NBA Tips – Sunday, March 9 NBA Picks & Multi

Josh Giddey continues to post huge numbers for the Bulls, and there’s no reason the streak will end when he heads to Miami.

Best Bet

Chicago Bulls @ Miami Heat (12:10pm)

Josh Giddey
Over 32.5 PRA

Posting ridiculous numbers since the LaVine trade. In Josh Giddey’s last 13 games since he got the keys to the offense, he’s averaging a PRA of 34.8, covering the PRA of 32.5 in nine of those games.

But it’s his recent run which correlates with the absence of Dosunmu which has really seen the Australian explode.

In Giddey’s last seven games he is averaging 21.9 points, 11.1 rebounds and 8.6 assists for an average PRA of 41.6 – covering all seven games with ease. Understand the Heat could be tricky with Davion Mitchell’s defence, but due to Giddey’s size I expect Mitchell to go to Coby White in this, giving Giddey free rein for another big performance.

SGM – Giddey Over 32.5 PRA / Collins 6+ Rebounds / Bam Under 4.5 Assists = $3.50


Next Best

Orlando Magic @ Milwaukee Bucks (12:10pm)

Damian Lillard
Over 23.5 Points

Low line for Dame in this, but no doubt the fact they’re facing the low-scoring Orlando Magic plays a key factor in this.

The thing is, Orlando without Jalen Suggs have been really bad most of this year, where they are conceding points to point guards 4% above average over the last month.

Lillard has also filled up against the Magic on three occasions this year already, averaging 29 points per game and scoring 28+ points on all three occasions.

SGM – Lillard Over 23.5 Points / Giannis Over 17.5 RA / Banchero 20+ Points = $4.50


Value Bet

Detroit Pistons @ Golden State Warriors (12:40pm)

Steph Curry
30+ Points

The addition of Jimmy Butler to this Golden State team has been a godsend for Steph Curry.

Curry averaged just 22.9 points per game from 43 games this season, but we can already see the difference Jimmy Buckets has made – Steph is averaging 30.4 points per game from 11 games with Butler so far.

He enters this game against the Pistons off the back of 40 points against the Nets, with Detroit the third easiest team over the last month for point guards to score against at 9% above average.

SGM – Curry Over 26.5 Points / Green 6+ Assists / Duren Over 2.5 Assists = $4.20
