DP’S NBA PLAYER PROP
SEASON RECORD: 35-21
Expert NBA Player Props Analyst, Daniel Parisi, gives his best daily prop, exclusive to subscribers.
WASHINGTON @ ATLANTA
These two bottom half Eastern conference teams have shown that defense is not a priority leaking 119.9 ppg and 117.5 ppg.
With a total points line of 240.5 for this game the bookies expect this to continue.
For the Wizards, Bradley Beal looks to be a one man show with little support around him. Beal is coming off two dominant scoring performances with 38pts against Miami and 36pts against Cleveland. If Washington are to win, expect them to rely on his hot scoring to get them through.
DP’S PICK – BRADLEY BEAL OVER 29.5 POINTS – WIN
