Check out the shooting guard&#8217;s numbers over the last 10 games: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>32.8 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>55.4 EFG%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7-3 vs. this line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards is averaging 23.3 field goal attempts during this stretch, and that volume puts him in line to clear this total on a nightly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg0JnA9MzEwMjU%3D\">Bet on tonight&#8217;s NBA slate now<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Los Angeles has been torn apart by the deep ball this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Clippers have the seventh-worst 3-point defence (36.8%) and allow the fourth-most 3s per game to opposing shooting guards, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards is one of the league&#8217;s best 3-point shooters, but I want no part of the over on his 2.5 three-point total at -175.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teasing him up to 4+ threes at +150 is definitely playable, but I think backing him on the point total is the safer move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, if he goes nuclear from deep, another 30-point night is well within the cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Edwards has scored 30+ points in four straight games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:123108\">Embed: #123108<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Toronto Raptors prop pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Barnes double-double (+123):<\/strong> Barnes is a Pacer-killer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Toronto&#8217;s all-star forward has averaged 24.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 8.0 assists in his last eight games against Indiana.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In that span, he has six double-doubles and barely missed in the two outliers (23\/8\/8, 35\/6\/9). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg0JnA9MzEwMjU%3D\">At NorthStar Bets: Wager on NBA props, futures &amp; more<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnes has scored double-digit points in 50 of 52 games this year, so the point aspect of this wager is almost a guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love his chances of piling up rebounds, given Toronto&#8217;s centre situation and Indiana&#8217;s struggles on the glass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jakob Poeltl remains sidelined, and Indiana allows the fourth-most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnes can also cash this bet as a facilitator.
