The Oklahoma City Thunder host their home opener tonight against the Atlanta Hawks, and I’ve got player props on both sides of the matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative<\/strong>: Trae Young feasted on some plus matchups in his first two games of the year, but I think he’s worth fading on Sunday. As for OKC, I like Jalen Williams to find his scoring touch after some encouraging shot volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: CJ McCollum over 3.5 threes (-114)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #98467<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last season, for the first time in his 12-year career, McCollum fired more attempts from 3-point range than he did from 2-point range. And it worked out quite well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCollum shot 42.9% from beyond the arc on 8.4 attempts. That was the best 3PT% of his career, and it was the sixth-highest among players who attempted at least 3.5 threes per night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that McCollum came out of the gate firing from deep in the first week of the new season. After a 5-for-11 effort in the opener, he followed up with a 4-for-9 showing on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will he keep up that volume all year? Perhaps not, but he should have a green light right now to keep heaving \u2014 and not just because it’s going well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dejounte Murray, who averaged 7.1 attempted threes last year, is out for four-to-six weeks with a fractured hand. And Trey Murphy, who averaged 7.8 3PA, is sidelined with a hamstring strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trail Blazers don’t profile as a plus matchup for 3-point shooters, as their opponents last year shot just 35.1% from deep (third-lowest in the NBA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this is a sheer volume play for a stellar outside shooter, and 3.5 threes are well within his range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat<\/strong>: McCollum has cashed this number in three straight games against the Blazers, including their most recent matchup this past Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Williams over 20.5 points (-125)<\/strong>: Is there a Year 3 leap coming for Williams on a rising Oklahoma City Thunder squad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #98470<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s too soon to tell, but the shooting guard has already taken 38 shots in his first two games, which is fantastic volume for a points prop like this. He hasn’t found an efficient stroke yet, but I think that’ll happen tonight at home against the Atlanta Hawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta allowed the third-highest 3-point percentage last year (38.4%), as well as the third-most points to opposing shooting guards (23.7\/game), per Betting Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams shot 56.4% from the floor on OKC’s home court last year, which includes a blistering 45.0% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young under 36.5 points\/assists (-118):<\/strong> Young has 30-plus points and 10-plus assists in both games so far, so you might be hesitant to fade him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #98472<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I get that, but it’s important to note that he had a pair of cupcake matchups at home against two hapless squads (Nets, Hornets). A road date against the Thunder is a much different ballgame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OKC posted the fourth-best defensive rating last year while holding opposing point guards to the fourth-fewest PPG (22.9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the two previous seasons, Young hit this under in three of four matchups against the Thunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
