No House Advantage NBA Player Props
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, OKC at WAS: Over 25.5 Points
Gilgeous-Alexander has taken his game to another level this season. He has been one of the most productive scorers in the league, averaging 31.5 points per game. He’s shooting 53.9% from the field on a whopping 21.5 shot attempts per game, and he’s shooting 94.0% from the charity stripe. With so little talent around him on the rebuilding Thunder, he should remain the focal point of their scoring attack as the season moves along.
With Gilgeous-Alexander taking so many shots and hitting them at a high rate, he has scored at least 26 points in 10 of 13 games. He also has scored at least 30 points in a game nine times, including in four of his last five. Add in the Thunder playing at the fastest pace in the league, and the over is the way to go here.
Myles Turner, IND at CHA: Over 11.5 Points
Turner always seems to be in trade rumors. The rebuilding Pacers have yet to deal him, although that could change as the deadline approaches. Talent is not the question with Turner; his problem has been an inability to stay healthy. He has played at least 70 games in a season only two times in his career, and he didn’t top 47 games in either of the last two seasons.
The good news for the Pacers is that Turner is healthy now and playing well. He’s averaging 17.9 points per game, which is on pace to be the highest mark of his career by a wide margin. He’s also averaging a career-high 8.7 rebounds. The Hornets are thin at center, which is part of the reason they have allowed the fourth-most rebounds per game in the league. This is a modest point total that Turner has hit the over on during five of his seven games.
Michael Porter Jr., DEN vs. NY: Over 14.5 Points
The big news for this game is that Nikola Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out. As if being without the reigning MVP isn’t bad enough, the Nuggets also have other depth concerns. Bones Hyland (COVID-19 protocols) and Ish Smith (calf) are listed as doubtful, while Aaron Gordon (illness) is listed as questionable. Hyland has provided the Nuggets with a spark off the bench, averaging 14.0 points and 2.9 3-pointers per game.
With the Nuggets expected to miss a few key players, Porter is likely going to be asked to score even more than usual. As it stands, he is already averaging 18.0 points per game. With regards to this total, he has scored at least 15 points in 10 of the 12 games in which he has played. Add in the Knicks possibly having tired legs playing the second game of a back-to-back set, and Porter could blow past the over.
Jamal Murray, DEN vs. NY: Over 17.5 Points
With Murray sitting out all of last season, the Nuggets took a cautious approach with him out of the gate this season. Over their first five games, he averaged only 26 minutes. However, he’s played at least 30 minutes in six of the last seven games, averaging 18.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists during that stretch.
Murray is another player who should be aided by Jokic being out. Jokic is the team’s best facilitator on offense, so Murray should have the ball in his hands a lot more. Murray has scored at least 18 points in five of the six games in which he has logged at least 30 minutes, and he should be on the floor a ton in this matchup.
