NBC Sports Betting Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Bradley Beal to go Under his 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists prop:
“I would say fading Bradley Beal for the second straight game is the way to go. Beal is dealing with an elbow issue and in the last game it affected him.
Beal finished with seven points on 3-of-9 from the field, three assists, and two rebounds in 32 minutes against Miami. This is his first road game in over two weeks or the first two games of the season, so I don’t have much confidence as he faces Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and Klay Thompson for the first time this year (Beal missed the first meeting).
I like Beal Under 23.5 PRA or his 15.5 points prop, whichever is the most available.”
