Thunder vs Nets NBA Wednesday Preview
Action PRO projects Chet Holmgren for 1.42 blocks in this Thunder's matchup against the Nets tonight, giving us a solid 13.9% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 1.5, which is good enough to mark the Over with a B+ grade in our system.
In his only meeting against Brooklyn this season back on February 20, Holmgren recorded a grand total of zero blocks.
He is averaging 1.9 blocks per game this season, but that average is only 1.3 over the last 10 games.
Thunder vs Nets Picks, Betting Predictions
Holmgren is playing fewer minutes for the Thunder lately, and that trend should continue in this fairly easy matchup against the Nets tonight.
He has played under 30 minutes in three of his last six games.
Holmgren enters tonight having stayed under this line (1.5) in four straight contests, while recording a combined a total of only two blocks in those four games.
So, let's fade him in the blocks category tonight against the Nets at plus-money.
