Scottie Barnes (TOR) Under 20.5 points (-120)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.
We cashed our Scottie Barnes under 34.5 pts + rebs + asts prop with a bit of a scare late in the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night. Barnes was held to just 3 pts + rebs + asts in the 1st quarter, finishing with 30 PRA despite playing well into the blowout loss. Bettors who faded his points prop were treated to a terrible beat, as he scored 7 points in the final frame –nonetheless, his under of 20.5 points is where I’m taking the action on Sunday.
BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN and Bet365 all have elected to offer Barnes point prop at 20.5. Meanwhile, FanDuel and DraftKings are down to 19.5. In the 39 games Barnes has played this season, he has landed on 20 points on 3 different occasions — making it worth it to pay up for the juice at 20.5 points priced at -120 compared to DraftKings offering 19.5 at -105. Much like Friday’s contest against the Thunder, the Rockets present a tough individual matchup for Barnes. Blowout potential is on the horizon with the Raptors down much of their core, too.
