&#8211; Over\/Under 25.3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under.\u00a0 Dirk has averaged less than 25.3 for 3 of the last 4 seasons.\u00a0 The lone exception was in 08-09 when he attempted 20 shots a game, over three more shots a game than his career average.\u00a0 With Dallas&#8217; team being nearly identical to years&#8217; past, there is no reason to expect Dirk to have\u00a0 a vintage Dirk year.\u00a0 He&#8217;s only averaged more than 25.3 in 3 of his 11 career seasons, so this is an easy &#8216;under.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many rebounds will Dirk average? &#8211; Over\/Under 8.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under.\u00a0 Dirk&#8217;s rebounds per game have went down each of the last five seasons, as players tend to do as they age.\u00a0 He was only at 7.7 last season, a .7 drop off of the year before, when he had 8.4 &#8212; still under the 8.5 average here.\u00a0 Unless Dirk finds the fountain of youth, he will fail to get 8.5 rebounds or more, especially with Haywood and Tyson Chandler playing fresh legged all the time (they will likely split minutes at center), enabling them to snatch rebounds at a higher per minute rate than usual.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many points will Jason Terry average during the 2010-11 NBA season? &#8211; Over\/Under 17.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under.\u00a0 With Rodrique Beaubois expected to see more time this year, there is no reason to expect Terry to outperform last year, when he saw 33 minutes a game.\u00a0 If his minutes go down to the 28-30 range, expect Terry to average about 15.5 ppg.\u00a0 Beaubois is the main factor in Terry&#8217;s ppg, as if Beaubois shines, Kidd and Terry will both see less minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many points will Caron Butler average during the 2010-11 NBA season &#8211; Over\/Under 15.7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under.\u00a0 With Dallas last season, Butler&#8217;s average dipped from 16.9 ppg with to 15.2 ppg with Dallas.\u00a0 His minutes also went down from 39 to 34 on Dallas, and with Marion waiting in the wings, Butler will not see the typical 39 minutes a game he did on Washington.\u00a0 With about 32-34 minutes a game, Butler would have to shoot career high percentages to break 15.7 ppg<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many points will Jason Kidd average during the 2010-11 NBA season? &#8211; Over\/Under 9.7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This one is tougher to call.\u00a0 While 9.7 is LESS than what he averaged last season, he is now going to be yielding more minutes to Beaubois, as mentioned in the Terry prop bet.\u00a0 The thing is, Kidd can easily score 6-7 ppg just on open threes.\u00a0 I recommend steering clear of this bet.\u00a0 There&#8217;s too many variables involved and it&#8217;s a crapshoot given the 9.7 average.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many assists will Jason Kidd average during the 2010-11 NBA season? &#8211; Over\/Under 10.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under!\u00a0 He hasn&#8217;t averaged 10 apg in over 3 seasons now.\u00a0 His last 10+ year was 07-08, and he has only got older since then.\u00a0 Moreover, with the reduction in minutes, there is no reason to expect more than 10 assists a game from Kidd.\u00a0 This is a sure-fire &#8216;under&#8217; bet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who will average more rebounds per game during the 2010-11 NBA season &#8211; Haywood or Chandler?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This bet is another crapshoot, like the Kidd ppg bet.\u00a0 Again, I advise staying clear of this bet, as in a time share situation and with nearly identical career rebounding stats, it is simply too hard to call.<\/p>\n<p>The NBA season package is currently on early bird special price for only $500.\u00a0 Going to be another great season and signing up from day 1 for our NBA sports picks is a smart investment for anyone betting on the NBA this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the 2010-11 season right on the doorstep, it&#8217;s time for player prop bets.\u00a0 There&#8217;s always more than just past seasons&#8217; averages.\u00a0 One of the variables here with the Mavs you will see is a guy who doesn&#8217;t even have any player prop bets up on bodog, Rodrique Beaubois.\u00a0 Without further ado, here are the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40250,"featured_media":9430,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1444,133],"tags":[2070,3564,19,20,3349,3563,699],"class_list":["post-9500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","category-nba-handicapping","tag-brendan-haywood","tag-caron-butler","tag-dallas-mavericks","tag-dirk-nowitzki","tag-jason-kidd","tag-jason-terry","tag-tyson-chandler"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9500"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9595,"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9500\/revisions\/9595"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.madduxsports.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
