Player Prop #2: Miles Bridges / Over 22.5 Points + Rebounds / -112 / 70% / Consistent double-double threat, Nets frontcourt injuries (Wolf out, Sharpe out) expose rebounding weakness
Player Prop #3: Nicolas Claxton / Over 8.5 Rebounds / -110 / 68% / Primary rebounder for depleted Nets roster, Charlotte pace pushes extra boards despite poor team scoring
