The shakeup is worth mentioning, but it shouldn&#8217;t deter bettors from a prop like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Braun is an efficient 3-point shooter (39.8%) whose volume disappoints at times. But he&#8217;s trending up in that regard, which is nice to see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>October &#8211; February (59 games):<\/strong> 2.6 attempts\/game, 36.8 3PT%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>March &#8211; April (17 games):<\/strong> 3.8 attempts\/game, 46.9 3PT%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With a line this low, any 3-point shot volume increase is significant. And it should continue with a Grade-A matchup against the Sacramento Kings on deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kings allow the second-most 3s per game (14.7) on the highest opponent 3PT% (38.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Braun is 5-for-11 against the Kings from deep this season, cashing this bet in both games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Since the start of March, Braun has gone over 1.5 threes in 10 of 17 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best NBA picks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTcxMDUzJnA9MjM3MDk%3D\">White over 22.5 points (-117)<\/a>:<\/strong> If you haven&#8217;t been paying attention to the Bulls lately, you&#8217;re missing the Coby White show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sixth-year guard has been on a mission in the past month-plus, putting up big scoring numbers on almost a nightly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out his stats in 18 games since March 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>28.4 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>51.7 FG%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>40.0 3PT%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>89.3 FT%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25+ points in 15 of 18<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>White rested yesterday, so he should be in peak form despite the fact that the Chicago Bulls are on a back-to-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He finished just shy of this mark on the road against the Miami Heat recently (21 points on March 8), but that was a game in which he shot 0-for-8 from deep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In tonight&#8217;s rematch at home, I love his opportunity to smash the over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTcxMDUzJnA9MjM3MDk%3D\">Barnes over 13.5 points (-122)<\/a>:<\/strong> Nearly a decade removed from his time with the Golden State Warriors, Barnes probably doesn&#8217;t qualify for the revenge game narrative when he links up with his old club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he has put up some solid numbers in recent head-to-head matchups, and he&#8217;s also on fire in general right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Barnes is averaging 18.3 PPG against the Warriors since November 2023.
