NBA Tips - Saturday, February 8 NBA Picks & Multi

After missing out on this season’s All Star selection, Trae Young has been playing with a point to prove.

After the All-Star snub, Trae has been playing like he took that personally. Averaging 33 points and 12 rebounds over his last three games, he might just be trying to send a message.

Trae jumped on twitter and wants the all star snubbing to be called “getting trae’d” in the future, showing us just how robbed he believes he has been. Still riding the high of hitting a game winner against Detroit, I expect ‘Ice Trae’ to continue proving his critics wrong.

Point guards against Milwaukee have enjoyed a 12% increase in points and 10% increase in assists over the last 3 weeks.

SGM – Young 25+ Points/ Young 8+ Assists/ Antetokounmpo 25+ Points = $2.50

Next Best

Toronto Raptors @ Oklahoma City Thunder (12:10pm)

Shai Gilgeous - Alexander

Over 31.5 Points

It’s hard to ignore what SGA is currently producing. 38.4 points per game over his last ten games, but its 40 points on average just isolating his last five games. In that time, he has had two 50 point games including last game where he cleared this line by half time.

We might see the return of Chet Holmgren, but if anything it helps Shai. Chet will have huge minutes restrictions and won’t be impactful for OKC just yet. Shai is currently the favourite for the MVP, he’s in scintillating form and is facing his fellow countrymen in the Toronto Raptors.

SGM – SGA 30+ Points/ Barnes 6+ Assists/ Jalen Williams = $3.00

Value Bet

Philadelphia 76ers @ Detroit Pistons (11:30am)

Joel Embiid

6+ Assists

$4.00

I hate working off a one game sample size, but what a game it was. A triple double with 10 assists.

Granted it wont happen every game, but with a crazy usage rating of 37%, it means the opportunities will be there. He finished last game with a potential 14 assists and still managed to have 29 points himself.

He has cleared 6 assists in his last two starts, even though they worth a month apart. Centre’s against Detroit have had a field day over the past two weeks. Detroit are giving up the most assists to Centre’s in the entire league so we couldn’t ask for a better match up.

SGM – Embiid 6+ Assists/ Duren 10+ Rebounds/ Oubre Jnr. 6+ Rebounds = $9.25
