Anthony Edwards M/L Than 27.5 Points
One of the more intriguing matchups throughout the Association today is taking place in Minnesota, where the T’Wolves are hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In two games against the Thunder this season – Edwards has scored 23 and 20 points, respectively, while posting a field goal percentage of 36.7%.
Those numbers aren’t bad, per se, but in of Edwards’ usual standards he’s underperforming. With that being said – it’s not shocking to see that occur, though. The Thunder are the best defense in the league, ranking 1st in both effective field goal percentage and points per 100 possessions allowed.
Despite the tough matchup and prior results to work off of – this prop is still being posted at a fairly high mark. Let’s take advantage of this prop and look to attack Edwards’ under.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Anthony Edwards Less Than 27.5 Points
Ja Morant M/L Than 1.5 3-Pointers Made
Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies are set to face one of the best teams in the NBA – the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Cleveland has done exceptionally well on the defensive end this season, ranking 7th in defensive effective field goal percentage and 8th in points per 100 possessions allowed. Where they’ve also performed strongly is around the arc. The Cavs are allowing the fifth-fewest shot attempts from three-point land this season.
Morant enters this contest only taking 25% of his shots from deep and making just 33% of those looks. This should be another matchup where he looks to attack his comfort zone, which is mid-range, or near the rim. I’m not expecting Morant to be able to create quality looks from downtown against one of the better defenses.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Ja Morant Less Than 1.5 3-Pointers Made
