Opposing point guards have gotten the &#8220;Lou Dort treatment&#8221; as Oklahoma City has held five straight starters to 16 points or less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Thunder have an elite defense in general as they rank #1 in defensive rating while holding opponents to the fewest points with 103.3 per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I strongly considered Points + Assists, but I could see a few extra dimes from Harden as he&#8217;s forced into passing situations. With a spread of -9.5 and a total of 218, points will be at a premium with the potential for a blowout limiting minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top NBA Player Props Picks: Gary Trent Jr, Bucks Over 1.5 Three-Pointers (-130)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gary Trent Jr has recorded 2+ three-pointers in 4 of his last 5 games and 19 of 26 games when playing 18+ minutes while averaging 2.2 made threes per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trent Jr is already a perfect 3\/3 in head-to-head games against the Brooklyn Nets this season with 2, 3 and 2 three-pointers. Brooklyn allows the 3rd most three-pointers (3.9\/game) and the 3rd highest three-point percentage (35.2%) to opposing shooting guards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trent Jr hits the majority of his long-distance shots in catch &amp; shoot scenarios and the Nets rank 28th in defending spot up shooters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spread is -14 but Brooklyn has been competitive against Milwaukee this season, winning 2 of 3 games and only losing by five in their lone loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trent Jr played 28, 25 and 22 minutes in those three games and that should be plenty of time for him to bury 2+ shots from beyond the arc.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GoldSheet Top Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Join the country&#8217;s longest-running sports betting newsletter for our NFL Week 16 all-access package, featuring selections added to the card through out the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a reason why bettors (and occasionally bookmakers) have trusted GoldSheet over the last seven decades: 351-303-10 (53.7%) on all football selections for +96.8% profit last three seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/profile\/the-gold-sheet\"><strong>SUBSCRIBE TODAY<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"anchor\" id=\"newsletterfrm\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"hottest_play_area\">\n  <div id=\"newsletter_widget\" class=\"hottest_play_third_area newsletter_widget\">\n    <div class=\"hottest_play_third_area_content\">\n      <div class=\"sign-up-offer-text\">\n        <p>SPECIAL OFFER FOR FIRST TIME SUBSCRIBERS<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"newsletter-thank new\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <a class=\"anchor-newsletter\"><\/a>\n        Thanks for signing up!
