Best NBA prop bets today for Kings vs. Warriors Game 3 (Value on first half total)

The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings have not disappointed in the first round of the playoffs, playing two great games in Sacramento.

Golden State is looking to get its first win of the series in Game 3, but it won’t have Draymond Green (suspension) in the contest. Does that alter the prop market or create some value on any players?

Here are three prop bets to consider for Game 3 of this series:

Kevin Huerter OVER 14.5 Points

There is some positive shooting regression coming for Kevin Huerter, who scored 15 points in Game 2 despite shooting just 2-for-9 from beyond the arc.

Huerter averaged 15.2 points per game this season while shooting 40.2 percent from 3, so he’s more than capable of clearing this prop.

With Malik Monk playing so well, Huerter’s struggles haven’t hurt the Kings, but it’s only a matter of time before he gets back on track.

Kevon Looney UNDER 18.5 Points and Rebounds

Kevon Looney is going to get all the minutes he can handle without Draymond Green, but I think this number is too high given the fact that he will be matched up on Domantas Sabonis.

Sabonis leads the league in rebounding, and Looney has been limited to seven and nine rebounds in the first two games of this series.

For a player that averages just seven points per game, asking Looney to grab upwards of 12 boards is a tough task. The other issue could be foul trouble, as Looney was in and out of Game 2 because of it.

I’ll fade him on Thursday.

First Half UNDER 121.5

This is my favorite prop bet in this game, especially after how the first two games went.

Golden State’s defense is 28th in the NBA on the road, but it jumps all the way to No. 3 at home. Even with Green suspended, I think this number is way too high considering Game 1 and Game 2 finished with 116 and 110 first half points.

The Kings are the best UNDER team in the NBA as road dogs (15-5), so I wouldn’t be shocked if this first half gets off to a slow start, similar to the first two games of this series.
