Look of the Day for Wednesday, Dec. 6: Melton should pad his PRA
We'd like to extend a big thank you to Kevin Durant for cashing his over points + assists prop on Tuesday night to get us back to 1-1 on the week in our Look of the Day. Let's go for two straight winners with another NBA combo prop bet for Wednesday night's slate.
Look of the Day: De'Anthony Melton over 20.5 points + rebounds + assists (-106 FanDuel)
De'Anthony Melton has embraced a more prominent role in the Philadelphia 76ers offense with Kelly Oubre out of the lineup, and the market still hasn't caught up. The shooting guard has played at least 30 minutes in eight of his last 10 games, and he's cleared 20.5 points + rebounds + assists in nine of 10.
This is also a great matchup for Melton against a Washington Wizards team that loves to push the pace and hates playing defense. The Wizards rank second in the NBA in pace, 29th in defensive rating and dead last in opponent assists per game and opponent rebounds per game. They've given up at least 130 points in four of their last five games, and the Sixers put up 146 in their first matchup this year.
More possessions lead to more individual statistics, and Melton will have plenty of opportunities to pad his PRA in what should be a fast-paced game.
