NBA Prop Bet of the Day

P.J. Washington OVER 13.5 points vs. Indiana (-105, BetMGM)

Based on this dunderhead’s recent performance in NBA picks, or any selections for that matter, Adam Sandler, sporting calf-low baggy shorts stylish in 2005 and a polo, may have better shot of messing around and getting a triple-double against the Jazz than I do actually winning a bet. Still, the fruitless efforts shall continue. Maybe Washington will snap the funk. Struggling down the homestretch going 9-for-34 over his final three regular season contests, the former Kentucky Wildcat should bring max effort in Tuesday’s play-in game against the Pacers. Prior to his unexciting finish, the forward did exceed 14 points in nine of 10 games. His consistent 30-plus minutes played combined with a high-shot frequency arrow to the above number being an excellent value. His recent history against the Pacers — he scored 19 and 18 points in back-to-back January contests against them — only supports the notion. So does the paper matchup. Over the last 15 games, Nate Bjorkgen’s club is the sixth-easiest matchup for a stretch big according to the FTN Daily Advanced DvP tool. It’s time to ball, like Sandler.
