Ja Morant - NBA Tips

A return to NBA action after Thanksgiving in the States, every team getting at least one day off and now 10 games to feast on.

Best Bet

New Orleans Pelicans @ Memphis Grizzlies (09:00am)

Ja Morant
Over 7.5 Assists

Short price and there is a reason why, this line is terrible. Happy to play this if it kicks to 8.5 at full odds.

Ja has had a rocky start to this season and the Grizz are desperate for him to return. 12 – 7 on the season, the likes of Scottie Pippen Jnr and Santi Aldama have been brave filling in the void left by Memphis’ long injury list. Ja missed 8 games with a hip injury from a hard fall and more recently missed last game due to a knee bruise.

Morant has averaged 9.3 assists per game in his limited games this season, that includes games he only played half and did not return due to injury. He has cleared this line 7/8 times this season if you excuse the injury game. He is a pass first point guard and double digit assists is par for this game.

SGM – Morant 8+ Assists/ Jackson Jnr Over 18.5 Points/ Bane 4+ Rebounds = $3.75


Next Best

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers (02:00pm)

Lebron James
Over 7.5 Rebounds

The Lakers look to be in a world of trouble, continually messing with their line-up and tinkering with minutes, all while trade rumours circle like sharks and players are clearly being affected.

Lebron is still one of the constants through this period and is providing great numbers and leadership to their squad. Flirting with a triple double most nights he has reached that feat 5 out of his last 10 games, he is averaging 9.3 rebounds over that period.

OKC were short handed when it came to rebounders and have been heavily reliant on Jalen Williams, that is until the return of Isaiah Hartenstein. Although the Thunder now have a genuine Centre in the line-up, it shouldn’t affect the 17% increase to rebounds they have been giving up for the opposing power forward spot. The Lakers get a great opportunity against the 1 seed in the West to see just how in contention they are, or potentially, how much they need to blow it up.

SGM – Lebron 8+ Rebounds/ Hartenstein 8+ Rebounds/ Williams Over 4.5 Assists = $3.50


Value Bet

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Atlanta Hawks (06:30am)

Trae Young
14+ Assists

The Hawks have probably underperformed for this stage of the season but in an exact replay of this game, they beat the Eastern first seed Cavaliers and handed them only their second loss for the season.

Trae has been enormous thus far and we need to take advantage of the hot hand. Young is averaging 12.5 assists per game this season and since missing a game on November 12, has averaged 14 assists in the next 7 games. On paper it may seem a steep number but he has managed to clear this 5 times already in this short season.

They face the Cavs again in successive games, last time he finished with 20 points and 22 assists. I can’t see him getting another 22, but can he really drop off 8 assists against an identical opponent 2 days later?

SGM – Young 10+ Assists/ Hunter Over 14.5 Points/ Allen 10+ Rebounds = $3.50
