New Orleans Pelicans vs. Phoenix Suns
CJ McCollum Over 3.5 Threes Made (-130)
CJ should really start thinking about legally changing his name to 3J McCollum at this point.
The sharpshooter has taken his long range game to the next level this year, hitting 41.4% of his three-pointers, the veteran’s highest percentage since the 2016-17 campaign.
If you’re looking for value on a three-pointers prop, typically a player brings one of two things to the table. They’re either extremely efficient, or they take a TON of shots from beyond the arc.
In McCollum’s case, he does both. The 32-year-old has taken a whopping 52 threes over his last five games, hitting this total in four of those contests. Since Brandon Ingram’s injury, CJ has seen a significantly expanded usage rate, eclipsing 25% in five straight matchups.
It’s also worth noting that the Suns allow the 10th-most threes per game, which bodes well for McCollum’s prospects of keeping the momentum rolling tonight.
TOP DEFENSIVE PROP
Trey Murphy III Over 1.5 Steals + Blocks (-115)
- Known for being an elite sharpshooter, Murphy III is also an extremely active defender. The 23-year-old wing has racked up at least two combined steals and blocks in three of his last four games. Phoenix is a favorable matchup for Murphy III and the Pelicans, as the Suns rack up the sixth-most turnovers per game across the association.
