Just three games on Sunday and although the Timberwolves enter this off no rest, the Nets are enduring a horror run with a new coach.
Best Bet
Brooklyn Nets @ Minnesota Timberwolves (1:10pm)
It’s been rough for the Nets for quite a while now – from every NBA team’s last 25 games, Brooklyn has the equal-second worst record at 6-19 with the likes of San Antonio and Detroit.
They’re even worse on the road – from their last 15 road games they are 3-12 covering the spread just twice during that period. Minnesota had a tough slog against the Bucks and enter this off no rest, but with Brooklyn losing their last two road games by 50 and 28 points, they should be able to do a number on an out-of-sorts Brooklyn.
SGM – Timberwolves -7.5 / Under 216.5 Points = $3.30
Next Best
Orlando Magic @ Detroit Pistons (12:10pm)
Obviously takes a hit when Cade plays and he’s been terrible the last couple of games, but the line is still too low for Jayden Ivey in this.
The Sophomore averages 19.2 points per game from his last 19 outings, covering 14.5 points in 14 of those games. Despite being awful last start against the Pacers, Ivey still had a late offensive flurry to finish with 14 points.
Don’t expect the high usage effort where we saw Ivey scoring mid 20s per game, but as Detroit’s second scorer we should still see Ivey in the high teens.
SGM – Ivey 15+ Points / Magic / Wagner Over 20.5 Points = $4.00
Value Bet
Boston Celtics @ New York Knicks (12:40pm)
Thibs is really easing Isaiah Hartenstein back in slowly where the Knicks Centre only played 10 minutes last start. In contrast, Precious Achiuwa has well and truly cemented himself in New York’s rotation playing 38 minutes last start.
Precious smashed the 76ers recording 18 points and 11 rebounds with his second consecutive double-double and his third in five games.
The former Raptor’s minutes are through the roof at the moment playing at least 38 minutes in the last nine games. Expect a third consecutive double-double for Precious in this against the Celtics.
SGM – Achiuwa 10+ Rebounds / Hart Over 8.5 Rebounds / Holiday Over 4.5 Assists = $5.00
Sunday NBA Multi
Celtics / Magic / Timberwolves -7.5 = $3.42
