Expert NBA Props for Monday: LaMelo Ball Charlotte Hornets UNDER 31.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-108)

LaMelo Ball has fallen short of this line in 14 of 17 games with the combination of Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges and Kon Knueppel on the court when playing against teams ranked above average in PRAs allowed to opposing guards.

During those games, Ball has averaged 26 PRAs and with those three players active he sees -4.5% decrease in usage rate and a -4.7% decrease in assist rate.

Now Ball is facing a Detroit Pistons team that ranks #1 in PRAs allowed to opposing guards including the 4th fewest PRA s allowed to opposing point guards with an average of 31.9 per game.

We have seen 9 of the last 15 similar guards fall short of their respective PRA lines against the Pistons. Ball already faced Detroit in December, and he finished with only 15 PRAs across 23 minutes of play.

We have a low total in this game at 222.5 and there are plenty of mouths to feed in Charlotte nowadays, lets fade LaMelo in a brutal matchup.

Expert NBA Props for Monday: James Harden Cleveland Cavaliers OVER 8.5 Assists (-102)

James Harden finished with 8 assists on 11 potential assists across 32 minutes of play in his debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers and now he has a favorable matchup against the Denver Nuggets.

The Nuggets rank middle of the pack in assists allowed to opposing point guards but they rely heavily on drop coverages that Harden can expose with lobs to Jarrett Allen.

Harden just recorded 9 assists on 17 potentials across 34 minutes in his final game as a Los Angeles Clipper. 

We have seen tons of opposing point guards eclipse their respective assist lines recently including Anfernee Simons (6), Cade Cunningham (10 & 11), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (13) and Nolan Traore (4).

We have a near pick’em spread with a total set at 239.5 so Harden should full minutes in a close and high scoring affair.

Harden is still getting used to his new team but it’s clear he’s the main facilitator and he has elite scorers to feed including Donovan Mitchell.
