With the two worst teams facing off here, we could see the Cooper Flagg Cup awarded after the game.
Best Bet
Utah Jazz @ Washington Wizards (11:10am)
Last in the East versus last in the West. This might be one of the worst games of the season and I hate that I’ve found a great bet and have to watch the box score.
Sarr is working his way back from an ankle injury and has played just 4 games since the end of January. He hasn’t cleared 8 rebounds in any of those games and we have to go back to the 24th Jan for that. Only averaging 4.4 rebounds per game over his last five, he has been disappointing to say the least.
He will face a Utah line-up without the usual front court of Kessler and Collins, but the young Jazz front court fill-ins are eager to earn more minutes and prove themselves in the league.
SGM – Sarr Under 7.5 Rebounds/ Ky. George 4+ Assists/ Juzang Over 8.5 Points = $4.50
Next Best
Portland Trail Blazers @ Boston Celtics (11:10am)
Portland are continuing to shock the league, a team that most thought would be competing for the Cooper Flagg Cup, is suddenly on the verge of making the Play-In Tournament.
Facing Boston in this game, but I’m not sure what Boston team will we see at this stage. With majority of the starters questionable, Boston might opt for a skeleton squad who they hope can still manage a victory against the Blazers. That will only help this bet, with Avdija potentially going against Hauser or someone having to play out of position.
He had a 30 point, triple double against Cleveland this week and has averaged 27.8 PRA over his last five games. This includes a 6-minute game, where Deni left with a huge corky to the thigh. If Jerami Grant can’t return for this one, Portland will need 35+ minutes from Avdija.
SGM – Avdija 6+ Rebounds/ Avdija 4+ Assists/ Clingan 8+ Rebounds = $3.60
Value Bet
Miami Heat @ Cleveland Cavaliers (11:10am)
Strus has averaged 11 points per game over his last five and cleared this line 4 out of those 5 games.
He will get a chance here to face his former team, the Miami Heat, who are struggling at the minute. The Cavs are rolling again and are currently on an 11 game win streak. I would not be surprised to see Darius Garland rest here in a back to back and if so, Strus should start for the Cavs. The majority of Max’s shots come from behind the arc and he has the ability to 10+ just in threes. Strus averages 30 minutes in his last five games when Garland sits, that’s easily enough time for Strus to get 10+ Points.
SGM – Strus 10+ Points/ Mobley 10+ Rebounds/ Adebayo 4+ Assists = $7.25
