Earlier today, I shared successful SI Betting’s champion NBA props column why I deliberation this could beryllium a buy-low spot for Derrick White successful nan prop market:
Boston Celtics defender Derrick White has gotten disconnected to a slow commencement shooting nan 3-ball, knocking down conscionable 25.0 percent of his attempts done nan first 7 games of nan season.
Still, he’s attempted 9.7 3-pointers per game, giving him a awesome level erstwhile it comes to this prop connected Monday night.
Boston hosts nan Utah Jazz – who are playing nan 2nd nighttime of a back-to-back – and Utah is dormant past successful nan NBA successful force 3-pointers made per crippled (17.3). Boston loves to sprout nan 3-ball nether Joe Mazzulla, and White has 4 games already this play pinch double-digit changeable attempts from beyond nan arc.
He’s worthy a look to move astir his slow commencement from heavy connected Monday.
This is simply a awesome spot for nan Celtics to bounce backmost from their nonaccomplishment to Houston, arsenic nan Jazz are 1 of nan worst defenses successful nan NBA (26th successful protect rating), and are coming disconnected a blowout nonaccomplishment to nan Charlotte Hornets, who didn’t person Brandon Miller aliases LaMelo Ball connected Sunday.
Now, Boston has a afloat patient lineup (outside of Jayson Tatum of course) astatine location successful this matchup.
Utah has hung reliable successful a fewer games this season, but this is simply a stylistic nightmare for nan Jazz, arsenic they let nan astir 3s per crippled successful nan NBA and Celtics return nan most, ranking seventh successful nan NBA successful 3s made per game.
With nan Jazz connected nan 2nd nighttime of a back-to-back, I can’t spot them to support this crippled close, particularly since they’ve now mislaid back-to-back games by 20-plus points aft a alternatively competitory commencement to nan season.
Boston should rotation astatine home.
Pick: Celtics -10.5 (-115 astatine DraftKings)
