And right now he&#8217;s on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 25, Poole is the sage veteran surrounded by youngsters in the Washington Wizards&#8217; backcourt. So far, that has meant he&#8217;s left to his own devices when chucking deep shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poole has attempted 35 threes already through just four games, and 20 of them have found twine. That&#8217;s a 57.1% 3-point percentage, which is unsustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the superb start should encourage Poole to keep shooting. And tonight&#8217;s matchup makes that proposition even more compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poole&#8217;s Wizards host the Miami Heat, a team that seems content with daring its opponents to shoot from beyond the arc. Bold strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s where the Heat rank in terms of opponent 3-point shooting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>15.8 made threes\/game (29th)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>42.0 attempted threes\/game (29th)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>37.5 3PT% (20th)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Take Poole, who&#8217;s shooting confidently from beyond the arc, and put him up against a team that struggles mightily to defend from deep. Sounds like a winning combo to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poole has gone over 3.5 threes in all four games this year, and I think he&#8217;ll add to that streak tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Miami has allowed 5.5 made threes per game to opposing shooting guards, per Betting Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa134a48-a478-432b-95e0-66881f0d337b\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wembanyama under 10.5 rebounds (-110):<\/strong> I probably won&#8217;t make a habit of fading Wembanyama&#8217;s rebounds prop at this number, but I think it makes sense tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minnesota Timberwolves have a trio of frontcourt guys who have enough size to contend with the 7-foot-4, 209-pound centre. None of Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid or Julius Randle are as tall as Wemby, but they all have at least 40 pounds on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, Wemby went under 10.5 rebounds in three of four matchups against Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so far this season, the reigning Rookie of the Year has hit the under in four of five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>George over 17.5 points (-120):<\/strong> This is a volume play on a guy who&#8217;s trying to shoot through a slump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>George, a second-year guard, has a 28.0% FG rate so far through five games. He&#8217;s averaging 13.2 points on 15.0 shots per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those are awful, awful numbers. But the shot volume is what I&#8217;m eyeing. If he keeps that pace, this point total should be attainable every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday, George&#8217;s Utah Jazz are catching the Denver Nuggets on the latter half of a back-to-back. Denver, which lost in Minnesota last night, has allowed 118.8 points per game this season (23rd in the NBA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last time George played in Denver was in March of last season. He finished with 29 points on 10-of-17 shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 11:40 a.m. on 11\/02\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My three NBA prop bets for Saturday night feature Victor Wembanyama, Jordan Poole and Keyonte George.
