There are six games in the NBA tonight, and using the DvP and play type ranking filters, we’re going to dive into three 3PTM trends for tonight’s slate. There are also NHL cheat sheets further down, from @WallaBets. Before we get into the data, there are a couple of new tutorials we want to let you know about.

For our NHL community, we released a tutorial yesterday highlighting the new desktop tool. Check it out, here:

And for our NBA and NHL users (and MLB users soon), there’s a new feature on our desktop tool: Market Movers. Check out our tutorial for the new side panel, here:

Now, let's get into the 3PTM props.

Nesmith and the Pacers play the Clippers tonight, and LA ranks 27th in 3-pointers allowed to opposing shooting guards. When Nesmith plays bottom-five shooting guard defenses, he has outstanding numbers.

In those 7 games, he’s averaging 2.6 made threes with a 100% hit rate. Be wary, though: he hasn’t played since February 19th and is questionable tonight, the first positive sign in his injury status since his ankle sprain on the 19th.

Between work, family, and everything else, most people aren’t looking for another complicated wellness routine. They just want something that works.

The Utah Jazz rank 28th in 3-pointers allowed to opposing point guards, and when Maxey plays poor 3-point defenses, he has strong data.

In his 9 games against bottom 5 defenses, he’s averaging 4.1 threes made, with a 67% hit rate. His top play type looks good, too:

Maxey scores 21.6% of his points in transition, and the Jazz rank dead last in transition defense. He’s averaging 3.8 made threes in games against bottom 5 transition defenses, with an 88% hit rate.

Alexander-Walker and the Hawks are playing the Milwaukee Bucks, who rank dead last in 3-pointers allowed to opposing shooting guards. Before we get into how Alexander-Walker performs against poor defenses, we’d like to establish his baseline for 3-point attempts first. This season, in all situations, he’s averaging 8.1 attempts from 3.

And against the bottom 10 shooting guard defenses, he’s averaging 8.7 attempts. But the thing to note is that he has 8 games against bottom 10 defenses with 9 or more attempts, and 6 games with 7 or fewer attempts. In the games with 7 or fewer, he’s averaging 1.3 makes with a 14% hit rate. In the games with 9 or more attempts, he’s averaging 4.5 made threes with an 88% hit rate.

Volume is the key here: in his L10 with 7 or more attempts from three, he’s averaging 2.8 3PTM with a 70% hit rate.
