NBA Props: Let the threes fly
We continue on in the NBA with some tremendous looking games for threes, going back to some of our favorite shooters.
Keldon Johnson
Keldon Johnson is averaging 8.8 attempts from deep in his past five games, and has made five from beyond the arc in three of his past five games.
Saturday, Johnson gets a New Orleans defense that has allowed the ninth-most threes per game.
Yes, my process has been and will remain as simple as this.
Johnson met this Pelicans team just last week, shooting 2-for-8 from deep.
The volume was there, but I'll be betting just two steps of a ladder here. 5+ threes is +500 on FanDuel.
Betting options:
- 3+ threes (-132 FD)
- 4+ threes (+200 FD)
Kyrie Irving
I've been loving betting on Kyrie's threes, and glad to see he's opposite a good target today.
Irving has attempted 11+ three-point attempts in four straight games, volume I'm following.
The Heat have allowed the sixth-most threes per game this season and have struggled against point guards recently.
Irving not only has the shots you want, but he's getting the ball in the hoop as well. Irving has 5+ threes in four straight games, let's keep it rolling.
Betting options:
- 4+ threes (+120 FD)
- 5+ threes (+290 FD)
Desmond Bane
Bane and the Grizzlies get a Milwaukee team allowing the most threes per game, so of course we've looked their way this evening.
Bane is leading Memphis in three-point volume, averaging 7.8 attempts from long-range over his last five games.
With 11 made threes in his past two games, the hope here is he keeps it rolling. Without Ja Morant in the lineup, you would expect more of an emphasis on players like Bane, which is exactly what has been happening.
Betting options:
- 4+ threes (+112 FD)
- 5+ threes (+260 FD)
As a reminder, or if this is your first time reading, I'm placing .5 units on all of the options above, making each player a 1u bet. Good luck tonight!
