NBA Player Props for Today

Utah Jazz at Minnesota Timberwolves

Jaden McDaniels 2+ Made Threes (+120)

The Minnesota Timberwolves are expected to be sans Anthony Edwards tonight, which opens up a lot of usage. That coupled with a delightful matchup against the Utah Jazz has me backing Jaden McDaniels to sink multiple threes.

McDaniels has turned himself into a really good shooter, and he's making a career-best 41.7% of his threes this season.

The bouncy wing usually doesn't take many triples -- averaging 3.3 three-point attempts per game -- but Edwards' absence and this matchup should boost his volume. For the season, Utah is allowing the NBA's highest three-point attempt rate (45.8%), and they're permitting the third-most made treys per night to small forwards (3.4) over the last 15 games.

McDaniels has played the Jazz three times this season and is 6 for 12 from deep across the matchups, hitting at least two threes in a pair of those games.

Atlanta Hawks at Dallas Mavericks

Cooper Flagg to Record a Triple-Double (+2200)

Rookie star Cooper Flagg probably won't have a triple-double today against the Atlanta Hawks. But I think he's got a better shot than these odds indicate.

Flagg has yet to record a triple-double in his career. He's been close, though, producing games of 33-9-9 and 26-10-8 this season. Heck, just last time out he put up 21 points, seven boards and eight assists. The game before that, he notched 27 points, six rebounds and 10 dimes.

He's flirted with it more than a few times.

The Hawks are a nice matchup. Atlanta is second in pace this season, and when you pair that with Dallas sitting fifth in pace, we could get a shootout. The over/under is 237.5.

The Mavs have nothing to play for at this point in the season. They last played Monday and don't play again until Saturday. I say that to say -- if Flagg is close to a triple-double, they may do everything they can to help him get it, even if the score ends up being lopsided.

All in all, I think Flagg's triple-double odds are a bit too long today.
