In that span, he attempted 8.5 threes a night and shot 38.1% from deep. Pretty darn good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Bet on  Anfernee Simons to light up the Knicks from deep<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boston relies on the deep ball more than any team in the NBA \u2014 attempting a league-high 47.2 threes per game last year \u2014 so it&#8217;s no surprise that GM Brad Stevens had Simons in his sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simons did come off the bench in his Celtics debut, but he was one of four Celtics to log 30-plus minutes. That tells me he&#8217;s going to get plenty of run on a nightly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York had an awful perimeter defence last year, so this seems like a good matchup for Simons to exploit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: The Knicks had the ninth-worst 3-point defence in the NBA last year (36.4%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:120031\">Embed: #120031<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Wembanyama over 12.5 rebounds <\/strong><\/strong>(-104)<\/strong>: Wembanyama spent the offseason training with Hakeem Olajuwon, and it looks like The Dream created a nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wemby exploded for 40 points and 15 rebounds in his 2025-26 debut, doing the vast majority of his damage from inside the 3-point line (14-for-19 from 2-point range). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His 28.5-point total intrigues me, but I want to tap into his rebounding abilities tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 7-foot-4, Wembanyama is a matchup headache for any team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Bet on Wemby to clear his rebound total at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The New Orleans Pelicans have Zion Williamson, of course, but he only stands at 6-foot-6. They also have some injury concerns at centre with Kevin Looney (knee) out and Yves Missi (ankle) questionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wembanyama has averaged 12.3 rebounds in four starts against NOLA, with at least 10 rebounds in each of those contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think he&#8217;s due for another monster night on the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Leonard over 21.5 points <\/strong><\/strong>(-113)<\/strong>: Leonard had a muted season debut, scoring 10 points on 3-for-9 shooting as the Los Angeles Clippers got blown out by the Utah Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He only played 29 minutes in that matchup, though, and I like his chances of being more active in a closer game against the Phoenix Suns tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leonard is a mid-range assassin. He ranked in the 95th percentile or greater in mid-range shot frequency in each of the previous six seasons, per Cleaning the Glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phoenix struggled to defend that area of the court last year (22nd in mid-range defence), and I don&#8217;t think picking up Dillon Brooks will make much of a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leonard scored 26 and 28 points in his last two games against Brooks when he was on the Rockets, anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 11:30 a.m. ET on 10\/24\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m targeting three big names from Friday&#8217;s jam-packed NBA slate to produce on the prop market.
