The 76ers are expected to be without Joel Embiid (doubtful, illness) on Monday, as they travel to Miami to face the Heat. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Miami is favored by five points, and this game carries a total of 212 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Paul George prop to consider from this contest.
Best Paul George Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Paul George U 21.5 points (-105)
George should stay under this scoring line Monday, even with Embiid sidelined. In the 144 minutes George has played with Embiid off the court this season, George’s usage rate has only risen 0.6 percentage points and he is scoring 20.3 points per 36 minutes. It’s a generous projection for George, who is only averaging 30.2 minutes per game.
The wing is shooting 39% from the field, which is George’s lowest average in 10 years, and he is facing a Miami team that ranks 28th in pace. Philadelphia ranks 26th in that category, and this tilt’s 212.5-point total on DraftKings Sportsbook is the third-lowest of the eight NBA games on the schedule Monday.
This should be a slow-paced and low-scoring contest, and this 21.5-point line is simply too high for George.
