NBA Prop bets – Thursday Dec 22

ASA player prop OVER 2.5 3-POINTERS CJ McCollum – New Orleans Pelicans

McCollum has made 3 or more 3-pointers in 3 straight games and 4 of his last five games. He averages 2.31 makes per game on the season but will have an increased usage here with two of the Pelicans leading scorers out tonight. The Spurs are one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA ranking 30th in PPG allowed, 30th in opponents FG% and 3PT%. We expect McCollum to make 4 or more tonight.

ASA player prop OVER 21.5 POINTS Kyle Kuzma – Washington Wizards

Kyle Kuzma returns to Utah where he played in college, and we are betting he puts up big numbers tonight. Kuzma is averaging 21.55PPG on the season and has improved that average to 24.5PPG in his last nine games. He has scored 22 or more in 3 of his last four games. He will get plenty of opportunities here as he averages 19.2 field goals attempts per game in his last ten. The Jazz are 26th in the NBA in defensive efficiency rating for the season and have been even worse in their last five games, giving up 1.166 points per possession. Utah is the 5th worst team when it comes to defending power forwards as they allow 23.7PPG on 52.6% shooting.
