NBA 2-man Same Game Parlay: Buddy Hield (Warriors) UNDER 2.5 Assists & Andrew Nembhard (Pacers) UNDER 1.5 Made 3PT
Good morning Prop Nation! We dish out 3 free plays for you as always and we start in the NBA with a little same-game parlay action as the Warriors visit the Pacers. For the first leg I want you guys to take Buddy Hield UNDER 2.5 Assists. Hield has been playing more minutes again with the ins and outs of Curry and Wiggins to the lineup but he’s not a guy that racks up assists consistently, and in particular on a back-to-back. He averages just 1.5 assists/game on the season because he’s usually looking to get up his own shot. Through 13 games in the month of December he averaged less than one assist per game, at 0.7/game. I love his under tonight regardless of who’s playing for Golden State. For the 2nd leg I want you guys to take Andrew Nembhard UNDER 1.5 Made 3PT. This is a fade machine line all season as he’s averaging just 0.8 made threes per game on 2.5 attempts, shooting 33%. Nembhard does a lot of good things on the floor and can attack the rim but 3-point shooting is not his strength. Take Hield UNDER 2.5 Assists and Nembhard UNDER 1.5 Made threes for a parlay that pays out at +161 odds. Bet responsibly as nothing is a sure thing and particularly on plus money plays like this just go light on it. Bet what you can afford and still enjoy watching the game.
NBA: Derrick White (Celtics) OVER 22.5 PRA (pts, rebs, assts)
For free prop #2 I’m transitioning to the Celtics vs Kings in what should be a really good basketball game. I’m going Derrick White OVER 22.5 PRA. He averages 26 PRA on the season which is falsely elevated with different starters sitting out constantly and his scoring steps up in those absences. Nonetheless, White has really solidified himself as a key piece on this roster. I’ve even read sports analysts write that he’s the most important piece on the floor for what the Celtics do night in and night out as a 2-way player. White is coming off a down night shooting where he was 2/11 from three. I expect a bounceback game because the two games prior he put up 23 and 26 points. He can also rack up rebounds and assists, averaging more than 4 per game in each category. He has so many ways to get to the number tonight. Lock in Derrick White OVER 22.5 PRA.
NCAAF: Emeka Egbuka (Ohio State) OVER 61.5 Receiving Yards
For the third and final free prop we want you guys to hammer Emeka Egbuka of Ohio State Over 61.5 Receiving Yards. Emeka Egbuka is looking to cap off an incredible career at Ohio State with a National Championship. Before he can do that though, the Buckeyes need to take care of Texas. When this Ohio State offense is clicking, there isn’t a team in the country that can stop them. Since the loss to Michigan, Ohio State has dominated offensively in the passing and running game. Texas has an elite defense, but they haven’t faced an offense like this. Jeremiah Smith is the most polished freshman receiver we may have ever seen and the Longhorn defense will be focused on trying to slow him down. This creates opportunities for Egbuka who is averaging 62 receiving yards per game this season. Emeka has gone over this number in 3 of the last 4 games and is an extremely balanced receiver who Howard targets short, medium, and deep. Lock in Emeka Egbuka Over 61.5 Receiving Yards!
