Action PRO projects Nets' center Nic Claxton for 13.49 points tonight, an excellent 21.9% edge against the market when compared to his current points prop line of over/under 10.5, which is good enough for an A-grade in our database.
Claxton has surpassed this number in his past five contests, with totals of 14, 11, 28, 15, and 16 points in those games.
Claxton is averaging 12.6 points on the season, but is averaging 14.9 points per game in his last 10 games.

Although Claxton will go against Victor Wembanyama tonight, this 10.5 line is within his reach, especially if the Spurs take a big lead and decide to rest their star player.
Back Claxton to make it six games straight over this line.
