Haliburton, Tythreese
One of the themes of my NBA Props Betting choices this season will be fading the Miami Heat in 3-pointers made props against opposition players. In general, we’ll receive excellent value since the Heat are a solid defensive squad. However, because to their defensive strategy, which involves collapsing on the ball in the center, they are often vulnerable on the perimeter. In fact, only the Rockets and Knicks allow more 3-pointers per game than Miami does.
This provides us with some value in tonight’s game against the rising Indiana Pacers, particularly with guard Tyrese Haliburton at the NBA Props Betting. Haliburton’s 3-point total for this game is set at 2.5, and even with some juice, the Over seems like a good bet. He’s enjoying a fantastic shooting season, making 41% of his 7.1 long-ball tries per game.
Haliburton is on a tear right now, hitting over 50% (25-for-51) of his three-point attempts in his previous seven games. He’s hit three or more threes six times in that span. In addition, Haliburton shot 3-for-8 from deep in the Pacers’ only other meeting with the Heat this season. With Haliburton in a rhythm and the potential to collect additional shots from long range, he seems to be a good bet to advance for the NBA Props Betting. Over his made 3-pointers prop.
Haliburton, Tyrese Over 2.5 three-pointers made (-125)
The game’s Dame
Spoiler alert: Damian Lillard enjoys shooting threes, and he’ll have plenty of chances to do so when the Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves meet for the second time this season. The Trail Blazers won 124-118 on Friday night for NBA Props Betting, with Lillard scoring 36 points despite shooting 3-for-11 from 3-point range. But don’t expect Lillard to be hesitant to pull the gun in this contest.
For starters, few players in the NBA Props Betting attempt more three-pointers a game than Lillard’s 10.8 per game. Despite his tendency to go hot and cold at times, he is normally good for a couple of makes every game. Lillard blazed through the first seven games of the season, connecting on 40.8% of his three-point tries. He went through a difficult period before suffering a calf issue that sidelined him for seven games, but he has returned with a hot hand. Dame has nailed 17 of 38 (44.7%) threes in three games since his comeback.
Then there’s the game against the Wolves. Rudy Gobert is one of the finest inside defenders in the NBA Props Betting, but pairing him with Karl-Anthony Towns has left Minnesota susceptible on the perimeter. Minnesota is now one of the worst teams in the NBA when it comes to 3-point defense. The Timberwolves allow the fourth-most 3-point attempts per game (37.3), as well as the fourth-lowest opponent 3-point percentage (37.4%).
As previously said, Dame only hit three threes in Friday’s game, but it seems to be the bottom end of his potential in this matchup. I’m going with Over 3.5 manufactured threes at a reasonable pricing.
Damian Lillard Prop: More than 3.5 three-pointers made (-118)
Tatum is fading
The Boston Celtics have an NBA-best 21-6 record this season, thanks to an incredible offense spearheaded by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. However, the dynamic combination may be experiencing an early-season slump. That is to be anticipated in a lengthy NBA Props Betting that hasn’t yet reached Christmas Day. It doesn’t help that the Celtics are in the midst of a streak of games against good defensive teams as well as a west coast road trip. The road journey resumes Monday night in Los Angeles, when the Celtics face the Clippers.
L.A. has dealt with some early-season injuries, and although the club will be careful with the likes of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, both superstars are starting to see an increase in minutes, which will only aid an already-excellent defense. The Clippers are seventh in defensive rating and fourth in opponent effective goal %, making Tatum’s 29.5-point total a challenge. Tatum has only scored 30 points once in his past five games, shooting 40.8% from the field and averaging 23.4 points. This includes games against strong defensive squads such as the Heat, Raptors, and Suns.
He is also coming off a terrible shooting performance on national television against the Warriors on Sunday night, as he shot 6-for-21. Now he gets a Clippers squad with a slew of defenders to throw at Tatum, so I think he’ll remain under his point total for NBA Props Betting.
Tatum, Jayson Under 29.5 points is the bet (-115)
