Wednesday's NBA player props
As mentioned in our Mavericks vs. Lakers player props article, I like Los Angeles reserve Christian Wood to maintain his recent form. With the Lakers switching their rotation around to generate more offense, Wood has seen an uptick in minutes and production this month.
Wood has averaged 19.5 minutes per contest in January, turning that into a scoring average of 12.2 points per outing. He has cleared this mark in all six contests, reaching double figures in five of them. That's why we are also tempted by the +200 price on Wood to score 10-plus points at FanDuel.
When Wood is in the game, he will look for opportunities to put the ball through the hoop. He's averaging eight field goal attempts per game in January, launching 10 shot s in half of his matchups this month. Against his former team, Wood figures to be even more aggressive than usual when he is on the floor.
With a projection of roughly 10 points, there is some serious value on this current Over at FanDuel. None of our other best sports betting apps are even offering odds for Wood.
