Raptors vs Nuggets NBA Preview
Aaron Gordon's points prop appears to be too low in the Nuggets' matchup against the Raptors tonight.
Gordon's minutes were artificially deflated the last time he played because of a blowout on Tuesday against the 76ers.
However, when the Nuggets were in a tight game against the Lakers last Saturday, they let him play 30 minutes in regulation (35 overall).
Raptors vs Nuggets Predictions, Betting Analysis
Action PRO projects Gordon for 17.14 points tonight, giving us a solid 12.9% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 15.5, which is good enough to mark the Over with a B+ grade in our system.
This should be a close game against the Raptors, and as a result, Gordon should get enough minutes to push his projection over this line.
Pick: Aaron Gordon Over 15.5 Points (-121, DraftKings)
