NBA Tips – Saturday, November 2 NBA Picks & Multi

We swept our two best bets and value bet yesterday, and we’ve found plenty more bets for Saturday’s slate focusing on a few big men.

Best Bet

Sacramento Kings @ Atlanta Hawks (10:40pm)

Domantas Sabonis
Over 19.5 Points

Domantas Sabonis has started the season on fire offensively, averaging 24.3 points from four games including scoring 20+ in three of those games.

The Kings big man should feast on this Atlanta team who has half of their ten-deep rotation currently injured.

Even though Capela and Okongwu are playing, bigs are just smashing them so far this season scoring 41% above average from a small sample size. Sabonis’ minutes have been consistent so far this year, and if he plays his standard 36 minutes he’ll cover this with ease.

SGM – Sabonis 20+ Points / DeRozan 20+ Points / Johnson 10+ Rebounds = $5.50


Next Best

Los Angeles Lakers @ Toronto Raptors (10:40am)

Jakob Poeltl
Over 9.5 Rebounds

This Toronto team is fairly injured with Barnes, Quickley, Olynyk and Bruce Brown out. Even though Poeltl has been a 26-minute player for most of his career, the Austrian has averaged 32 minutes a game this season and enters this off 40 minutes against Denver and 35 against the Hornets.

Poeltl is ranked fourth in the NBA for rebounds per 36 minutes of all players averaging 20+ minutes per game, with 14.3 – but without Scottie Barnes on the floor, Poeltl’s rebounds per 36 minutes jump to 15.8.

Every chance the Raptors big man plays close to 36 minutes again in this, so I wouldn’t be ruling out a 14+ rebound effort paying $4.50.

SGM – Poeltl 10+ Rebounds /Davis 25+ Points / Dick 15+ Points = $3.50


Value Bet

Boston Celtics @ Charlotte Hornets (10:10am)

Nick Richards
Double Double

Nick Richards isn’t ranked too far behind Jakob Poeltl for rebounds per 36 minutes with 13.9, and the Charlotte big man is clearly in the new coach’s good books while Mark Williams recovers from the longest foot injury known to mankind.

Richards has recorded a double double in his last three games, including going to town on the Raptors with a 24-point and 14-rebound performance.

With not a whole heap of depth at centre for Charlotte, Richards should play around 34 minutes against the Celtics and from his last 23 games he’s played 30+ minutes the big man has averaged 12.2 points and 10.5 rebounds, including 14 double doubles.

SGM – Richards Over 10.5 Points / White 15+ Points / Ball 20+ Points = $3.75
