Top NBA bet and player prop
The top prop to monitor is Saddiq Bey OVER 2.5 three-pointers. The Sportsbook price is +127.
Bey has hit OVER 2.5 three-pointers in eight straight games. He is 29-for-50 from three in that stretch, a 58 percent clip.
He is averaging 3.6 made threes on 6.3 attempts per game during the run. Bey also made 3 of 5 from deep in Sacramento last month.
Prediction
With both clubs out of playoff contention, offense could be the focus. Recent meetings were high scoring.
New Orleans’ 133-123 win and Sacramento’s 123-point effort in Toronto suggest a fast pace. I favor the OVER 234.5 (-110) in this matchup.
