Prediction in golden state!

Yaxel Lendeborg over 18.5 points is an attractive player prop against Phoenix. The Warriors rookie has quickly become an important part of the team’s offense, averaging 22.3 points per game through his first seven appearances.

His recent scoring form is particularly encouraging. Lendeborg has recorded 26, 31, 26 and 37 points in four of his last five games. His latest performance was outstanding, as he exploded for 37 points against the Clippers, knocking down six three-pointers.

The circumstances also look favourable for another high-scoring performance. Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green are listed out for Golden State, potentially leaving Lendeborg with an even larger offensive responsibility. He is projected to play around 32 minutes and has already shown that he can deliver against Phoenix, scoring 26 points in their previous meeting.

There is some risk because Golden State is playing on consecutive nights, and Lendeborg did have a quieter six-point performance against the Lakers recently. However, his overall scoring average and recent production make the over worth considering.
