Okongwu went a combined 5-12 from long distance against Boston in those two games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hawks center has covered this line in 21\/27 games against teams ranked bottom 12 in mid-range defense while averaging 15.2 points per game where the Celtics rank 26th in defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Boston is only favored by -4.5 and the Hawks have been playing excellent basketball so we should see a competitive game leads to full minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Okongwu should see plenty of open looks from deep while approaching 30+ minutes and that will give him ample opportunity to beat this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Oklahoma City Thunder are favored by -19.5 points so there is a huge chance of a blowout limiting minutes straight out of the gate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Thunder are fully healthy, and this could be a low motivational spot as they just lost a hard-fought game to the Boston Celtics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has fallen short of this line in 11\/13 games against teams ranked above average in pull up defense when Oklahoma City wins by 15+ points (avg 32.3\/game). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gilgeous-Alexander 51% of his points on pull up jump shots and the Chicago Bulls rank 7th defensively in that area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n SGA could see easy buckets at the rim but so should the rest of his teammates and it should be tough sledding in the mid-range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n SGA shouldn’t see the court in the 4th quarter, and he’ll be focused on more meaningful games with teams like New York and Detroit coming up on the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNBA Props Picks for Friday: Onyeka Okongwu Atlanta Hawks OVER 12.5 Points (-112)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
