A few key guards make our prop slate for Wednesday’s NBA action. Starting in Charlotte, Kon Kneuppel should continue to stay hot from downtown, while up in Madison Square Garden, Brunson and the Knicks look to snap a four-game losing streak.
The rookie out of Duke has been nothing short of incredible this season, scoring 19.5 PPG on 48/43.5/88 shooting splits. After returning from injury over the new year, Kon has dropped 20/26/18/23 points on 19 made threes.
Facing a Toronto team tonight that allowed five threes to Kneuppel in their last matchup, I am riding the hot-handed rookie to continue to shoot it lights out from beyond the arc. Kon made 4.0 threes per contest in December.
Gillespie has been the constant stabilizer for Phoenix, who could have easily picked up their seventh win in eight games if KD didn’t hit an incredible game-winner against his former squad.
The Philly product has a great chance to bounce back tonight after two subpar shooting performances (combined 7/21 FG). From December 18th to January 2nd, Collin didn’t have a single game under 15 points.
He will get back to his mark against a Grizzlies defense that stands in the middle of the pack and lost four straight before a shock win last night against San Antonio. Take the Suns and Gillespie in this one.
This is a juicy matchup for JB against a Clippers team that has been red-hot as of late, outside of one blowout loss to Boston. The Clippers are finally finding their rhythm on offense, but on defense, they still allow a lot of scoring from the point guard position.
Brunson is coming off a rough game in a blowout loss to Detroit while scoring 25 points and dropping a stunning zero-assist night.
Hitting this mark consistently in December, I’m looking for an angry Brunson to get to his spot and the line in this game as New York looks to snap a four-game losing streak.
