NBA Tips – Tuesday, January 7 NBA Picks & Multi

Kevin Durant

The Suns are in freefall and Coach Bud has made some big calls to the starting five – what can Kevin Durant do to help get the Suns a win?

Best Bet

San Antonio Spurs @ Chicago Bulls (12:10pm)

Josh Giddey
Over 6.5 Rebounds

The Australian continues to produce big rebound games and I’m shocked to see his line still at 6.5 rebounds.

Josh Giddey has now produced double-digit rebound games in three of his last four games, and from his last seven averages 9.7 rebounds per game covering in six of those.

The Bulls face the Spurs in this one, who are the third easiest team in the NBA over the last month for point guards to rebound against at 17% above average, so there’s no reason why we won’t see another 10+ rebound effort by Giddey which is currently priced at $3.80.

SGM – Wemby 25+ Points / Giddey Over 6.5 Rebounds / Giddey 6+ Assists = $3.20


Next Best

Phoenix Suns @ Philadelphia 76ers (11:10am)

Kevin Durant
Over 25.5 Points

The Suns are a mess, and Coach Bud has blown up the starting five for Phoenix’s upcoming game with the 76ers.

With Beal and Nurkic coming off the bench, this just provides more scoring opportunities for KD.

Averaging 30 points per game from his last 10, KD has covered 25.5 points in seven of those games. Winning just one of their last eight games, this is a huge game for the Suns and with this line-up re-jig I think we’ll see both KD and Booker go big against Philadelphia.

SGM – Suns +3.5 / Durant Over 25.5 Points / Jones 10+ Points = $4.50


Value Bet

Milwaukee Bucks @ Toronto Raptors (11:40am)

Immanuel Quickley
8+ Assists

Not sure why we haven’t seen Immanuel Quickley’s assist line move yet, but the Toronto Point Guard has produced since returning from injury.

Quickley had 15 assists against the Nets and then followed it up last start against the Magic where he had another double-digit assist game with 11.

Although the Bucks are one of the better teams at limiting assists over the last month, it’s going to take a significant drop-off for Quickley not to cover his line of 6.5 assists in this and I’m more than happy to take both that and the value of 8+.

SGM – Middleton Over 13.5 Points / Barrett 6+ Rebounds / Quickley Over 6.5 Assists = $4.75

Knicks / Kings / Mavs +5.5
