Ben’s Bet of the Day

Awesemo’s sports betting expert Ben Rasa pours over the day’s betting lines and breaks down the best bet of the day for you to build your sports betting card around.

Kemba Walker — OVER 4.5 Assists

Coming off a brutal matchup against the Raptors, I’m looking to smash the overs on as many Kemba Walker props as I can today. While I can still get behind the over on Walker’s points (19.5) and 3’s made (1.5), it’s the over 4.5 assists I really want to take advantage of. For the 2019-20 regular season, Walker sported a healthy 27.2% usage; in the Raptors series against elite defenders Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet, that number crashed to 20% on the dot. Look for Brad Stevens to utilize his star point guard more in the offensive scheme in this series, as Goran Dragic is the weak defensive link to an otherwise stout Miami Heat unit. Be early to this prop before it shoots up later in the series.

Nikola Jokic — UNDER 2.5 3-Pointers Made

Well well well, this prop sure changed drastically. After hammering the over on 1.5 made 3’s for the past five games in which they all hit, this prop finally adjusted up to 2.5. Jokic will continue to get good looks from the top of the key, as Ivica Zubac can’t come out to contest or he’ll get beat off the dribble. But 2.5 is a drastically different number, as he’s averaged only 5.67 shots from deep in this series. That means he’d need to hit at a 50% clip in Game 7 to go over on this prop, which is a hard ask even if he’s uncontested. Whenever a prop severely adjusts like this, jump on the other side and live with the result.

Marcus Morris — UNDER 11.5 Points

Morris has exceeded expectations in this series, shooting 52% from the field and nearly 50% from 3. With the sudden demise of Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell on the offensive end, he’s actually third for Los Angeles in scoring behind stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. However, he’s done all of this despite averaging only eight field goal attempts and 1.2 free throws per game. The shooting already feels unsustainable for a player with a career 43% field goal percentage. So without shot volume to back up his current rate of production, 11.5 points feels like a reach in a do-or-die Game 7. Ride on the under here.

Eric Lindquist hails from Sioux Falls, South Dakota (yes, that’s the one with Mount Rushmore). A steady diet of three SportsCenters a day at an early age led to his obsession with sports, one that 30 years later is paying dividends for him as a successful DFS player and sports bettor. Despite over half a million dollars in net career earnings, he’s most passionate about helping others achieve their financial goals, an energy you can witness on the daily in his current role as a host and analyst at Stokastic. He’s a former Division I golfer at Iowa State, wishes he was a former Minnesota sports fan, and is a proud father to a 100-pound Bernese Mountain dog named Duke that wishes he could just eat people food instead of the crap he and his wife feed him on the daily.
