Julius Randle will face one of his former teams that he has a good record against across his career, with his Timberwolves desperate for a win.
Best Bet
Brooklyn Nets @ Chicago Bulls (12:10pm)
A bizarre rebounds line for role player Jalen Wilson – perhaps due to the Nets likely without Simmons and Claxton questionable. Either way, Wilson is a 6’6 Small Forward so won’t be playing centre minutes for Brooklyn.
Wilson’s minutes have been steady this season, but over the course of the year he’s only covered 6.5 rebounds twice from 20 games – the most recent time was against the Warriors where he played 40 minutes.
Even though we’ll likely see a minutes increase due to injuries, Wilson is averaging just 3.6 rebounds per game so I can’t see him pulling in 7.
SGM – Bulls / Wilson Under 6.5 Rebounds / LaVine 4+ Assists = $4.00
Next Best
LA Lakers @ Minnesota Timberwolves (12:10pm)
Randle is certainly a polarising figure in the NBA, but he does continue to post strong numbers.
The former Knick will play another of his old teams in the Lakers, and leading in his last eight games has averaged a PR of 29.8 per game, covering this line in six of those games.
Randle does have a great career record against the Lakers – although he didn’t cover this PR earlier in the season at Minnesota, prior to this he averaged a PR of 40.6 from his seven prior meetings.
Should cover against a tired, shallow Lakers roster entering off no rest.
SGM – Randle 20+ Points/ DiVincenzo Under 9.5 Points / Gobert Under 10.5 Points = $5.25
Value Bet
New Orleans Pelicans @ Atlanta Hawks (11:40am)
Has found a nice role in this Atlanta team and although they’re expected to be full strength I can still see Hunter having a major offensive impact.
Averaging 18.9 points from his last nine games, Hunter has scored 20+ in five of those. He still managed 18 points last start against the Hornets in just 24 minutes, so it’s clear Quin Snyder has given him the green light to be a bit more aggressive offensively.
While Trae Young continues to struggle to score the ball, I think Hunter can pick up that slack.
SGM – Hunter 15+ Points / Murray 4+ Rebounds / Murray 6+ Assists = $3.50
