Staying Hot in the NBA

For today’s newsletter, we used Props.Cash to find some of the hottest players in the NBA over the last 5 to 10 games, and then used additional data to showcase why they could maintain their hot streak tonight.

Toumani Camara: On a Hot Streak

  • Over his points line in 5 straight games

  • Averaging 14.4 PPG during that stretch

  • Betting line tonight: 9.5 points

Camara’s last 5 games

Camara has been exceeding his points line consistently, and tonight’s matchup against Dallas presents another promising opportunity. The Mavericks allow 23.41 points per game to power forwards, ranking 21st in the NBA. In their last 5 games, they've been even more generous, giving up 26.99 points per game to PFs.

Jaren Jackson Jr.: More Minutes, More Points

  • Betting line tonight: 21.5 points

  • Gone over this line in 4 straight games, averaging 28.4 PPG during that stretch

  • Minutes up to 33.5 per game over the last 5, compared to a season average of 29.0

Jackson Jr’s last 5 games

Jaren Jackson has averaged 29 minutes per game this season, but over his last 5 games, he’s seen that jump to 33.5 minutes per game. When logging 33 or more minutes this season, Jackson has gone over his points line 100% of the time, averaging 30.4 points per game. With Houston allowing 21.09 PPG to centers (11th in the league) and 22.23 PPG to power forwards (14th), tonight could be another high-scoring night for Jackson.

Additionally, Jackson averaged 26.75 points per game against Houston last season, going over his line in 3 out of 4 matchups. He’s also been great after two days of rest, averaging 25.3 PPG.

Scottie Barnes: Back to Back King

  • Betting line tonight: 18.5 points

  • Over this line in 3 of his last 5 games, averaging 21.6 PPG

  • Has gone over in all 4 back-to-backs this season, averaging 27 PPG

  • Over in 3 of his last 5 road games, averaging 21.6 PPG

Barnes last 5 games

Barnes has been consistently exceeding his points line, and his solid performances in back-to-backs are encouraging. The Cavs allow 21.6 PPG to small forwards (21st in the NBA).

Breaking Skids in the NHL

Zach Hyman, William Nylander, and Jack Hughes. Three big-name players in the NHL, three big-name players looking to break out of goalless droughts in the NHL. Can they snap out of those streaks tonight?

Zach Hyman: On a 6-Game Skid

  • No goals in his last 6 games

  • Faces the Pittsburgh Penguins, who allow the most goals per game in the league

Hyman’s 2024 season

Hyman’s been struggling lately, but facing the Penguins—a team that gives up plenty of goals—could be the perfect opportunity for him to end his dry spell. He’s only scored in 3 of 15 road games this season, but will tonight be the night he turns it around?

William Nylander: 8 Games Without a Goal

  • No goals in his last 8 games

  • Facing Carolina, who allow 2.81 goals per game (11th in the league)

Nylander’s 2024 season

Nylander has struggled to find the back of the net recently, scoring in just 7 of 18 games this season (a 39% hit rate). Carolina isn’t one of the league’s worst defensive teams, but they’re certainly not elite either. Will Nylander break his skid tonight?

Jack Hughes: Can He Bounce Back?

  • No goals in his last 7 games

  • Rangers allow 3.21 goals per game (24th in the league)

Jack Hughes 2024 season

Hughes has had a tough go lately, but history suggests he could be due for a breakout game. In his last two games against the Rangers, he scored 4 goals, and he’s found the net in 5 of his last 9 games at Madison Square Garden. Can a big rivalry help him find the back of the net?
