Tuesday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Steph Curry Over 23.5 Points (-114)
Steph Curry scored 29 points against the Houston Rockets while playing just 26 minutes for the Warriors in his last game. He took 10 three-point attempts and had a usage rate of nearly 42%.
Tonight, Curry battles a Kings team ranked dead last in points allowed to point guards. The Kings also rank 30th in field goals made and are 29th in three-point rate against point guards. Curry might not have a nearly 42% usage rate tonight, but he’ll be close. Even in just 25 minutes, Curry should be able to reach at least 24 points. The Kings really struggle to defend point guards like Curry.
Curry scored 27 points in his most recent game against the Kings, after going 6-of-12 from downtown.
Deandre Ayton Under 10.5 Points (-132)
Deandre Ayton has scored at least 11 points in five of his last 10 games. However, he’s missed this line in three consecutive games against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ultimately, he’s scored at least 11 points in just two of his last six games against the Thunder.
The Thunder rank first in the NBA in points allowed to centers. They’re also second in the NBA in field goals allowed to centers. Meanwhile, Ayton has attempted fewer than seven field goals per game over the last 10 games. He’s taken just five field-goal attempts in two of his last three games against the Thunder.
Ayton hasn’t played more than 20 minutes in back-to-back games, either. Let’s play the under on his points prop.
Julius Randle Over 6.5 Rebounds (-110)
Julius Randle has earned at least seven rebounds in back-to-back games entering this one. He’s also averaged 11 rebound chances per game over the last 10 games. He’s set to face an Indiana squad ranked 29th in defensive rebounds allowed to power forwards.
Over the last 10 games, Randle had six games with at least 11 rebound chances and five with at least 13 rebound chances. You’d expect Randle to get at least 13 rebound chances against the Pacers, especially if he plays 30+ minutes.
Take a chance with Randle to add at least seven rebounds for the third straight game.
