New Orleans have officially fired Willie Green with former Charlotte Coach James Borrego stepping in – what can he do when the Pelicans host the red-hot Warriors?

James Borrego steps in as Interim Coach after the firing of Willie Green, which will be a pleasant surprise for New Orleans fans, with Borrego the former Coach of the Hornets who was surprisingly sacked at the time.

I expect Borrego to shake things up a bit for the Pelicans, which makes this a risky contest for Golden State.

The Warriors are coming off two huge wins over the Spurs on the road with Curry going for 46 and 49. There’s the potential of a bit of a lull in this contest, and with a new coach at the helm for New Orleans I expect them to cover this, and will make a small play at the win paying $5.

Chicago Bulls @ Utah Jazz (12:10pm)

Jusuf Nurkic

4+ Assists

Bet Now

$1.88

The Bosnian Beast has always been a good passer as a big man, and has played an important role for the Jazz since the season ending injury to Walker Kessler.

Nurkic averages 4.1 assists as a starter this season, but it’s his recent form in that starting role which is most encouraging.

In his last six games as a starter, Nurkic averages 4.5 assists hitting 4+ in five of those games including eight last start against the Hawks. The Bulls are getting smashed by centres this season in all facets, including conceding assists 10% above average. Should see another big Nurk assist game.

Brooklyn Nets @ Washington Wizards (10:10am)

Nic Claxton

20+ Points

Bet Now

$2.95

Has hovered around 20 points per game from his last eight games, including 21 against the Raptors two starts back.

Averaging 17.1 points per game over this stretch, Claxton comes up against the second easiest team in the NBA for centres to score against this season in the Washington Wizards – conceding points 26% above average.

Throw in an extra boost in usage with the absence of Cam Thomas, I think we’ll see the big man hit this at a nice price.
