Frustratingly inconsistent though he may be to the Rockets faithful and NBA prop bettors everywhere, Jalen Green is still having one of his more impressive seasons yet. He’s also fresh off a prolific (if rather inefficient) night against the Raptors during which he clocked 22 points and seven rebounds. He’ll be a full go for tonight’s game in Charlotte against the Hornets.
I’ve taken a look at Green’s odds, lines, and totals for all his markets and prop bets, and I’ve analyzed the one toward which I’m leaning most tonight.
Best Jalen Green prop for Rockets at Hornets
Jalen Green u28.5 points + rebounds + assists
Correcting inefficiency hasn’t exactly been Jalen Green’s forte this year. I think his 45% field goal percentage last night in Toronto might suggest an even more out-of-rhythm night for Green in Charlotte.
His finest performances—we all remember, distant though it may be, Green’s scorching October—have come when he’s shot right in that 42-45% range. His 40.7% season-long percentage is a reminder that plenty of his 28 games have seen his efficiency dip well below that threshold.
In his only game against the Hornets this year, he had 28 points and two rebounds on a 39.1% FG%. Green’s overall efficiency has been floating a little too close to 35% for me, in regular season play, recently. He’s had his explosions north of 50%, but if he shoots a fraction worse than he did last night, he won’t clear this number.
Best Bet: Jalen Green u28.5 points + rebounds + assists
