Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
Bradley Beal Over 1.5 Made Threes (+164)
You might be wondering how come we're getting such high odds for a proven player like Beal to score only two threes. Well, the answer is pretty simple. The 30-year old has struggled with injuries a lot this season and isn't exactly performing like the player we saw put up 30 a night with the Washington Wizards. I'm confident it's only a matter of time he turns things around, the Lakers might be the perfect team to do so against. He's averaging 1.9 makes from three against them in the last 10 meetings, failing to clear this line on only two occasions. LA's struggles defending the perimeter are well known around the NBA, they're ranked only 21st in the league allowing opponents to shoot 38% from three. In their last 3 games that number has gone up to a whopping 46.2%, the worst in the entire NBA during that stretch. Time for Beal to remind us just how good of an offensive player he is, so let's back him to knock down a pair of threes here.
