Expert NBA Player Props for Thursday: Anfernee Simons Boston Celtics OVER 12.5 Points (-120)

Anfernee Simons has heated up recently while clearing this line in 8 of his last 9 games and averaging 14.8 points per game on a 46% field goal percentage and a 49% three-point percentage during his last 10 games.

Simons has overtaken Sam Hauser in the Boston Celtics rotation while consistently getting 25+ minutes per game and when he’s logged that time with 10+ field goal attempts, he’s covered this line in a perfect 15/15 games.

That includes a game against the Miami Heat on December 19th where Simons scored 14 points while shooting 6/10 from the field across 29 minutes of play.

Simons has thrived against the Heat in general as he scored 24, 28 & 26 points in his last three head-to-head games as a member of the Portland Trailblazers.

This is the biggest pace up spot possible as the Celtics rank dead last in tempo while Miami ranks #1 in the entire league. The Celtics are -2.5-point road favorites with a total set high 234.5 so we should see a competitive game leading to full minutes.

Expert NBA Player Props for Thursday: LaMelo Ball Charlotte Hornets OVER 19.5 Points (-105)

LaMelo Ball grew up as a Los Angeles Lakers fan, and his father LaVar famously expressed the desire for all three of his sons to play in the organization so LaMelo will be looking to “Ball out”.

Ball has scored 20+ points in 6 of his 7 head-to-head matchups against the Lakers with the lone miss coming in a home game where he scored only 7 points due to leaving after only 9 minutes due to an injury.

The Lakers have played horrible defense as they rank 25th in defensive rating (2nd worst L15 games) and they have allowed the 6th most points to opposing guards.

Recently we have seen opposing guards thrive against Los Angeles including Nickeil Walker-Alexander (26), CJ McCollum (25), Malik Monk (26), Russell Westbrook (22), Kevin Porter Jr (22) and Cade Cunningham (27).

The Lakers are favored by only -4.5 points with a total set high at 233.5 so we should see a competitive & high scoring affair and the Hornets should give Ball ample minutes as long as we avoid a dreaded blowout.
