Barrett has also seen a recent scoring uptick, clearing this total in 5 of his last 6 games with 18, 21, 9, 27, 23 &amp; 23 points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 9-point effort came in a game against the Utah Jazz where he shot a horrendous 3-16 from the field. However, Barrett has also gotten the job done in poor shooting performances such as the last game against the Los Angeles Clippers where he scored 18 points despite shooting only 2-7 from three-point land.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Julius Randle has also played a bit less selfish and has found Barrett on some additional open threes. Barrett has more than enough shooting volume to eclipse this total with an average of 16.3 field goal attempts and 6.3 three-point attempts in seven December games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The spread is only -4 with a total set at 234.5 so there will be plenty of opportunities for Barrett to clear this number in a close high scoring game.<\/p>\n\n<h2>NBA Player Props<span style=\"color: revert; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: revert; font-weight: revert;\"> Predictions 2: Donovan Mitchell Under 30.5 Points (-130) DK\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Donovan Mitchell is averaging 27.3 points per game on a 44.8% shooting from the field through the first 21 games of the 2023-24 campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Mitchell has actually fallen short of this lofty number in 14 of those 21 games with a season high of 43 points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Houston Rockets allow the LEAST points to opposing shooting guards with only 18.89 per game. More importantly, not a single shooting guard has cleared this total against them in 23 straight games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Only one shooting guard has eclipsed 24 points and that was in a game where he played 40 minutes. However, Darius Garland and Evan Mobley both remain out for the Cavaliers, which will put Mitchell in the role of point guard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We will need to hold our breath as Mitchell will surely be hoisting away shots but in a game with a total of only 215, he should still fall short of 31 points.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: revert; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: revert; font-weight: revert;\">NBA Tipoff Show | NBA Betting Preview for December 18<\/span><\/h3>\nJoin Joe Raineri and a rotating panel of guests for the <a href=\"http:\/\/wt.buzz\/tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBA Tipoff Show<\/a> as we break down the daily NBA slate from a betting perspective every weekday discussing the NBA betting slate!\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NBA Predictions, Picks &amp; Best Bets | Clippers vs Pacers | Knicks vs Lakers | Tip-Off for Dec 18\" width=\"870\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NCZQ02UK9Y0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zWMv9-as6jY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn how to bet on the NBA<\/a> with WagerTalk&#8217;s #1 NBA handicapper in 2022-23 Skee Profit and Kelly Stewart as they dive into the must-ask questions when it comes to betting on the NBA!
