Let's take a moment to talk about P.J. Washington's upcoming matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Looking back at Washington's last five appearances, he typically nabs an average of just one steal per game on the road. Even when facing the Nets, his steal average drops to a mere 0.8. Now, don't get me wrong, Washington is a solid player, but his game is not heavily based on intercepting passes. His overall hit rate hovers around 7 out of 9 games, with a slightly higher success rate when playing away. However, the key takeaway here is the implied probability of 73% for him to stay under 1.5 steals in this game. That's a strong indication from the betting markets. So, betting on Washington for under 1.5 steals seems like a strategically sound play given his track record and the expectations from the market.
