Best Julius Randle prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Julius Randle U 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-151)
With Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) both out, Julius Randle is going to see a boost to his usage rate. However, that doesn’t mean the forward is going to be more active from deep. Edwards and DiVincenzo exited in the first half of Game 4, and with them missing most of the contest, Randle handled a 28.9% usage rate. He didn’t make his lone attempt from beyond the arc.
Randle has now stayed under 1.5 made three-pointers in six of his eight matchups vs. the Nuggets this season. In this series, Randle has gone without a make a from distance in three of four games.
Randle’s outside shooting has been abysmal in this best-of-seven, making 2-of-11 attempts from deep for a low 18%. Randle could very well go without a made three-pointer again tonight and his odds for this under should be closer to -200.
