NBA Player Props – Nuggets vs. Heat, June 7, 2023
- o24.5 Points
- o11.5 Rebounds
- more than 7.0 Assists
o24.5 Points (-125), FanDuel
has gone under his market number for points in each of the first two games of this series, but Game 2 had signs of a breakout performance. In that contest, Butler took 19 shots and got to the foul line five times. If not for an extremely inefficient night shooting the basketball, Butler would have eclipsed this market number with a few points to spare. During the regular season, Butler averaged 24.2 points per game at home compared to 21.6 points per game on the road. Expect him to be more efficient in Game 3, leading to an over on his points prop.
o11.5 Rebounds (-132), FanDuel
In each of the first two games of this series, has had 20 rebound chances. In the series opener, he converted those opportunities to only 10 actual rebounds, and in Game 2 he managed only 11 actual rebounds. During the postseason, Jokic is converting 59.1% of his rebound chances to actual rebounds, suggesting that bettors are likely to see positive regression in this department for Jokic sooner rather than later. Fire away again on his rebound prop in Game 3.

more than 7.0 Assists, PrizePicks
In Game 1, had 17 potential assists, which seemed to be an outlier in terms of volume relative to his opportunities from the first three rounds of the postseason. However, Murray followed up his Game 1 performance with 21 potential assists in Game 2. It is self-evident that the read we had ahead of Game 2 was poor and that the Miami Heat are intentionally trying to keep Jokic from being the team’s primary facilitator. The market has not appropriately responded to Murray’s new ball-dominant role in the offense, giving us an opportunity to potentially get our money back in Game 3 on the other side of this play.
