NBA Player Props Today – Monday, February 5, 2024
- Scottie Barnes Over/Under 7.5 Rebounds
- D’Angelo Russell Over/Under 2.5 3-Pointers Made
- Darius Garland Over/Under 13.5 Points
Scottie Barnes Over/Under 7.5 Rebounds
Entering play on Monday, Barnes has recorded 7 rebounds or fewer in 5 consecutive games and 15 of his last 17 games. In those 17 games, Barnes is averaging only 11.2 rebound chances per game, which is not nearly enough volume for a player to routinely flirt with 8 rebounds. This is simply a system play whenever we get an opportunity to bet Barnes under 7.5 rebounds. We will live with the results.
- PICK: Barnes UNDER 7.5 Rebounds (-135), DraftKings
D’Angelo Russell Over/Under 2.5 3-Pointers Made
The Hornets have struggled to defend the perimeter of late, ranking 30th in opponent 3-point percentage across the last 30 days, but they have still done a good job limiting opponent volume from this area of the floor, ranking 10th in opponent 3-point attempts per game during that stretch. Russell has some of the most stark shooting splits of any player in the NBA this season, hitting 46.2% of his attempts from long range at home compared to only 37% on the road. If Charlotte can limit his volume from 3-point territory tonight, the under will have a good chance to cash.
- PICK: Russell UNDER 2.5 3-Pointers Made (-120), DraftKings
Darius Garland Over/Under 13.5 Points
Garland has been on a minutes restriction since returning to the floor at the end of January, but he is still more than capable of clearing this market number in a favorable matchup against the Kings. Garland had 19 points in 20 minutes on January 31st against the Pistons, but he has fallen short of this market number in back-to-back games, in large part due to poor efficiency from the floor. If Garland sees roughly 25 minutes of court time this evening and experiences some positive regression to the mean shooting the basketball, he will have a great chance to get the job done for us.
- PICK: Garland OVER 13.5 Points (-122), FanDuel
