Best Chet Holmgren prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Chet Holmgren 2+ points in the first three minutes (-108)
Holmgren has been the Thunder’s main option to begin games this season and that was on full display in Game 1 vs. the Lakers. The big man scored two points in the first three minutes while hoisting up three quick shots. Holmgren finished the game with a team-high 24 points and he is shooting 53% vs. Los Angeles in five matchups this season.
In the first three minutes this season, Holmgren is leading the Thunder with an elite 2.2 PPG. In this situation, he is handling a 24% usage rate and shooting 55% from the field. 32% of Holmgren’s points this season have come in the first quarter and he has scored at least two points in the first three minutes of eight of his last 10 starts.
On his home floor, Holmgren should come out aggressive again in Game 2 and provide at least one basket in the opening three minutes.
