Wednesday night is the first full slate of NBA basketball. It's our first real opportunity to get aggressive from an odds perspective and play around with alternate lines (points, rebounds assists, 3PM). The amount of player props I provide will vary as I do not want to force any plays or put out too much. Early in the season coaches go deep into their bench to find out which rotations work best. It's also a great opportunity to find value in players at new locations or rookies with low lines. All plays are 0.5U. Let's look at a few props that fit this mold.
Tyrese Haliburton(IND) Over 15.5 Points (-120)
Line available at DraftKings sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Haliburton is one of my favorite players in the league that is not a household name.' He finally is getting his own team even though it is a tanking one. Malcolm Brogdon is no longer on the team to eat into his USG and Haliburton averaged 17PPG post-All Star Break last season. Without Brogdon, Haliburton averaged 18.6PPG as a Pacer and hit this line in 13/18(72%). Haliburton makes a big jump this season into all star caliber player.
