A Beautiful Triangle of (free) Player Props
Picks and Analysis on my Favorite Props for Nov. 16th
Little bit of a smaller slate of picks from me in terms of the player props, as one might expect considering there are only a pair of NBA games on the schedule this evening. That being said, when it came to sides and total on the ice I had several looks, so if you missed this morning’s newsletter release make sure to check that one out!
Puck Picks
Player YTD Record ——- 36-56 (+3.7 Units)
Josh Anderson Over 0.5 Goals +315 (1/2 Unit)
It has not been the type of start to the season I’m sure Josh Anderson was hoping for in Montreal, as the forward has yet to score a goal this season. That being said, it hasn’t been for lack of trying. No player in the NHL right now has created as many expected goals (5.2) as Anderson has through the early part of the season and remained goalless, which is illustrative of some poor puck-luck. At least it is to me, because it’s not like the guy can’t score goals. The winger had 20 tucks last season in 69 games, and with him skating on the Habs 1st-line and powerplay, it’s not as if he will stop getting chances. So while Vegas isn’t exactly a great match-up to light up the scoresheet, being able to snag a first-liner who also mans the powerplay at +315 whose numbers are deflated due to some poor puck luck is something I could pass up.
