Brook Lopez (Bucks) UNDER 9.5 Points
What’s up guys this is the Prop Master back at it after a 2-1 night on free plays. Limited options in pro sports tonight but we have the in-season tournament NBA Cup championship: Bucks vs Thunder. I am liking a couple plays in this matchup. First, I want you to take Brook Lopez to go UNDER 9.5 points. This play is all about line functionality and the line says it all. Lopez averages 11.2 PPG on the season but oddsmakers have his line posted 15% below his season total for a reason. This game is going to be physical, tons of defense, and the elite scorers will be getting up most of the shots with the likes of Giannis, Lillard, and Khris Middleton. Lopez’s scoring is also down recently, putting up just 6.8 points/game so far in December. He will take a couple three pointers and maybe get a post bucket or two but he’s facing the #1 defense in the NBA and the Thunder officially allow the 2nd fewest points to opposing centers. Isiah Hartenstein is a great, athletic rim protector and I expect him to be all over Lopez tonight. Great fade spot and we follow the value: Take Brook Lopez UNDER 9.5 Points!
2-Man Parlay: Giannis Antetokounmpo UNDER 0.5 Made 3PT & Damian Lillard UNDER 7.5 Assists
For free play #2 I want you guys to whip up a quick 2-man parlay. First leg: Giannis Antetokounmpo UNDER 0.5 Made 3PT. This will likely be part of our VIP card in a parlay as well. His line is heavily juiced but he might not even attempt a 3-pointer tonight and he shouldn’t. He’s shooting 17% from three on the year and only averages 0.1 made three per game. Plus, OKC boasts the #1 3-point defense in the NBA. Fade Giannis as he’s going to attack the rim all game. For the 2nd leg take Damian Lillard to go UNDER 7.5 assists. The line is right at his season average but I think it’s tough sledding tonight. The Thunder allow the 5th fewest assists to opposing point guards and Giannis will have the ball in his hands a ton. A lot of Lillard’s assist come on drive and kicks to the corner for three but the Thunder are incredible at defending that as well. Bucks can easily win this game but stats will be tough to come by. Get this 2-man parlay price at around +115 odds!
Walter Clayton Jr. (Florida) Over 19.5 Points
We bounce to college hoops for the final free prop tonight! Walter Clayton Jr. (Florida) Over 19.5 Points. The Florida Gators are off to an incredible 10-0 start and will be looking to grab another neutral court victory over the Tar Heels. Both teams like to push tempo, so it should be a high scoring game with the total set at 166.5. Walter Clayton Jr. is one of the most dangerous scorers in the country. Clayton is averaging 19 points per game and is shooting 38 percent from three. Walter has gone over this number in 3 out of the last 4 games. If you dig deeper and look at games against power conference opponents, Walter has gone over this number in 5/6 games. He averaged over 24 points per game in those contests. Tonight is definitely a big time matchup! Look for Walter to score early and often tonight and go over 19.5 Points!
