Tonight represents a quite night in the NBA with just 2 game on the slate. However, those games will be significant for those in action. The Golden State Warriors will be looking to pick up their first road win of the season after dropping their first 4 games. The Orlando Magic on the other hand will be hoping to climb off the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Then later, the Oklahoma City Thunder will be looking to avenge their loss to the Denver Nuggets earlier in the season.
You can find our full previews here, but for now check out my favorite player prop selections.
Draymond Green of the Warriors will have a huge role to play in tonight's game. Going up against a big Orlando Magic squad, he will likely draw the assignment of picking up rookie sensation Paolo Banchero. That should help ensure he plays over 30 minutes tonight, which would set him up well to hit this over. He has recorded a combined 21 or more points, rebounds and assists in 4 of his last 5 games and he could be set to do it once more here.
The Warriors are likely to try and test the rookie power forward by running screen and roll action with Green. That should help create both scoring and assisting opportunities for the Warriors man. Teams do tend to hedge on the screens, ignoring Green when he rolls to the rim which can set him up well to attack the basket. He was particularly successful in doing this recently against the Charlotte Hornets. We could see something similar tonight. With the Magic also ranking 23rd in the league in true shooting percentage, there should be plenty of misses for him to chase down too. Back the over on this one.
