In six such games, Horford has notched at least three three-pointers in four contests. Add in the Bucks welcome these shots from Horford and Dellera believes this prop carries value.
Brook Lopez ‘over’ 17.5 points + rebounds + assists -125 (FanDuel
As for his second pick, Dellera is backing Bucks center Brook Lopez over 17.5 points + rebounds + assists -125 (FanDuel).
Although Lopez has recorded an assist in eight of his last 22 games, he’s done well to clear this mark just on points and rebounds.
“[Lopez] has gone over this in two straight just on points and rebounds,” Dellera says.
Given the value, Lopez provides for the Bucks — length on the defensive end and an ability to stretch the floor offensively — Dellera believes the minutes will be there to clear this number for a third straight game
