5 minNBA Player Prop Cheat Sheet: Targeting Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving on Monday Night
There are three player props that I will be targeting separately. These three players all have favorable matchups and I believe they will cash their lines as they are fairly set. The three players we will be targeting today are Kyrie Irving, LaMelo Ball, and Damian Lillard.
January 22 NBA Player Props
Kyrie Irving o9.5 RA (-130) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
I'm not quite sure if this is a trap because they're playing a very good team, but this line is way too good for me to ignore and not play. Since the beginning of January, Kyrie has hit this line consistently, hitting this in nine out of his last nine games. Against similar highly rated defensive teams such as the Timberwolves and Knicks, Kyrie went for 13 and 14 RA, which makes it seem convincing that he'll put up around the same numbers against this tough Celtics squad. Another thing to consider is that the Celtics rank 30th in rebounds allowed to shooting guards. Overall, this is a great spot for for Kyrie to go off against his former team.
LaMelo Ball o22.5 Points (-110) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Just like Kyrie's RA line, this line is way too low for Lamelo Ball in my opinion. In Lamelo's last 13 games, excluding the game where he got injured, he's cleared this line 12 times. The only time he missed was when he dropped 21 points against the Heat. The Timberwolves are a top defensive team, but they've allowed 30+ points to point guards in their past three matchups. For the season, LaMelo puts up 19.4 field goal attempts a game, with nearly half of those attempts being three-point attempts. LaMelo has a good history against the Timberwolves, clearing this line in two out of three games. Overall, this line should be clearable by the Hornets' number one scoring option.
Damian Lillard o34.5 PA (-105) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
This line is super valuable almost reaching plus odds. In all three games against the Pistons this season, Lillard has almost cleared this line alone with just his points, averaging 37.7 points per game against them. In terms of PA, Lillard averages 43.6 PA per game, which is well over this line. The Pistons also rank 26th in assists allowed to point guards, meaning that it should be easy for Dame to find his teammates for a bucket. Overall, this line is a steal and it should clear convincingly with the way he's been destroying the Pistons in the past three games against them.
