Quick Summary

Keon Ellis, a 26-year-old guard for the Brooklyn Nets, is expected to have a significant role in the team's offense this season following his performance in preseason games. Despite struggling in the last exhibition game, Ellis attempted four shots from beyond the arc, indicating he will continue to receive shooting opportunities. His career demonstrates proficiency in perimeter shooting at over 40% accuracy and with potential increased playing time in the upcoming season opener against Charlotte Hornets, odds suggest a strong chance of making two or more three-pointers (+105 at FanDuel Sportsbook).

Story summary

Keon Ellis, a 26-year-old guard for the Brooklyn Nets, is expected to play a significant role in the team's offense during the upcoming season. After starting all four of Brooklyn’s preseason games and showing promise despite occasional struggles, analysts predict that Ellis will contribute more as his playing time increases to around 30 minutes per game this season.

Ellis, known for his defensive prowess on the wing, has also demonstrated reliability from beyond the arc with a career shooting percentage of over 40%. Last year, he averaged 1.3 three-point attempts while primarily coming off the bench for the Sacramento Kings and Cleveland Cavaliers. However, given his increased role in Brooklyn, there is an expectation that Ellis will make at least two three-pointers in Wednesday's season opener against the Charlotte Hornets at Barclays Center.

Considering his track record and apparent offensive responsibilities with the Nets, betting on the over 1.5 made three-pointers for Keon Ellis seems like a strong play to kick off the 2026-27 NBA season.
