Look of the Day for Tuesday Dec. 12: Cavs to clamp down on Celts' White

We started the week off with a winner on Look of the Day thanks to Derrick Henry going under his rushing prop, and we're looking to keep the good times rolling. Let's switch gears to the hardwood and target our favorite NBA player prop for Tuesday's Look of the Day.

Look of the Day: Derrick White under 13.5 points (+102 FanDuel)

This number might seem low considering Derrick White is averaging a career-high 15.4 points per game this season and has cleared this number in six straight games, but this is a terrible matchup for him to keep that rolling.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are surrendering just 19.19 points per game to opposing shooting guards, which is the second-best mark in the NBA this season. They've held four straight starting shooting guards to under 13.5 points.

White has also struggled to score the ball against Cleveland as a member of the Boston Celtics. The veteran guard scored 12 or fewer points in all four matchups against the Cavs last season, averaging only 7.0 points per game. He went 11-28 (28.2 percent) from the field and 4-16 (25.0 percent) from three over those four games. 

White racks up a majority of his points from beyond the three-point line, but the Cavaliers rank 10th in the league in three-pointers allowed per game. This is a brutal matchup for White, and his recent hot streak has created a number we would like to play against.
