NBA Player Prop: Darius Acuff Jr. (SAC) Under 28.5 points + rebounds + assists (-111)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing.
Rookie Darius Acuff Jr. has put up historic numbers to start his NBA career. He has hoisted up 74 shots through his first three games, making him the first player in NBA history to attempt at least 20 shots in each of his first three games. Those came against the Clippers, Trail Blazers and Grizzlies. Tonight he faces a much more difficult matchup against the reigning Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs, with arguably the greatest defensive specimen the game has seen roaming the paint in Victor Wembanyama. I leaned backing the unders of Domantas Sabonis, but I'm siding with the Acuff side -- as I expect this matchup on the perimeter to eat him alive while also backing regression in terms of shots from the field.
