NBA expert Andrew Caley recommends three player props for tonight's nine-game slate. Claxton is projected to double-double against a struggling Embiid, and the article explores potential breakout players for the Timberwolves facing the Pistons.
NBA fans love the long ball, and our NBA expert Andrew Caley likes two long bombers and a grinder for tonight's NBA slate.With nine games on the NBA schedule, it’s officially a ball night! With that much action on the board, there is no shortage of value to be found in the player prop market, and I’ve found my three favorites. Nic Claxton should take advantage of a not-so-MVP-looking Joel Embiid and the 76ers.
Which Timberwolves player will step up while Anthony Edwards gets double-teamed vs the Pistons? Unless they play in Milwaukee, I guess. That aside there aren’t too many bright spots on this team that is 13-21 heading into Saturday night’s matchup against Joel Embiid and the 76ers. The former MVP still doesn’t look right this season. It’s only been 12 games so far, but he’s having the worst shooting season of his career and is grabbing just 7.6 rebounds per game. And when Embiid isn’t rebounding, the Sixers aren’t rebounding. In fact, Philadelphia enters this game ranked dead last in the NBA in rebounding rate. What seems like a lack of effort is also evident in the paint, where Philly ranks 18th in opponent points in the paint per game. The Brooklyn big man had a bit of a slow start to the season, averaging 9.9 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, and has recorded just seven double-doubles this season. But Claxton has turned it on of late, averaging 11.3 points and 8.8 rebounds over his last six games, recording three of his seven double-doubles during this stretch. With Claxton going for 12 points and eight rebounds in just 22 minutes in his last game against the Sixers back on Nov. 22, I’m backing him to record another double-double tonight at solid plus money. The Timberwolves are still trying to find their footing this season. The T-wolves are off to a disappointing start, with a 17-16 record and currently sitting in 10th place in the Eastern Conference. Anthony Edwards got off to a slow start with his new team and is hitting just 3
