Prop #1: Kon Knueppel Over 20.5 points
Rookie Kon Knueppel has been sizzling of late, scoring at least 21 points in each of his last four games, with Charlotte winning three straight.
This run started with a monster 33-point outing in a loss to the Cavaliers. Knueppel followed that up with 28 against the Wizards, before ripping Indiana for 28 points on 10-for-17 shooting last game.
Portland isn’t exactly a defensive juggernaut, ranking 24th in scoring defense allowing 118.2 points per game.

Prop #2: Tyler Herro Over 20.5 points
Miami’s leading scorer Norman Powell is out for this one as he deals with a groin strain, but the Heat should be in good hands with Tyler Herro.
Just four games back from a rib injury, Herro seems to be picking up his pace. He shot 9-for-18 in a loss to Philadelphia en route to 25 points when last seen.
Houston is one of the tougher defensive teams in the league, allowing just 109.1 points per game (third overall), but Herro should be ready to carry a big-time scoring load in this one.

Prop #3: LeBron James Over 5.5 assists
We’ll wrap with the NBA’s ageless wonder, LeBron James, who has a 5.5-assist line on Saturday against the Warriors.
While that number might deter you, as he’s only topped that total once in his last six games, LeBron has been dealing against the Dubs.
LBJ has had 10 straight games against the Warriors with at least eight assists, and I like the plus odds he’s getting Saturday to just get to six.
