Player Prop: Duncan Robinson O/U 3.5 3-Pointers
There is no doubt that Robinson is experiencing a resurgence this year. After a couple of down seasons where his 3-point percentage dipped drastically — and his poor defense made him unplayable — Robinson is back up above 40% at volume from deep.
But even during his best shooting years, Robinson was only making slightly more than 3.6 3’s per game, which is where his line is tonight.
The things that could push bettors to take his over against Detroit are, well, Detroit — one of the worst teams and defense in basketball — and the injuries to Tyler Herro and Kevin Love. Those two have combined for 4.6 3’s per game (combined is doing some heavy lifting there, as Herro makes 3.3 a game by himself).
However, Herro also hasn’t played since Feb. 23, and though Robinson has seen somewhat of an uptick in that time, he is making 3.0 a game. He is 5-for-10 on this over in this Herro-less stretch. The point is, Robinson is not suddenly sniping four-plus 3’s night in and night out without Herro and Love.
OddsShopper is seeing the most value from FanDuel, as it has Robinson under 3.5 3’s at -132 compared to the -147 from sharp book Pinnacle.
