Chet Holmgren Threes Prediction: Under 1.5 vs Wizards | March 21 NBA Pick
Chet Holmgren's threes prop is a sharp Under play on Saturday night. The Oklahoma City Thunder face the Washington Wizards on March 21, and our model projects the elite defender to fall short of his 1.5-three line. Here's why we're backing the Under at -225 odds.
Chet Holmgren Stats & Recent Form
Holmgren has been a revelation as a rim-running, rim-protecting force for OKC, but his three-point volume remains modest. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 0.8 threes per contest on moderate attempts, with only two games where he's eclipsed the 1.5 mark. The 7-footer is more valuable as a vertical spacer and defensive anchor than a consistent perimeter threat. His season three-point rate sits around 28%, well below league average, and he rarely gets to 40+ minutes, limiting his volume opportunities.
Matchup Analysis: Oklahoma City vs Washington
Washington's defense doesn't specifically punish floor-spacing bigs—the Wizards rank middle-of-pack in three-point defense efficiency. However, OKC's offensive scheme typically doesn't rely on Holmgren launching threes from distance. The Thunder prefer to use him as a drop-coverage defender and lob target, not a perimeter scorer. With a projected game pace favoring deliberate half-court basketball, Holmgren's limited three-point attempts are unlikely to spike.
Our Holmgren Threes Prop Pick for March 21
We're backing the Under 1.5 threes at -225 odds. Holmgren simply doesn't have the green light or the shot diet to consistently hit this line. His recent form shows he clears 1.5 threes in fewer than 40% of his games, making this a profitable contrarian pick in Kalshi prediction markets and traditional sportsbooks alike. The Chet Holmgren threes odds are clean value on the Under, and bettors chasing DFS ceiling games should look elsewhere for volume.
