A rookie sensation last week, a big struggling for minutes this week. Derik Queen had the NBA world talking after three big games, but he’s been really poor lately and second-year player Yves Missi is taking his minutes at centre.

New Orleans Pelicans @ LA Lakers (1:40pm)
NBA life happens quick for some, and Derik Queen is learning the hard way after some media hype less than a fortnight ago!
Queen had some big games under Borrego as a starter, but whether this was the defining moment or not, since he stole the ball from Vit Krejci when the Hawk was dribbling out a few starts back, the rookie has seen far less minutes and his output has been non-existent.
Borrego has started to prioritise Yves Missi at Centre off the bench, and it’s the right decision. Missi leads the team in +/- over this stretch with +34, while Queen is a crazy -46 in just 56 minutes.
Averaging 5.2 rebounds in the last five games, it’s hard to see Queen go over this rebound line in limited opportunities.
Next Best
San Antonio Spurs @ Minnesota Timberwolves (11:10am)
No real reason why we’ve seen Donte DiVincenzo’s points line drop aside from the fact there’s a clean bill of health at Minnesota.
Donte is averaging 13.7 points per game this season, but he’s consistent – the Combo Guard has hit 12+ points in ten of his last 15 games, and when he’s played 30+ minutes he’s done so in 10 of 13 games.
The Spurs are by far the easiest team for point guards to score against over the last month at 22% above average, so we should see the ‘Big Ragu’ cover.
Value Bet
Toronto Raptors @ New York Knicks (10:10am)
Making the most of his starting opportunity and minutes while OG Anunoby is sidelined.
Miles McBride is averaging 11.2 points per game this season, but he’s produced some big games for the Knicks in OG’s absence. McBride averages 16.6 points in the five games without OG, which includes him hitting 19+ points on three occasions.
He’s only played four games this season where he’s had 30+ minutes, but McBride averages 18.3 points when doing so. With no Shamet or OG, he will cover 10.5 points, should hit 15+ at a price, and I don’t mind the 20+ points paying $8.
