The Bucks and the Pistons remain undefeated in the Emirates Cup, but that must change as they go head to head in Detroit. Can Brook torch the Pistons again like he did back in November?
Best Bet
Milwaukee Bucks @ Detroit Pistons (11:00am)
Lopez has been shooting the lights out lately, going at .62% over his last fortnight. .47% for the season indicates this is a bit of heater and I’m happy to take a piece of the action.
Averaging 17.2PPG over his last two weeks he has seen a strong uptick in scoring of late. His usual scoring output is around that 12PPG mark which as an average for this season still clears this line.
Clearing this in 5 of his last 6 and the one that didn’t clear missed by just half a bucket. The good news is they are playing Detroit who really struggle to defend the stretch 5 position. Earlier this season Brook lit them up to the tune of 29 points including 5 3 pointers. He had 17 field goal attempts that game and would only need less than half of those to clear for us here.
SGM – Lopez 10+ Points/ Ivey 15+ Points/ Antetokounmpo 6+ Assists = $3.40

Golden State Warriors @ Denver Nuggets (2:00pm)
The big fella just doesn’t stop producing stats. He’s averaging 29 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists per game over his last ten.He has cleared this mark in 7 of those ten games.
Drawing a favorable matchup against Golden State who are persisting with Trayce Jackson-Davis for as long as they can before switching to a small ball setup with Draymond Green as their Centre. The Centre position gives Coach Kerr headaches against regular teams but now they face the 3 time MVP. Will we see more Kevon Looney at Centre?
Averaging 13.4 against the Warriors in the last ten matchups bodes well for us, with a lowest of 8 but a highest of 19. He’s the MVP favourite for a reason, I’m on board.
SGM – Jokic 10+ Rebounds/ Curry 4+ Assists/ Porter Jnr 6+ Rebounds = $2.40
Value Bet
San Antonio Spurs @ Phoenix Suns (1:00pm)
Who would have thought we would get here, backing the tallest guy in the league to just stand and jack triples? But he’s pretty good at it.
Wemby has averaged 10 3-point attempts over his last ten games. A phenomenal number that goes against everything basketball purists would think but in the modern game its becoming surprisingly normal. Averaging 5 made threes over his last 7 games he’s been shooting it at over 40% from deep.
Facing Phoenix here who will be trying to manage Wembanyama with Mason Plumlee and Oso Ighodaro who, unless you’re a Phoenix supporter, you have never heard of. Coming off a 30 point triple double, confidence will be sky high.
SGM – Wembanyama 3+ 3’s/ Beal 15+ Points/ Champagnie 10+ Points = $4.20
