The process is extremely quick and highly effective. Try out the tool for yourself tonight with the three featured Morant props below.

Under 27.5 Points (+105, DraftKings)

Our first Morant NBA prop bets option for Wednesday’s game actually features a pick that Awesemo differs from the market on in terms of opinion. OddsShopper currently shows Morant’s scoring prop of 27.5 juiced to the over across all sportsbooks. At some shops, the liability is enough that plus-money odds have emerged on the under. While Morant has been on fire offensively of late, the Knicks do rank among the top-10 teams in defensive efficiency coming into tonight’s matchup. Furthermore, New York plays at one of the slowest tempos in the league, which will work to limit the number of possessions Memphis sees.

Taking all of this into consideration, it will presumably be difficult for Morant to exceed 30 points for the eighth game in a row tonight. While the NBA player props market consensus is driving the vig to the over, Awesemo’s exact projection of 25.67 points sits nearly 2.5 below the 28 Morant would need to clear the betting line. Using OddsShopper, bettors can easily compare prices across the market to obtain the most bang for their buck on this contrarian play. At +105 odds, this under wager is deemed to have an expected ROI value of 20%.

Over 6.5 Assists (-139, SugarHouse)

On the season to date, Morant has dished out an average of 6.8 assists per contest. While his passing numbers have been a bit more sporadic than his scoring of late, that average still sits slightly north of tonight’s NBA betting line of 6.5. Assuming the Knicks implement a defensive game plan designed to limit Morant’s own scoring capabilities, this would theoretically lead to a greater emphasis on playmaking and distributing in tonight’s game.

Once again, OddsShopper shows that the market is leaning heavily towards the over on this NBA prop bet tonight. In fact, the best odds of -139 are as much as 16 cents cheaper than other prices in the market. Awesemo officially projects Morant to finish with 7.29 helpers tonight. While the statistical edge is not enough to prevent the inflated odds from sapping the overall value, this prop is still given a 59% win probability along with a small positive ROI.

Under 1.5 3-Pointers (-109, SugarHouse)

Although Morant managed to pour in 37 points on Monday despite shooting 0-5 from beyond the 3-point line, an uptick in his shooting percentages from deep has been a key part of the recent scoring tear. His attempts from long range have increased as well. Morant has taken at least five 3-point shots in six of the last seven games. He knocked down multiple triples in five of those six and shot 40% or better from beyond the arc in three of them. Meanwhile, the Knicks have been in the top half of the league in defending the arc this season. Opponents have shot less than 35% from 3-point range against New York to date.

At -109 odds, Awesemo deems the under on the NBA player props line of 1.5 made triples to be a positive ROI play tonight. OddsShopper shows that this price is up to 13 cents cheaper than what bettors would have to lay at other sportsbooks.
