Today’s NBA Prop Bet Picks & Predictions, Saturday 3/2, highlight the return of Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal. The NBA action features a 5-game slate starting at 3:00 pm ET, and there are two NBA player prop bets, with one specifically related to the Houston Rockets vs. Phoenix Suns matchup later in the evening.
One prop bet centers around Keyonte George, a point guard for the Utah Jazz. The suggested bet is to go under 2.5 made 3-pointers at odds of -145. This recommendation is based on George’s shooting performance, particularly on the road, where he has a lower 3-point shooting percentage. Despite increased playing time recently, George has attempted fewer than 7 triples in six of his last 10 games.
The second prop bet involves Bradley Beal, the shooting guard for the Phoenix Suns. The suggestion is to go under 4.5 assists at odds of -122. Beal is expected to return after missing several games due to injuries. Despite uncertainty about any minutes restriction, the projection is below 30 minutes, taking into account the likelihood of a blowout as the Suns are significant favorites over the Rockets. Before the injury, Beal averaged 5 assists in February, but with the expected decrease in usage due to fewer minutes and a potential blowout, the under on assists presents a favorable +EV (expected value) spot.
