NBA prop bets: Two three-pointer targets

We lost all three of our NBA bets on Saturday, but I've found that after down days, a winning one isn't far behind.

Let's see if that can continue here on Sunday, with two three-pointer props to wrap our week of basketball betting.

Jayson Tatum

Tatum is rolling, averaging 9.7 three-point attempts per game in his last 10 and making five-plus in four straight games. On Sunday, he'll get the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are allowing the sixth-most threes per game.

I love Tatum's recent hot streak and this opponent, and in a massive game in front of the Celtics faithful, I expect Tatum to show out.

Betting options:

  • 4+ threes (-120 FanDuel)
  • 5+ threes (+200 FD)

Kyrie Irving

I know, Kyrie just burned us Saturday, going 1-of-5 from deep, but he deserves a chance to make up for it on Sunday night.

This is his first game in Brooklyn this year, with the vaccine mandate lifted for city entertainers, making this an exciting evening for Irving.

Beyond that narrative, it's just a good spot for a guy who has been shooting a ton of threes (besides Saturday night).

The Nets will face the Hornets, a team we have repeatedly targeted. Charlotte allows the second-most threes per game and has let opponents shoot 35.9% from deep, the eighth-highest mark in the NBA.

In Irving's lone game against this team this season, he made nine threes.

Despite Saturday's five attempts, Irving is still averaging 10.2 three-point shots per game in his past five and 8.8 in his last 10.

I'm giving him another chance against a soft opponent.

Betting options:

  • 4+ threes (+102 FD)
  • 5+ threes (+245 FD)

Good luck tonight, let's get some threes!
