NBA prop bets: Let's keep the threes flying

It was quite a night here on Yardbarker if you followed our three-point targets, with three of our five targets laddering all the way up and making more than five threes each.

Let's aim to keep the momentum rolling on this NBA Saturday with three more targets for long-range makes.

James Harden

You'll see some familiar names here today. I don't control the schedule, and Harden once again finds himself opposite a good target for threes.

The Hornets give up the second-most threes per game and are allowing opponents to shoot the 10th-highest mark from deep.

Harden has been the highest-volume shooter on Philadelphia, averaging 7.8 three-point attempts per game in his last five.

Harden has switched off between making four or two threes, and by that pattern, he's due to go over this afternoon.

Betting options:

  • 3+ threes (+126 FanDuel)
  • 4+ threes (+300 FD)

Kyrie Irving

Another usual suspect in Kyrie Irving, who came through for us last game.

On Saturday night, Irving will see the Hawks, who allow the ninth-most threes per game and have let opponents shoot 36.4% from long-range (the fourth-highest rate in the NBA).

Irving has gone over 3.5 threes in six of his past eight and is averaging 9.63 three-point attempts in that span.

Betting options:

  • 4+ threes (+126 FD)
  • 5+ threes (+280 FD)

Zach LaVine

We wrap Saturday's target with Zach LaVine, who finds himself in a big game with his Bulls against the Miami Heat.

The Heat have allowed the seventh-most threes per game this season, which has always made them a good target in this study.

LaVine has picked up the shot volume lately, averaging 7.2 attempts from deep per game in his last five.

The attempts have really picked up against Miami this season, averaging 9.7 three-point attempts in three games against the Heat to go along with 4.3 threes made per game.

Betting options:

  • 3+ threes (-104 FD)
  • 4+ threes (+260 FD)

As a reminder, I place a .5 unit on each of these wagers unless specified otherwise. Good luck today in the NBA!
