Kristaps Porzingis Over 0.5 Steals

From a steal perspective, Porzingis had a terrible February. He averaged just 0.3 per game, and he failed to record a steal in seven of his nine games. However, for the season, he is averaging 0.9 steals per game, which means that he is all but bound to break out of this funk.

This may seem like a counterintuitive play since the Raptors are the best team in the league when it comes to turnovers per game. Yet, they steal do turn it over 11.8 times per game, which means Porzingis will have opportunities to pick up at least one steal. It’s not always about finding the right time for a trend to end, but when someone was as off their season average as Porzingis was in February, it’s safe to assume he will eventually get right.

What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands. Examples of basketball player prop bets include over/under bets on points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, blocks, or steals.
