The third-year forward tore his oblique weeks into the season and was asked to jump on a moving train after missing two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\">Still, I&#8217;m encouraged by a few things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\">Banchero doesn&#8217;t appear to be on a minute restriction anymore. He&#8217;s played 40-plus minutes in two of his last three games after failing to crack 30 in his first five since returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\">And secondly, he&#8217;s taking a ton of shots, which is important, even if they&#8217;re not going in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Banchero is averaging 21.3 FGA over his last four games.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He&#8217;s scored 20+ points twice in that span, clearing this line once. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I expect a rebound from Banchero coming off his worst game of the season (a 4-of-19 shooting performance against the Utah Jazz).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Warriors own the second-worst mid-range defence, according to Cleaning the Glass. Banchero takes 41% of his shots from that area of the court, which ranks in the 87th percentile for all NBA players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Golden State allows the fifth-most PPG to power forwards, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wembanyama over 23.5 points (-121)<\/strong>: The Victor Wembanyama show is about to get a lot more exciting with De&#8217;Aaron Fox in the mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>San Antonio took a huge leap this year with Wemby breaking out as a scorer and now adds a bonafide stud PG in the mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we&#8217;ll have plenty of time to talk about Fox \u2014 let&#8217;s look at what Wembanyama&#8217;s done over his last 20 games:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>25.4 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20+ points 16 times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>24+ points 9 times<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Wembayma is getting to 20 points on most nights which is a great baseline to work with. The Memphis Grizzlies are a strong defensive team but give up the seventh-most points to opposing centres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brooks over 2.5 threes (+123)<\/strong>: Brooks is on a mini-heater and I want in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian shooting guard has made 18 threes in his last four games, clearing this line three times. He&#8217;s shooting with volume and accuracy and should get more looks with Fred VanVleet sidelined tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brooks is also going up against a New York Knicks team that is dreadful at defending the perimeter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Knicks have the highest opponent 3-point percentage (37.9) and give up the 11th-most 3s per game (11.7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>Picks made at 9:19 a.m. ET on 02\/03\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two budding superstars headline Monday&#8217;s NBA prop bets.
