And he&#8217;s been on a nice little tear over the last 10 games:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>17.6 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>41.9 3PT%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>15+ points in 8\/10 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One of those games was against the Knicks on Feb. 8 when White scored 17 points while making 4-of-7 threes in a blowout effort (he only played 25 minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming this game is closer, I like White&#8217;s chances of racking up points by exploiting the NBA&#8217;s worst 3-point defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: White is 2-0 against this line while playing the Knicks this year, shooting a combined 10-for-17 in those games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Herro over 23.5 points (-118):<\/strong> Herro is poised for a monster night. Jimmy Butler is out which means the sharpshooting guard is officially top dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was the case most of the year to begin with, as Herro has posted career-highs in points (23.9), 3s made (3.7) and 3s attempted (9.7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He scored 28 points against the Toronto Raptors in his first game since the all-star break and has cleared this line in three of his last six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Herro gets a Milwaukee Bucks team which allows the most points per game to opposing point guards, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mobley under 18.5 points (-120):<\/strong> Mobley is having the best scoring year of his career but this is a prime fade spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grizzlies are one of the best defensive teams in basketball, ranking seventh in defensive rating (111.0) and third in opponent field goal percentage (45.1%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobley does a lot of his damage in the mid-range and Memphis has the best mid-range defence in the NBA, per Cleaning the Glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleveland&#8217;s power forward is efficient but only takes 12.6 shots per game. I can see the Grizzlies making his life difficult.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>Picks made at 9:43 a.m. ET on 02\/22\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve got three prop bets for Sunday&#8217;s all-day NBA slate.
