One of the most consistent areas of attack in props this season: centers against the Washington Wizards. 67% of opposing centers have gone over their PRA line against Washington in their last 10 games, and they rank 29th in PRA defense versus big men this season.

Okongwu is averaging 26.3 PRA this season, clearing this line in 65% of his games. On the road, his data is even better, averaging 27.4 PRA with a 70% hit rate. And lastly, he’s been on fire in his last five: 100% hit rate, averaging 32.6 PRA.
