Wizards vs. Jazz Player Props & Same Game Parlay
Bradley Beal Over 23.5 Points
Beal poured in 29 and 27 points in two starts since returning from a six-game absence. He averaged 27.6 points in five games prior to hitting the shelf, so he’s had the hot hand for some time.
Beal missed his five three-point attempts across the last two games, but that’s okay. He’ll make up the scoring from the charity stripe, where he’s converted 22 of 27 over the same span.
Kyle Kuzma Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made
Kuzma serves as the Wizards’ primary three-point threat, and he isn’t shy about shooting from distance. He’s attempting nine treys per game at a 44.4% clip over his last six.
While the Jazz do feature a reasonably good three-point defense, we’re still siding with Kuzma’s knack for three-point volume and recent efficiency. He only failed to notch three three-pointers one time over the last six. That was against the Clippers, who limit opponents to an even worse percentage from beyond the arc.
Lauri Markkanen Three-Plus Three-Pointers + Over 21.5 Points (+100, DraftKings)
We’re focusing our same game parlay on Markkanen, who is shooting at a lethal clip from range – 56.8% on 8.2 attempts over his last nine contests. Washington is allowing opponents to convert at a 37.5% clip, good for 28th in the league.
Reaching 22 points doesn’t appear too tall of an order for Markkanen, who is averaging 25.6 points over the aforementioned nine-game stretch. The top NBA betting sites feature parlay builders, so take some time to find the best odds for your tastes.
