Pick 9: RJ Barrett Over 1.5 Threes (-160)

With a history of strong performances and Miami’s vulnerability to three-point shooting from small forwards, RJ Barrett looks poised to exceed 1.5 three-pointers made in this upcoming game.

In his last three games against Miami, he has averaged 3.7 three-pointers made. This season, he has had more than 1.5 three-pointers made in 27 games, with an average of 1.9 three-pointers made in his last 10 games and 2.4 in his last 5. Adding to Barrett’s potential success is the fact that Miami has allowed the most three-pointers to opposing small forwards this season. 

All signs point to a strong performance from Barrett in this upcoming game. His history of success against Miami and the team’s vulnerability to long-range shooting from small forwards make it likely that he goes above 1.5 three-pointers made.
