NBA Prop Bet of the Day

Rui Hachimura OVER .5 made threes at Toronto (-120, BetMGM)

Wan baketsu. That’s all the ‘Japanese Jumpman’ requires to cash a ticket. Assuming he bounces back from the illness he came down with Wednesday, scratching him from Washington’s tilt against Milwaukee, he’s in a terrific position to splash one triple through the cylinder. Admittedly, he’s the antithesis of an outside volume shooter. Since April 1, Rui has averaged only 1.6 three-point attempts per game. Still, he’s nailed at least one triple in five of his last six games. More encouraging, Hachimura squares off against the clawless Raptors. Toronto, mentally thinking about umbrella drinks on Waikiki, are in full mail-in mode. On the season, the Raptors rank No. 25 in three-point percentage D, though they’ve performed even worse of late surrendering 41.3% over their last three.
