Alex Barutha: Bojan Bogdanovic over 2.5 made threes (+100) vs. Pelicans -- DraftKings, 1:17 PM CT
The Pelicans sell out on defense to protect the rim, which has led to them allowing the most three-point attempts (42.3) in the NBA. Bogdanovic is one of Utah's most prolific three-point shooters, attempting 6.5 per game, and he's hit double-digit attempts twice. He's shooting 39% from three this season and has been over 40% in the three prior seasons. I don't mind a three-point prop on any Utah player today, but I liked Bogdanovic's number and history as a shooter the most.
Joe Bartel: Donovan Mitchell under 33.5 PRA (-114) - DraftKings 1:03 CT
Eric Bledsoe is back in the lineup meaning the All-Defense shooting guard should give Mitchell all he can handle. The Pelicans allow the sixth-fewest points to SGs and also the fewest rebounds to the position so betting the PRA under is just a nice way to give us better odds. I'm even interested in taking the under of 3.5 rebounds (+108) since you're getting plus money, but the PRA is obviously the safer route.
Ken Crites: I'm taking FanDuel's OVER on Gary Harris scoring 9.5 Points vs. Denver
From Jan. 5 to Jan. 10, Harris scored in double figures in four straight games before missing two games for personal reasons. The Thunder are again playing without Al Horford (personal), which hurts their team defense. The Nuggets are 9.5-point favorites with an O/U of 220.5. That implies 115 for Denver. With Harris averaging 31.3 minutes in his last seven games and Will Barton seeing more time in the frontcourt due to Michael Porter's absence (Covid-19), I like Harris' chances of hitting double figures in about 32 minutes of run.
