NBA No House Advantage Props | Oct. 19
Tyrese Haliburton, IND vs. WAS: Over 7.5 Assists
Haliburton took on a leading role after being acquired from the Kings last season, averaging 17.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.8 steals over 26 games with the Pacers. He averaged 36 minutes per game with his new team, and he should continue to play a lot this season. The Pacers are even more thin at guard now, having dealt Malcolm Brogdon to the Celtics over the summer.
This is a surprisingly low assists number for Haliburton to hit. Across the 26 games that he played with the Pacers last year, he had at least eight assists 18 times. With good shooters at his side, including Buddy Hield and Chris Duarte, look for Haliburton to hit the over on this number.
Terry Rozier, CHA at SA: Over 21.5 Points
Rozier was one of the leading scorers on the Hornets last season, averaging 19.3 points per game. Helping his cause was that he averaged 34 minutes per game for the third straight season. He also had a 23.2% usage rate, which was the second-highest mark on the team among players who appeared in at least 35 games.
The only played who had a higher usage rate than Rozier last season was LaMelo Ball (ankle), who has been ruled out for the opener. They will also be without Miles Bridges, who had the fourth-highest usage rate on the team last season and is still unsigned after dealing with legal issues. Add the potential for a ton of shot attempts against a rebuilding Spurs team, and Rozier could explode in the scoring column.
Keldon Johnson, SA vs. CHA: Over 16.5 Points
The Spurs surprisingly made the Play-In Tournament last season despite losing DeMar DeRozan. Dejounte Murray was one of the big reasons for their success, stuffing the stat sheet in multiple areas on a nightly basis. However, they decided to dive even further into a rebuild this summer, sending Murray to the Hawks.
The Spurs didn’t bring in any significant veterans to bolster their roster, meaning they will rely heavily on their young players. Johnson could end up being the most productive, as he averaged 17.0 points and shot 46.6% from the field last season. The biggest reason for his increased scoring was his improvement from behind the arc. He shot 39.8% from deep, propelling him to average 2.1 3-pointers per game. With the potential to lead the team in usage rate, Johnson’s over here is very appealing.
Jalen Green, HOU at ATL: Over 18.5 Points
Green got off to a slow start during his rookie campaign, averaging 14.0 points and 1.8 3-pointers over his first 18 games. He shot just 38.2% from the field during that span, including 27.8% from behind the arc. An injury forced him to miss most of December, and he looked like a different player when he returned.
Over his final 49 games, Green averaged 18.5 points and 2.6 3-pointers, shooting 43.9% from the field and 36.4% from behind the arc. He really went off down the stretch, providing 22.0 points and 3.2 3-pointers over his final 25 games. The Rockets are building around him and should continue to play at a fast pace with him and Kevin Porter Jr. at the helm, leaving Green with a favorable opportunity to reach the over.
