Why Jordan Poole Is The Hottest Prop Bet In The NBA Right Now

In the midst of the Warriors moving into NBA Championship favoritsm with FanDuel Sportsbook, Jordan Poole has risen to become the third Splash Brother, and prop bettors are loving it.

Poole was playing G-League basketball as recently as last season and has now scored 30 and 29 points in his first two NBA playoff games.

As well as that, he's also hit the most ever threes through a player's first two playoff appearances, knocking down 10 already.

With the Warriors winning the first two games of the series, they now head to Denver where they'll be looking to go 3-0 up in the series,

Check out how Poole has performed in his last four games against the Nuggets, three of which have featured both Steph Curry and Klay Thompson on the floor:

• Game 2 Playoffs: 29 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists (5-10 3PT)
• Game 1 Playoffs: 30, 1, 3 (5-7 3PT)
• March 10, 2022: 21, 5, 7 (4-7 3PT)
• March 67, 2022: 32, 3, 7 (8-12 3PT)

Poole is one of a host of young players dominating the league right now, which means he's also one of the guys who grew up in the smartphone era, with plenty of old photos and videos surfacing of the young guard.

With his rise from the G-League already making him super likeable, these videos are endearing the young star to others even more, with this one here of him singing John Legend's 'All of Me' going viral of late.

Seriously, how could you not root for the guy? (Unless of course you're a Denver native!)

Coming off the back of two of the most impressive opening career playoff games in history, the 22-year-old is set for another big one tonight, with DimersBOT projecting Poole for 22 points, 4 boards and 5 dimes in Game 3.

Fellow Splash Brother, Steph Curry, has come off the bench in the last two games for the Warriors after returning from injury, but will likely be shifted back into the Starting 5 soon.

On Poole, Curry said "The beauty is that he has been able to balance all of it, the shooting, the driving, and then setting up guys with some crazy passes and getting everybody involved, that's another evolution of his game. It's not just the scoring, it's picking and choosing your spots and making the defenses pay if he gets a little extra attention."
