Gave out on Buckets. Just too low. 14.5 fine too This prop is too low for Jaden Ivey who is getting a greater opportunity as the Pistons season is winding to a close. Ivey has averaged 15.1 points per game this season, but his minutes and role have regulated a bit more of late. When Ivey has played 20+ minutes, he has exceeded 14.5 points in 19/30 games while averaging 18.1 points per game. We are getting a buy low opportunity here after he scored just 8 against Orlando and now he has a tough matchup against a strong Knicks’ defense. Except this is not the same Knicks’ defense that we have seen beat teams down all season. With all of their injuries, the Knicks have the fourth-worst Defensive Rating over the last two weeks and are allowing 125.4 points per 100 possessions. With a less than 100% Hartenstein they have been extremely susceptible to drives and cuts to the rim, which is an area where Ivey can excel while also making some 3s, a shot the Knicks allow with regularity. This is a strong spot for Ivey, and I grabbed this at 13.5 points last night in the Action App and am fine with 14.5 as well.
