Klay Thompson is a veteran shooting guard currently playing for the Dallas Mavericks, wearing number 11. The 6'6", 220-pound guard was born on February 8, 1990, and played college basketball at Washington State before embarking on a long NBA career. Thompson is widely recognized as one of the premier shooters of his generation, though his current season reflects a transitional role rather than his peak production years.
Through 71 games this season, Thompson is averaging 11.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game across 21.5 minutes of action, operating in a reduced role off the bench or as a secondary option. His three-point percentage sits at 37.5% on the season, a workable clip for a volume shooter, while his field goal percentage of 38.2% and a notably low free throw percentage of 27.1% suggest shot selection and efficiency are areas of concern. A plus/minus of -2.1 indicates his lineups have trended slightly negative overall. For bettors, Thompson's most relevant prop angles center on his points total, given the moderate but consistent scoring output in limited minutes, and three-pointers made, where his historical shooting pedigree and current 37.5% rate make him a recurring target for made threes props. His relatively stable minutes and defined offensive role provide enough predictability to evaluate game-by-game scoring and threes lines.
