After 2 big slates of NBA games since returning from all-star break, we get a much smaller pallet on Saturday — 6 in total with the Raptors and Pistons tipping off at noon ET. The game of the night is easily Boston vs Philadelphia in what could be an Eastern Conference Finals matchup. Denver and Memphis offer a similar level of star power and playoff possibility, but the diehard basketball fan in me loves watching games like Indiana vs Orlando.
Below are 4 player props ranging from 0.5U to 1.5U. Let's take a look!
Bojan Bogdanovic (DET) Over 20.5 points (-110)
Some bets are very straight forward and require little nuance to communicate: this is a great number against a solid matchup. Bogdanovic is averaging 22.7 ppg over the L10, including a 33point performance against Toronto on February 12. The Pistons are coming home after a 3-game road trip and Bogdanovic is averaging nearly +2 ppg better at home. The Raptors have given up the 7th-most ppg to opposing SFs on the season and 5th-most 3PM per game to the same position. Yes, OG Anunoby is back and will likely matchup on Bogdanovic this time around, but in their first matchup on the year (w/ Anunoby) Bogdanovic finished with 18 on 6 of 10 shooting from the FT line (well below his 88% for the season). Getting a discounted line outweighs Anunoby's presence in my opinion. 1U.
