NBA Player Prop #2: Jordan Poole Over 26.5 Points (-118)
Jordan Poole has played great in the two games since Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry was sidelined with a shoulder injury. Poole has averaged 36.0 points per game while shooting 55.8% from the field, 45.0% from the 3-point range and 88.2% from the free-throw line.
With Curry out of the lineup, Poole has averaged 7.5 more field goal attempts 2.5 more 3-point attempts and 4.5 more free-throw attempts per game. Look for the fourth-year player to continue to take advantage of the extra opportunities by finishing with at least 27 points.
