Klay Thompson Points Prop is currently Over/Under 17.5 (-125/-105) at bet365.
Pros
- Klay Thompson has successfully made 7.6 baskets per game over the last 5 games, 1.4 higher than he’s sunk overall this season.
- Out of all players in the league, Klay Thompson registers in the 79th percentile for playing time, registering a whopping 29.6 minutes per game this year.
- The matchup against the Charlotte Hornets is a strong one for three-point shots; the opposing team’s starting SGs have totaled the 3rd-most threes per game in the NBA this year (2.5).
- The 6th-most up-tempo pace offense in the NBA over the last 25 games has been the Warriors.
- Offensive rebounds preserve possession and lead to further chances for scoring and assists, and the Warriors rank 2nd-best in in the NBA with 12.3 offensive rebounds per game over the last 10 games.
Cons
- In comparison to last season’s 4.3 mark, Klay Thompson’s three-point shots converted have regressed this season to 3.4 per game.
- The Hornets have played at the 5th-least up-tempo tempo in the league over the last 5 games, which should lead to fewer possessions for the Warriors.
- As a team, the Golden State Warriors have been lousy at getting to the free-throw line of late: worst in the league over the last 25 games, averaging a measly 16.8 foul shot attempts per game.
- Klay Thompson will not have the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city usually decreases player performance in all stat categories.
