Look of the Day for Tuesday 4/16: Good night to fade Zion Williamson

The Baltimore Orioles cruised over their team total on Monday night to give us a Look of the Day winner to start the week. Let's keep the good times rolling with our favorite player prop for Tuesday night's NBA Play-In Tournament action. 

Look of the Day: Zion Williamson under 0.5 blocks (+164 DraftKings)

The New Orleans Pelicans will take on the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the play-in tournament, and we're targeting a Zion Williamson defensive prop for this matchup.

Williamson averaged only 0.7 blocks per game in the regular season, and he recorded zero blocks in exactly half of his 70 games played. This is also a tough matchup for blocks considering the Lakers attack the rim primarily with Anthony Davis and LeBron James, two long, athletic veterans who are adept at finishing over defenders.

In seven career matchups against Davis, Williamson has managed just two total blocks. The Pelicans forward has gone block-less in five of those seven games. 

Williamson's athleticism and ability to block jump shots is obviously a concern, but this price shouldn't be this high.
