Trae Young H/L Than 28.5 Points
Since returning from the All-Star Break, Trae Young has been on a tear, scoring 38 points in both games while totaling 10 three-pointers and 19 assists.
For the season, Young is averaging 24 points per game, but that number has jumped to 32 per contest in February. However, I expect him to regress closer to his season average tonight against the Miami Heat—a team that, despite some roster changes, maintains a strong defensive identity.
Miami ranks 11th in points allowed per 100 possessions and 14th in opponent effective field goal percentage.
Young will still have a significant impact, whether through scoring or facilitating. I lean toward the latter in this matchup and believe the 28.5-point prop line is a bit bullish and putting a lot of weight on his recent performances.

Anthony Edwards H/L Than 3.5 3-Pointers Made
This is not only the second leg of a back-to-back for Anthony Edwards, but he’s also facing the same team he played last night—the NBA’s top-ranked defense. The Oklahoma City Thunder lead the league in both points allowed per 100 possessions and opponent effective field goal percentage.
OKC also ranks first in opponent three-point percentage, holding teams to just 33.8% from beyond the arc. While Edwards managed to hit four threes last night, this presents a strong opportunity to back the under. The Thunder should be able to adjust, limit his quality looks from deep, and give themselves a better chance to keep him under this prop line.
