When the Suns face off against the Spurs, Kevin Durant's three-point game isn't expected to light up the scoreboard, making the under 2.5 threes a savvy bet.
In the fast-paced, high-octane world of the NBA, every game brings with it a slew of betting opportunities. The upcoming clash between the Phoenix Suns and the San Antonio Spurs is no exception. However, one betting line that's caught my eye is the under 2.5 on Kevin Durant's three-pointers made. The stats and trends are screaming that this is a bet definitely worth considering.
First, let's dive into KD's recent performance from beyond the arc. Durant, a player known for his lethal shooting ability, has been experiencing a bit of a dry spell when it comes to threes. This season, he's averaging 2.17 three-pointers made per game. While that number might not seem too shabby at first glance, a closer look reveals a more nuanced story. Durant has tallied more than 2.5 threes in only 20 games, while falling short of this mark in a whopping 44 games.
The recent trend doesn't seem to be in his favor either, especially when you consider his performance over the last 20 games, where he's averaged just 1.9 threes made and has stayed under 2.5 threes in 17 of those 20 games. Even more telling is his output over the last five games, with an average of merely 1.4 three-pointers made, and not once exceeding the 2.5 threshold during that 5 game stretch.
Now, let's put the spotlight on the matchup against the Spurs. In 3 games against San Antonio this season, Durant's three-point shooting has been less thenstellar, averaging just 1.67 threes made. This figure falls significantly below the betting line, reinforcing the notion that when KD goes up against the Spurs' defense, his three-point game tends to cool off.
Speaking of the Spurs' defense, it's crucial to note that they rank 11th in defending threes against power forwards. This stat is particularly relevant considering Durant's position and his role in the Suns' offense. San Antonio's ability to limit opportunities and challenge shots from beyond the arc will be a key factor in keeping Durant's three-point totals in check. Clearly, there's a trend here that can't be ignored by anyone looking to make an informed bet.
Betting the under 2.5 on Kevin Durant's three-pointers made when the Suns take on the Spurs isn't just a shot in the dark; it's a calculated move backed by a consistent pattern of performance and matchups. Durant is undoubtedly one of the game's greats, and his ability to explode offensively should never be underestimated. However the numbers and trends suggest that, in this particular matchup, banking on a three-point barrage from KD will be wishful thinking. Let’s lock this up and get this DUB!
