NBA Player Prop Bets for FanDuel: Booker, Reid, Middleton, Washington, Haliburton
In a surprising turn of events, Devin Booker, known for his scoring prowess, struggled to find his rhythm in Game One against the Minnesota Timberwolves, only managing to score 18 points on 31.3 percent shooting. This has led to oddsmakers setting the line for Booker to score under 24.5 points in the next game at -108 on FanDuel.
Despite averaging 27.1 points during the regular season, Booker has had difficulty against the Wolves, averaging just 21.3 points in their previous meetings. The Wolves’ defensive strategy of focusing on shutting down the rest of the Suns’ team and letting Kevin Durant go one-on-one has made it challenging for Booker to get his usual looks.
On the other hand, Naz Reid, the Sixth Man of the Year candidate for the Timberwolves, has been a reliable scorer off the bench. With his size and spacing causing problems for the Suns, oddsmakers have set the line for Reid to score over 11.5 points at -106 on FanDuel.
Meanwhile, Khris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks is expected to have a bigger role in facilitating the offense in the absence of a scoring hot Damian Lillard. With Middleton averaging 7.0 assists in March and 5.7 in April, oddsmakers have set the line for him to record over 5.5 assists at -125 on FanDuel.
P.J. Washington of the Charlotte Hornets is also expected to have a strong rebounding performance against the Los Angeles Clippers, who struggled on the boards in Game One. With Washington playing heavy minutes due to his versatility, oddsmakers have set the line for him to grab over 5.5 rebounds at -106 on FanDuel.
Lastly, Tyrese Haliburton of the Minnesota Timberwolves is facing a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, who have had success against the Denver Nuggets in recent matchups. Oddsmakers have set the line for Haliburton to score under 18.5 points at -106 on FanDuel.
With these intriguing player prop bets available on FanDuel, fans can add an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming games.
