Chris Paul Player Prop: Best Magic-Warriors Betting Pick Today
Chris Paul has joined the starting five for the Golden State Warriors, taking over at point guard, leaving Stephen Curry to play the two and Klay Thompson to play the three.
The move increases his volume — Chris Paul averages 26.2 points, rebounds and assists (PRA) when starting this year — but some of that production came when other players, like Curry himself, were sitting.
When playing alongside Curry, Paul is averaging only 19.7 PRA per game. He averages 19.9 when playing alongside Thompson as well.
Paul now draws a matchup with a stingy Orlando Magic defense. The Magic rank fifth in defensive rating (110.6) and sixth in rebound rate (51.7%). They allow the fifth-fewest points (110.7), fewest assists (23.2) and the fourth-fewest rebounds (40.9).
OddsShopper Premium reveals a market disparity on the betting odds for the under. The under 24.5 will cost you -110 (52.4%) at BetMGM but -132 (56.9%) at Pinnacle, a sharp book. Our model estimates the true odds, or a breakeven price, to be -119 (54.3%) — making this a +EV wager with enough edge for a bettor with a $1,000 bankroll to justify a $17 wager.
