NBA Prop Bet of the Day

Damian Lillard OVER 32.5 points vs. Denver (-125, William Hill) 

Getting a bucket of popcorn dumped on you by a surly Sixers fan after you rolled an ankle. Russell Westbrook, this terrible bettor can empathize. The insult to injury levied by the sportsbooks over the past several days mercifully came to an end as Trae Young cashed the over in a Game 2 loss inside a deafening MSG. Can lightning strike twice? Given the electricity Lillard typically exhibits in the postseason, tailing his points line is a smart money wager. On the road, he hung 34 and 42 points in back-to-back series games, including a record-tying first-half three-point shooting display Monday. Bound to chuck another 23-25 shots, he has solid odds of flirting with 40 versus a Nuggets defense ranked as the eighth-best matchup for a point guard over the last 15 games.
