Best Jalen Williams Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jalen Williams Under 1.5 Three Pointers Made (-125)

Williams is a sharp bet to go under 1.5 three pointers made for Game 5. This postseason, the All-Star is shooting a low 30% on three pointers and he is only averaging 1.5 on 5.0 attempts per game. Williams has stayed under this line in 10 of his 20 starts during these playoffs and hasn’t hit multiple three pointers in five straight games.

Game 5 will mark the seventh time that he has faced the Pacers this season. Indiana has been strong at defending outside shooters this season, giving up the fourth-fewest made three pointers on the fifth-lowest three-point percentage in the NBA. And, Williams has fallen short 2+ three pointers in five of six matchups against the Pacers.
