Fresh off an anticipated homecoming 22-4-3 performance with six triples, Thompson looks primed for another big night against the Jazz. Utah’s currently surrendering the 6th best FG% to opposing three-point shooters so far this season, indicating their perimeter defense is as porous as their roster is disappointing. The Jazz seem to be headed for another low quality season in which they’ll drop a bunch of games in an effort to land coveted Duke product Cooper Flagg. Regardless, let’s take a look at Thompson’s props for tonight.
Here are some of the best Klay Thompson prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Friday’s matchup:
Best Klay Thompson Prop Bets
Points 16.5 (Over -130 / Under +100): In a game where Kyrie Irving’s availability seems to be in question, it seems wise to target Thompson’s Over here in points. We know Klay has no reservations about letting it fly. He’s averaging 14.5 points on the season while shooting an inefficient 41.7%, a hair below his previous two season’s totals of around 43%. His shot should come up a bit due to the gravity of Luka Doncic and his ability to find open shooters on the perimeter.
Threes 3.5 (Over +105 / Under -125:) Thompson is a career 41.2% shooter from three-point-distance, and this season he’s sitting at 37.2%. There’s room for improvement here, and on his typical 8.5 attempts a game, it feels like a coin flip whether he’ll go Over. I’m taking the over here due to the Jazz’s lack of perimeter defense. As Thompson warms up to the Dallas offense and gets his shooting rhythm back, he’ll be more live to go for those explosive performances he’s known for. Age hasn’t been kind to him, but that type of shot never really goes away.
