Monday, March 27 NBA Player Props
Jamal Murray 20+ Points (-120) (Bet $120 to collect $220)
Jamal Murray 25+ Points (+230) (Bet $100 to collect $330) Best odds available at FanDuel
Jamal Murray continues to play excellent basketball on the offensive side of the ball. He's scored at least 20 points in 15 of his last 23 games, averaging 22.8 per game during this stretch.
Despite playing with Nikola Jokic, Murray is the guy that consistently leads Denver in field goal attempts. And, during his aforementioned recent stretch, he's scored 20+ points in 15 of 20 games when seeing at least 30 minutes of action. And he's scored 25+ points in 10 of those games.
In his last two games against Philadelphia, the Kentucky product has scored 22 and 30 points. The Sixers have struggled immensely against capable guards over their last five games. They conceded 29 points to Devin Booker and Stephen Curry, 21 to Klay Thompson, 33 to Jordan Poole, 26 to Zach LaVine, 22 to Andrew Nembhard, and 25 to Aaron Nesmith.
Murray has scored at least 21 points in nine of his last 12 home games, averaging 24.8 PPG. He's in a great spot to keep producing in a primetime spot at home tonight.
Giannis Antetokounmpo 30+ Points (-120) (Bet $120 to collect $220) Best odds available at FanDuel
The Detroit Pistons can't stop anybody from scoring. And they most definitely can't hang with Giannis. The only thing stopping us from cashing this prop is a lack of playing time for the two-time MVP due to a blowout, as the Bucks enter as 16-point favorites.
Antetokounmpo has been excellent regardless of who Milwaukee has had on the court with him this season. Even when playing alongside both Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton, he doesn't see a dip in volume or production. Giannis, Holiday, and Middleton have all been healthy for 22 games this season. Giannis has scored 30+ in 16 of these 22 games, averaging 34.0 PPG. In fact, Giannis' 39.3% usage rate with Holiday and Middleton is a small step up from his season-long 38.4 USG%.
If you're overly worried about a Bucks blowout, don't be. The Greek Freak has scored 30+ points in 15 of Milwaukee's 20 double-digit wins this season. And he has at least 28 points in all seven games against the Pistons over the last two seasons, averaging 30.6 PPG. As long as Giannis plays at least 27 or 28 minutes tonight, we're getting some tremendous value at this line.
