Dame returns to Portland for the first time since joining the Bucks and I’m expecting a huge performance.
Best Bet
Chicago Bulls @ Charlotte Hornets (11:10am)
With Terry Rozier traded and LaMelo Ball injured again, the Hornets are in absolute shambles which has resulted in Cody Martin running the point for them.
Martin played 30 minutes last start against the Knicks and recorded 14 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in a well-rounded performance.
There’s really no one else that will act as a distributor on this roster at the moment aside from Ish Smith who only played the 11 minutes, so Steve Clifford will likely persist with Martin at the 1 which should see another strong assist game.
SGM – Bulls / Washington 15+ Points / Martin Over 4.5 Assists = $4.33
Next Best
New Orleans Pelicans @ Houston Rockets (12:10pm)
New Orleans have been surprisingly good on the road this season. The Pelicans are 12-10 on the road ranked 9th for road win percentage, with a 57% road coverage rate.
The Pelicans have won eight of their last 12 road games, but do enter Houston off the back of three road losses. But these were against Boston, which they covered, Milwaukee, Dallas and Denver.
The Rockets start the season strong on their home court but have only won 5 of their last 11 in Houston. In the last ten road games, New Orleans has covered in a league best seven of them and they should be too good for this Rockets outfit.
SGM – Pelicans / Smith 8+ Rebounds / VanVleet 8+ Assists = $4.50
Value Bet
Milwaukee Bucks @ Portland Trail Blazers (2:10pm)
Dame returns to Portland for the first time this season!
Lillard has faced his old team in November last year but this was played in Milwaukee, where he scored 31 points. But returning to his old home floor could really see some fireworks in this one.
All things considered, I’m shocked to see Dame’s line at just 25.5 points which he should have no troubles covering, with another 30 against his old team on the cards.
SGM – Lillard Over 25.5 Points / Grant Over 20.5 Points / Walker 8+ Rebounds = $5.50
Thursday NBA Multi
Bulls / Pelicans / Kings = $5.80
