NBA Tips - Monday, December 22 NBA Picks & Multi

A couple of big Frenchmen have been having an impact in their own way the last couple of weeks – one being one of the biggest names in the NBA, another one a rookie that has made the most of his opportunities.

Been a revelation for the Sacramento Kings, which could alter their outlook for the future.

Maxime Raynaud was drafted at Pick 42, but he’s been required to play in the absence of Sabonis and he’s delivered. The Frenchman has exploded without Sabonis, LaVine and Eubanks, scoring 17 and 29 in the last two games.

Averaging 16.3 points from his last nine games, Raynaud has covered this line in five of those games including three of the last four, and when he faced the Rockets earlier in the month he dropped 25 on them.

Houston concedes points to centres at 17% above average over the last month – this is one of the better bets of the season.

San Antonio Spurs @ Washington Wizards (11:10am)

Victor Wembenyama

Over 18.5 Points

The line is simply too low – Wemby can do this against Washington in 12 minutes.

In his four games back, the Frenchman is averaging 20.3 points in 21 minutes per game, and I expect the Spurs to slowly build his minutes.

Wemby only scored 15 against the Wizards two games back, but he played 17 minutes. Expect 20+ minutes in this, and if that happens this is an easy cover.

Value Bet

Miami Heat @ New York Knicks (10:10am)

Mitchell Robinson

10+ Rebounds

Bet Now

$2.30

Rebounding like a mad man off the bench for the Knicks.

A monster game by Robinson against the 76ers last game finishing with 16 rebounds to go with 21 points, and the game prior he pulled in 15 rebounds in 18 minutes against the Spurs.

The last three weeks, Robinson is producing a monster 20.2 rebounds per 36 minutes, resulting in an average of 10.6 rebounds in 19 minutes per game.

The Heat is the second easiest team for centres to rebound against – so if Robinson plays 20 minutes he could produce another mammoth rebound game. 10+ is outstanding value – but also consider laddering up to 15+ rebounds paying $12, which he’s achieved in his last two games.

Hart 10+ Points / Robinson 8+ Rebounds / Ware 8+ Rebounds
