NBA Tips – Tuesday, January 14 NBA Picks & Multi

Washington are bad, and have only won one game away from home. Luckily for them, they take on Minnesota in D.C and Jordan Poole will have a chance to make this a contest.

Best Bet

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Washington Wizards (11:10am)

Jordan Poole
Over 25.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists

Looks to be a staggering line on face value, the only down side here is that he plays for Washington and they have the ability to get blown out by half time, resulting in lower playing minutes. He has averaged 32 minutes over his last ten but only 26 over his last four games.

Poole has averaged 24 points, 4 rebounds and 4.5 assists over his last ten games, clearing this combined line with points alone on 5 of those occasions. The points only line is 18.5 but with Poole’s ability to gather peripheral stats, ill take the insurance and hope for an all round performance.

SGM – Poole 20+ Points/ Valanciunas 6+ Rebounds/ DiVincenzo 4+ Assists = $4.00


Next Best

Golden State Warriors @ Toronto Raptors (11:40am)

Dennis Schroder
Under 6.5 Assists

Has really struggled since the abrupt trade from Brooklyn. He has only cleared this line of 6.5 twice since his arrival. With an average assist number of 4.7 over the last month, this looks to be comfortably high.

His minutes are down to 28.4 since becoming a Warrior and I see no reason why Coach Kerr changes things here against Toronto. His per 36 numbers only show him averaging 6 assists which still would not clear. The only danger to bringing this undone is if Steph Curry gets flamethrower hot and Schroder feeds the All Star.

SGM – Schroder Under 6.5 Assists/ Curry 4+ Rebounds/ Barrett 4+ Assists = 3.30


Value Bet

Memphis Grizzlies @ Houston Rockets (12:10pm)

Ja Morant
25+ Points

Had an absolute shocker last game and this will be the game he bounces back. He finished last game with only 12 points but was 3/17 from the field, up until late in the fourth. Confidence may have waivered, but Morant was the ever professional and made two clutch go ahead baskets to seal the victory over the Timberwolves.

Finishing a game with that level of responsibility and coming up clutch for his team, would have made him quickly forget about how the night started. Morant is far to good to find a slump and has been building an All Star calibre season when he can stay healthy.

Since the 30th of November, Ja has cleared 25 points 6 times out of a possible 13 games. Ja dropped 27 against Houston only 4 days ago and getting 11 free throws helped. If he is as aggressive this game, he can easily replicate again, against the Rockets.

SGM – Morant 25+ Points/ Sengun 20+ Points/ Thompson 10+ Rebounds = $6.75
