The Heat look to avoid a four-game skid when they host the struggling Spurs on Sunday afternoon. Even with Jimmy Butler back in the lineup, Tyler Herro is the focal point of the offense and is in pole position to make his first All-Star game.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Miami is currently a 2.5-point favorite, with the game’s point total set at 219.5. Below, I’ve honed in on my favorite player prop centered around Herro in this southern showdown.
Best Tyler Herro Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Tyler Herro 25+ Points (+105)
It’s fairly evident Tyler Herro has been a victim of a franchise without a clear direction. His name has been a staple in potential trade packages, and it was a not-so-subtle secret that the organization was thinking of shipping him to Portland for Damian Lillard. Even with the constant turmoil and inconsistent role in the team’s hierarchy, Herro has persevered and has leveled up his arsenal.
As the primary on-ball engine, Herro is averaging career highs across the board. He’s scoring over 24 points a night, chipping in five assists and a hair under six rebounds in the process. Herro’s shooting has been the difference, hitting over 40% of his triples on nearly ten attempts a game. He’s an effortless creator, using a shifty handle to create space on the perimeter. Herro is also dangerous off the ball, using a lightning-fast release to make defenses pay when flying around screens.
San Antonio has an average defensive rating on the season but has been a top-ten unit across its last fifteen games. Victor Wembanyama is a human detour down low and helps shrink the area to cover for his teammates.
In their most recent showing, the Spurs got blitzed from downtown. An injury-riddled Memphis side launched threes, and Mitch Johnson’s squad had no answers. Expect Herro and the Heat to try a similar strategy, as one of the league’s best snipers will capitalize on launching from deep. He’s surpassed 25 points in three of his last four outings—it’s hard not to love this line.
