Best Bet
Warriors @ Hawks (10:30am)
Trae Young Over 36.5 PA ($1.87)
Last time Trae Young played the Golden State Warriors he recorded 28 points and 9 assists in 32 minutes of play, but the Warriors have struggled on the defensive end of late which gives Trae a big opportunity.
To start the season Golden State were one of the best teams at defending the point, and when they played Atlanta on November 8 they restricted points to point guards 9% below average, and assists 14% below average – despite this Trae still managed 28 and 9.
But over the last month Golden State is the seventh easiest team for point guards to score against, 8% above average as well as 3% above average on assists.
Averaging a PA of 40.3 per game over the last 13, expect a big game from Trae as the Warriors continue to adjust to life without Steph Curry.

Next Best
Mavericks @ Timberwolves (11:00am)
Jalen Brunson Over 15.5 Points ($1.81)
Playing Luka’s sidekick all season for the Mavericks, Jalen Brunson has played well against the Minnesota Timberwolves this season and the line of 15.5 points appears low.
Although he only managed 15 points against them a few days back, he averages 20.3 points against them from three games this season and enters this averaging 17.6 points from his last 10 games.
The Timberwolves, led by Pat Beverley, put a lot of time into Luka Doncic when they played last limiting him to just 15 points – expect Brunson to be the beneficiary of this having another nice game for the Mavericks.

76ers @ Clippers (1:30PM)
Joel Embiid 35+ Points ($2.63)
Joel Embiid is going beast mode on the Clippers. With Ivica Zubac in the five, they concede points to centres 13% above average over the last month, which means Embiid should have a day out.
Although there were concerns on how Harden would affect Embiid’s output, we’re yet to see it. He averages 31.4 points per game from his 12 alongside Harden this season, covering the line of 31.5 in seven of them.
Although the Clippers struggle at defending bigs, they’ve done a good job of slowing down backcourts over the last month – point guards are scoring 9% below average, and the 2-spot is scoring 8% below. This just means the 76ers will need to rely more on Joel on the offensive end.
Last time Embiid faced the Clippers in January he scored 40 – with this in mind it’s worth taking the points line of 31.5, 35+ at $2.63 and 40+ at $5.50.
