Heat vs. Hornets
Kon Knueppel Over 3.5 3-pointers (+116)
There are plenty of strong 3-point shooting props worth considering for players on the league's most productive team from long range.
The Charlotte Hornets connected on an NBA-high 16.4 triples per game during the regular season, and only the Golden State Warriors topped their mark of 43.3 attempts from deep per contest. Kon Knueppel and LaMelo Ball ranked first and second in made 3-pointers, respectively. However, we'll focus on the league leader for our first prop.
Knueppel has shot the cover off the ball all season. While he's cooled off some down the home stretch, there's a good chance he'll ramp things back up in a must-win game against a team he's had a ton of success against.
Knueppel is averaging 24.5 points per game against the Miami Heat and regularly lets it fly from distance against Charlotte's divisional rival. It's hard to justify betting against him performing at a high level when he's shooting 45.0% from beyond the arc against the Heat on 10.0 attempts per night.
The former Duke Blue Devil seems sure to be a key part of the Hornets' offensive game on Tuesday. Count on the prolific sniper to show up in a big way here.
Pick: Kon Knueppel Over 3.5 3-pointers (+116)
Trail Blazers vs. Suns
Toumani Camara Under 2.5 3-pointers (-119)
The Portland Trail Blazers are another team that hasn't shied away from shooting the long ball in 2025-26. They rank third in 3-point attempts per game (42.2), but are toward the bottom of the league when it comes to efficiency. That will likely come back to bite them against an elite defensive team.
Portland is 28th in team 3-point percentage (34.3%), and doesn't appear to have the kind of true sniper that many high-volume 3-point shooting teams deploy. No Trail Blazer is making more than three triples per game this season. That's less than ideal when facing the Phoenix Suns.
Phoenix is holding opponents to 34.7% shooting from deep, and only the Detroit Pistons have been better this season. It's also allowing the second-fewest 3-point makers (12.2) per game. Portland's sixth-leading scorer (on a points per game basis) isn't likely to light it up given those numbers.
Camara leads the team with 2.7 made 3-pointers per game and is converting those shots at a 37.0% clip as an emerging 3-and-D wing. However, Jerami Grant has been upgraded from out to questionable for Tuesday after missing the Trail Blazers' final seven regular-season games. He's sure to cut into Camara's volume if he suits up, making Camara's over even more daunting.
Phoenix thrives on the perimeter defensively and has held Camara to 10.3 points per game on 29.2% shooting from beyond the arc through three meetings this season. Portland seems more likely to lean into Grant and Shaedon Sharpe following their returns from injury in such an important game.
Pick: Toumani Camara Under 2.5 3-pointers (-119)
