NBA Players Props for Sunday, March 15
Chef T's Bet: Brice Sensabaugh Over 2.5 3-Pointers (-145)
This is one of those clean kitchen spots where everything's already prepped for the dish to hit. The kings leave the small-forward three ball sitting on the counter in multiple primary windows, and Brice has been cooking from deep lately. His recent form are well seasoned above this number, and with a steady 31-minute workload, this line feels more like a recipe than a reach.
Danny's Best Bets:
Deni Avdija Over 21.5 Points (-120)
Deni Avdija and the Portland Trail Blazers appear to be in an advantageous matchup tonight in Philadelphia against the 76ers.
Philly is on the second leg of a back to back following a 104-97 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.
The Sixers defense has gradually weakened throughout the season. Overall, they rank 19th in defensive points per possession allowed, but over the last two weeks they've slipped to 25th.
Avdija is fairly spread out when it comes to his shot selection. He's not afraid to let it fly from deep, the mid range or at the rim.
Since returning to the lineup on March 8, Avdija has played in three games, scoring 18, 22 and 17 points respectively. Although he's only gotten over this mark once, the upcoming matchup is promising and he's been efficient, shooting nearly 50% from the floor.
Avdija should have consistent quality opportunities against a weak and weary Sixers defense tonight.
Gui Santos Under 16.5 Points (-114)
The Warriors young forward has been on a decent scoring tear over the past month and a half. Since the start of February, Gui Santos has averaged 15 points per game. He's also seen a large uptick in his minutes, averaging 36 per game in the month of March.
Tonight's matchup could prove to be a tougher one for him, though. He's facing a New York Knicks defense that is slowly finding its identity. Over the last two weeks, the Knicks rank second in defensive points per possession allowed.
Additionally, Santos is taking 48% of his shots from three point range and 38% at the rim. While the Knicks have been around league average defending the three ball this season, they're exceptional at protecting the rim, ranking fifth in field goal percentage allowed at the rim (64.3%).
Look for Santos to have a tougher time scoring at Madison Square Garden tonight.
Danny's Best Bets:
NBA Record: 151-122-1 (+16.00 units)
