Logan Thompson (Washington Capitals) Over 24.5 Saves (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Logan Thompson for Over 24.5 in the 'Player Total Saves' market is driven by his recent performance data and model predictions. Thompson's average of saves in his last five home games is 24.6, which is slightly above the line set by the bookmaker. Moreover, his overall average saves in the last five games is 26.4, indicating a consistent tendency to exceed the set line. The model's prediction for Thompson is 26.33 saves, reinforcing the expectation that he will surpass the 24.5 line. Although his current hit streaks are at zero, he has a hit rate of 60% over the last 15 games, suggesting that he often outperforms the predictions. The average number of shots against him in the last five home and overall games is also above the line, providing him ample opportunities to make saves. Thus, the statistical data and model predictions suggest a reasonable likelihood of Thompson exceeding 24.5 saves.
