Hornets vs. Magic
Miles Bridges Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-102)
Miles Bridges was a primary catalyst in Charlotte's opening Play-In victory over the Miami Heat, where he logged 43 minutes and went 5-of-10 from beyond the arc — and this wasn't just a one-off performance.
Over his last seven games, Bridges has cleared this 1.5-mark in four contests, notably hitting 3+ threes in four of those games and exploding for 4+ makes in three of them.
His recent game log includes a perfect 4-of-4 night against Minnesota and a 4-of-8 showing against Phoenix, proving he can hit this over regardless of defensive pressure.
Our PRO Projection of 2.02 makes gives us a significant edge against the market price of -102. In a do-or-die environment where LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller attract the bulk of the defensive attention, expect Bridges to continue finding high-quality looks from the corners and wings.
Pick: Miles Bridges Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-102)
Warriors vs. Suns
Steph Curry Over 4.5 Three-Pointers Made (+105)
After missing 27 games late in the season due to persistent right knee pain and swelling, Steph Curry has looked increasingly dangerous since returning to the lineup.
While Steve Kerr initially kept him on a short leash, Curry’s minutes jumped to 36 in the opening Play-In win over the Los Angeles Clippers—a clear sign that the training wheels are off for elimination basketball.
Curry absolutely torched the Clippers in that contest, knocking down 7-of-12 attempts from deep on his way to a vintage 35-point performance.
Despite his extended absence, he hasn't lost a step in terms of volume; in his five games since returning, he has attempted double-digit threes three times and is shooting over 45% from beyond the arc in that span.
Our PRO Projection of 5.32 makes indicates a nice edge on this +105 line. Phoenix's defense struggled against perimeter volume in their Play-In loss to Portland, and with Dillon Brooks likely focused on Curry's knee and driving lanes, Steph is poised to rely on his signature relocation 3s.
Pick: Steph Curry Over 4.5 Three-Pointers Made (+105)
Hornets vs. Magic
Desmond Bane Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-175)
While Desmond Bane ended the regular season on a quiet note—failing to clear this 1.5-mark in his final three games—his performance in Orlando's postseason opener suggests he has flipped the switch.
In the Magic's first Play-In game against the 76ers, Bane was an absolute flamethrower, knocking down 4-of-6 attempts from beyond the arc — and prior to that three-game regular-season cold spell, he had cleared the 2+ threes threshold in seven consecutive games.
Bane has been the primary perimeter engine for an Orlando offense that desperately needs floor spacing to allow Paolo Banchero room to operate. Our PRO Projection of 2.29 makes provides a healthy cushion over the 1.5 line.
While the current price tag requires a bit of juice to be paid, the volume should be there in a win-or-go-home scenario against a Hornets defense that has struggled to contain elite movement shooters. Expect Bane to be aggressive early and often as Orlando fights to keep their season alive.
Pick: Desmond Bane Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-175)
Warriors vs. Suns
Jalen Green Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (+142)
Jalen Green’s usage rate skyrocketed last game; after seeing his minutes fluctuate late in the regular season—playing fewer than 30 minutes in five of his final eight appearances due to a nagging injury—the Suns took the leash off in their opening Play-In game against Portland.
Green logged 35 minutes and was a key focal point of the Suns' offense last game, hoisting a team-high 29 field goal attempts. While he struggled from deep in that game (2-of-7), the +142 price tag on this Over 2.5 line is an overreaction to a single-game shooting slump.
Green’s willingness to pull the trigger is exactly what Phoenix needs against a Warriors squad that leads the NBA in three-point attempts per game (44.1 3PA).
To keep pace with Golden State's high-octane offense, the Suns will likely lean into a high-possession game script that favors Green’s perimeter hunting. Action PRO is projecting Green to make 3.27 three-pointers in tonight's contest.
Pick: Jalen Green Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (+142)
