Hawks vs Warriors Player Prop Bets – Dejounte Murray Over 39.5 Points, Assists, and Rebounds (-120)
Dejounte Murray is a clear No. 1 option on offense for the Hawks when Trae Young is not around. Young will sit one more game due to a concussion, which is another great opportunity for Murray to impress. Just as I predicted the last time out, Murray dominated the floor and combined for 51 points, assists, and rebounds.
Now, the bookies learned from that and lifted the line in this market. Even at 39.5, I am sure Murray will deliver. He’s facing Stephen Curry, who is not a particularly good defender. Murray has a height advantage and a favorable matchup, so the points should come without a problem.
Rebounds and assists will also be there. Murray is the main source of dishes when Young is sidelined. He’s also a good rebounder, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he combined for 50+ PTS, AST, and REB once again.
Golden State allows 25.5 ppg, 8.8 apg, and 6.3 rpg to the opposing point guards, which is just over 40.0 per game. We need 40 from Murray, and I am sure this pick will hit again in an expected high-scoring affair.
Bogdan Bogdanovic Under 3.5 Threes Made (-140)
Bogdan Bogdanovic had an excellent seven-game stretch of 20+ points in December, but recently, he hasn’t been very efficient on offense. Bogi failed to score more than 18 points in the previous ten games, and the line on him is 18.5 points. I mulled between that and the threes made and ultimately opted for the latter.
During this 10-game span during which Bogdanovic scored below 19 points, he managed to hit 4+ triples just once. He now connected eight consecutive games with under 3.5 threes made, and I don’t expect him to explode on Wednesday.
The Warriors allow 3.4 threes per game to the opposing shooting guards. Bogdan averages 2.4 triples a game in 15 showings against Golden State in his career.
I decided not to back any of the home team players in this Hawks vs Warriors Player Prop Bets because I didn’t like what I saw. For more NBA prop picks, make sure to read our Cavaliers vs Bucks Player Prop Bets.
