It hasn’t been a great season for Tyrese Haliburton after what he produced the year prior, but since the All Star break he’s been back to his best.
Best Bet
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Memphis Grizzlies (11:10am)
We’ve seen the points line jump up for Garland and Mobley, but Deandre Hunter’s line hasn’t really moved too much for this clash with the Grizzlies.
We saw what Hunter was capable of this season with the Hawks in regard to scoring the basketball, and even in the one game he’s played without Donovan Mitchell he lit it up for 32 against the Trail Blazers.
Missed last game which may be why we’re seeing a smaller line here, but I expect Hunter’s usage and field goal attempts to be right up there as a likely starter for this Cleveland team.
SGM – Cavs / Hunter 15+ Points / Morant 6+ Assists = $3.60
Next Best
Charlotte Hornets @ San Antonio Spurs (11:10am)
Has been fairly quiet lately which correlated with the Spurs acquiring De’Aaron Fox, with all statistical categories down playing alongside the former King, but with Fox ruled out for the remainder of the season we should see a bit of a spike for CP3.
His per 36 minute numbers without Fox and Wemby on floor this season are 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 9.4 assists, while in five games he’s played without either of them this season Paul averaged 12.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 8 assists for a PRA of 25.
Has been playing around 26 minutes lately, but expect this to be closer to 30 with a shorter rotation for the Spurs and gap at point guard, so the veteran should cover this PRA against a poor Charlotte outfit.
SGM – Bridges 25+ Points / Vassell 15+ Points / Paul Over 19.5 PRA = $4.00
Value Bet
Indiana Pacers @ Philadelphia 76ers (10:10am)
He entered All Star break completely out of form, but has emerged from the break as one of the better players in the NBA over the last three weeks.
Tyrese Haliburton is looking so much better for the Pacers, and in his last seven games he’s averaged 12.1 assist per game including hitting 12+ on four occasions.
The Indiana Point Guard faces the 76ers who are the easiest team in the NBA for point guards to produce assists against over this period, at 23% above average. Hali has had 15 assists against Houston and Denver recently, don’t be surprised if we see another monster assist effort against Philadelphia.
SGM – Turner 15+ Points / Turner Under 6.5 Rebounds / Haliburton Double Double = $6.00
