PrizePicks NBA Player Predictions | Nov. 24
Tyrese Haliburton M/L 3.5 3PT-Made
Tyrese Haliburton has put up some MVP type numbers over the lat five games averaging 28 points and 5.0 3PM boosted by nine 3PM against the Hawks in the highest scoring game of the season. He’s averaging 3.8 3PM, third best in the NBA and is shooting a career-high 46.8% from deep. However, tonight’s matchup is a tough one as Detroit allows just 10.8 3PM on 28.9 attempts both second lowest in the NBA. It’s hard to root against a guy like Haliburton but numbers don’t lie and he might not get enough attempts to get there tonight.

Jimmy Butler M/L 5.5 Rebounds
The Miami Heat take on the Knicks in New York as 5-point underdogs tonight. This game is expected to be low scoring with just a 212 total. The Knicks are the best rebounding team in the NBA and rank number one in opponent rebounds per game allowing just 39.2. Jimmy Butler is going to have a tough time getting to six rebounds tonight. Butler is averaging 4.2 rebounds in six games without Tyler Herro who will miss another game. In that span, he got to six rebounds just one time and that was against the Spurs who rank 23rd in opponent rebounds.
OddsShopper’s Positive EV Bets tool tell us today that less than 5.5 rebounds for Butler has 6% EV score and a 58% Win%, both best bets for today’s NBA games.
