Philadelphia 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets: Best Prop Bets

Tobias Harris Three-Pointers Over 1.5 (+116) @ UniBet NJ

Tobias Harris has always been a streaky shooter, and he’s been on a down run of form as of late. At Unibet NJ, Harris is a +116 to clear 1.5 three-pointers made when he plays the Charlotte Hornets. While they’ll be taking on a lower level of competition, Harris must convert on his opportunities for the Sixers to claim victory.

On the season, Harris is averaging 14.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.7 threes per game on 49.1% shooting from the field and 37.7% from three-point range. However, over his last four games since returning to play, Harris has averaged 9.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 0.5 threes per game on 29.7% shooting from the field and 20.0% from three-point range. His recent numbers aren’t encouraging for his chances at clearing 1.5 threes, but that’s where the Charlotte Hornets come in.

Allowing 117.5 points per game (23rd in the NBA) and 12.4 threes per game (20th in the NBA) on 35.9% efficiency (14th in the NBA), the Charlotte Hornets’ defense is set to give Harris plenty of opportunities from deep. While he hasn’t cleared 1.5 threes in seven games, he’s done so in 31 of his 63 appearances this season. Given the pace of play and the Hornets’ focus on protecting the paint, Harris will have every opportunity to clear 1.5 made three-pointers.

Golden State Warriors vs Atlanta Hawks: Best Prop Bets

De’Andre Hunter Points Over 16.5 (+100) @ BetRivers

De’Andre Hunter has flourished in his expanded role for the Atlanta Hawks, and he’ll look to carry on his scoring form as they vie for the playoffs. At BetRivers, Hunter is a +100 to clear 16.5 points when he faces the Golden State Warriors. We expect Hunter to thrive when facing one of the NBA’s worst defenses.

On the season, Hunter has averaged 15.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists on 46.5% from the field and 35.8% from three-point range. He’s had eight straight games scoring double-digits, averaging 15.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists on 49.5% shooting from the field and 30.3% from three-point range. His three-point shooting has been off, but he’s made up for it by converting from other areas on the court.

Hunter has cleared 16.5 points three times through his recent streak of eight games. He’s also cleared 16.5 points in 24 of his 59 appearances this season. The Golden State Warriors allow 117.7 points per game (25th in the NBA) on one of the highest paces permitted in the league. With the focus on Murray and Young, Hunter will have plenty of opportunities on the offensive end.

There’s no need to doubt star point guard Damian Lillard’s offensive quality at this point in his career. Lillard needs to maintain his current run of play already in good passing form. At FanDuel Sportsbook, Lillard is a +114 to clear 7.5 assists when he faces the Boston Celtics.

Despite missing one of his last six games, Lillard kept up his solid play through Portland’s 2-4 run. On the season, Lillard averages 32.3 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.7 rebounds on 46.5% from the field and 37.6% from three-point range. Through his last five games, Lillard has averaged 31.8 points, 8.8 assists, and 8.0 rebounds per game on 40.0% shooting from the field and 34.9% from deep.

Lillard has cleared 7.5 assists in three of his last five matches. On the season, he’s collected over 7.5 assists in 28 of his 55 total appearances. The Boston Celtics allow just 23.0 assists per game (1st in the NBA), but Lillard’s ability is enough for defenses to focus on him - it’ll just be up to his teammates to convert.
