NBA props: Back to three-pointers made

On Friday, we correctly got a Seth Curry game, had Desmond Bane cover, but failed to get the made shots from Keldon Johnson.

In summation, I call that a fine Friday of prop betting.

We're back in the NBA for this Saturday slate, with three prop targets for three-pointers made.

This approach remains extremely simplistic. The only thing I'm doing is looking at the teams who let up the most threes per game and targeting a player who shoots the most from deep.

Regardless of the simplicity, it's been effective, so who are we to question the numbers?

Let's get to the targets for Saturday.

Anthony Edwards

No team lets up more threes than the Milwaukee Bucks, and it's the Timberwolves who get the pleasure of capitalizing early Saturday evening.

The Bucks have also been generous to guard scoring, which helps us feel even better about a big Anthony Edwards game.

Edwards last five games show an intriguing boost to his shot volume from deep.

He has one game against San Antonio where he only shot twice from long-range, but in the four others, he finished with eight attempts twice and 11 attempts twice.

Add it all up, and it's an average of 8.0 three-point attempts per game from Edwards in his past five.

Edwards is coming off a 6-of-11 game, so let's bank on the efficiency continuing to flow tonight.

Betting options:

• 3+ threes (-142 FanDuel)
• 4+ threes (+172 FD)
• 5+ threes (+420 FD)

Khris Middleton

Sticking with this game, Minnesota also lets up a lot of threes, the seventh-most in the NBA.

Middleton has the steadiest shot volume on this Bucks team, averaging 7.3 attempts per game in his last 10. 

The makes have been accompanying these shots, as Middleton is over 2.5 threes in seven of his last 10 games.

Interestingly, Middleton shot just 1-of-8 against this Minnesota team when they last met. The volume was there, and that is all we care about here.

Betting options:

• 3+ threes (-122 FD)
• 4+ threes (+210 FD)
• 5+ threes (+530 FD)

Luka Doncic

I am absolutely loving the volume I see from Luka Doncic, who has attempted 10+ three-pointers in seven straight games.

That's just gorgeous volume, so we load him up for a big game against Charlotte.

On the year, the Hornets are letting up the second-most threes per game and allow opponents to shoot the 10th-best percentage from deep against them.

Doncic has netted more than four threes in five of his last seven games, but again, I don't even really look at the makes, it's all about the shots.

Shots, he has. Let's make some tonight.

Betting options:

• 4+ threes (-122 FD)
• 5+ threes (+198 FD)

Good luck today, enjoy this loaded day of sports.
