportunities in a high-scoring game.
