NBA Tips - Friday, January 2 NBA Picks & Multi

A 22-year-old seven-foot Frenchman, but probably not the first one that comes to mind, Maxime Raynaud gets a chance as the best bet today.

Best Bet

Boston Celtics @ Sacramento Kings (2:00pm)

Maxime Raynaud

Over 21.5PR

$1.86

Raynaud has been thrust into the Sacramento Kings starting lineup and for the most part has not let them down.

He has missed this number only twice in his last ten games, finishing with a double-double 50% of the time. The seven-foot Frenchman should enjoy a nice match up against an undersized Celtics outfit, who will roll Queta and Garza at the five.

Interestingly the two times he missed this line were both below twenty-six minutes, if he gets to 30+, this should be an easy clear.

Next Best

Utah Jazz @ L.A Clippers (2:30pm)

Kyle Filipowski

Over 23.5PR

Bet Now

$1.85

Banking on Utah to keep doing their thing and resting Markkanen at the slightest sign of an injury. Jusuf Nurkic, Kevin Love and Walker Kessler will all be out, leaving Flip as the last man standing at centre.

Without Nurkic this season, Kyle has averaged 21.6PPG and 10RPG across three games. If Markkanen does end up missing this game, I expect this line to bump up. The Clippers are also short handed at centre with Zubac being replaced by Brook Lopez.

Miami Heat @ Detroit Pistons (11:10am)

Kel'el Ware

15+ Points

$2.08

The Miami Heat have struggled to put their full squad on the court at the same time this season. Still some crucial players missing in this game, but Bam and Ware will start in the front court.

Ware has been producing well lately and has had 15 or more points in six of his last seven games. A healthy average of 18.4PPG over that period and he has been efficient in his scoring, shooting 64% from the field but an impressive 59% from deep. After adding the outside shot to his repertoire, Coach Spoelstra has seen the work he has put in to make it a valuable shot for the team.

The Heat played a bit of small ball against Denver, who also went small after losing Jokic to a knee injury. I don’t see them having the same game plan against Jalen Duren and we could see 30+ minutes out of Ware.

Ware 15+ Points/ Thompson 4+ Rebounds/ Stewart 4+ Rebounds
