Today's Best NBA Player Prop Picks

Zach LaVine Over 2.5 Made Threes (-111)

Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls are down in pace against the Milwaukee Bucks, but that's always the case for the league-leader in pace, Chicago.

What matters here is that the Bucks are letting up 39.1 three-point attempts per game on the season, seventh-most in the NBA.

LaVine has averaged 3.1 makes and 7.3 attempts from beyond the arc so far this season while shooting 42.0% from deep. That's a better rate than his career mark of 38.3% and up drastically from a 34.9% make percentage in a limited season a year ago.

But even with some regression expected, it's a volume game for tonight for LaVine.

In four games against teams bottom-10 in three-point defense (by volume), LaVine has averaged 7.8 attempts and 3.0 makes even while shooting around his career-average rate in that split.

numberFire's model projects LaVine for 2.7 treys.

Clint Capela Over 18.5 Points + Rebounds (-113)

The Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors are playing in tonight's fastest game by average pace, and Golden State ranks seventh-worst in rebounds per game allowed to opponents (more on this in a second).

Clint Capela is averaging 8.2 rebounds per game, and based on his three-year rebounding conversion rates, he should be averaging 8.9 boards per contest.

In addition to a promising rebounding matchup, Capela should be able to score, as the Warriors are around average in points in the paint but bottom-four at defending second-chance points.

Where Golden State really stands out as a rebounding team is defensively (i.e. letting up offensive boards). They allow the third most offensive rebounds per game.

Second-chance opportunities should be there for Capela.

James Harden Under 8.5 Assists (-122)

James Harden and the Los Angeles Clippers host the Orlando Magic in tonight's nightcap at 10:30 p.m. Eastern.

The Magic are second in defensive rating on the season and first in points per game allowed. They have also let up the second-fewest assists per game, around 90% of the league-average.

Additionally, the Clippers' implied team total is only 102.0 points, down 7.2 points from their full-season scoring average.

Harden is averaging 9.0 assists per game but is now in a worse spot for racking up helpers. Not only that, but if his teammates converted at a league-average rate, Harden would be averaging only 7.8 assists per game this season.
