Luka Doncic in purple and gold will be agonising viewing for Dallas fans everywhere, especially if he gives them an epic performance. As the Lakers and Mavs face off for the first time since that blockbuster trade.
Best Bet
Phoenix Suns @ Memphis Grizzlies (12:10pm)
He has got his starting spot back and it appears he wants to show his team that he is never going back to a 6th man role again.
Since returning to the starting SG position, Beal has been fantastic. A PRA average of over 34 in those three games, he has cleared this line every time with points and rebounds alone. Add the assists for insurance, with Phoenix fading Tyus Jones of late and Beal averaging nearly 4 assists per game over that stretch.
Should be a hotly contested game against Memphis and with Phoenix currently outside the play in, Beal should get close to 40 minutes to gather bulk stats.
SGM – Beal Over 26.5 PRA/Jackson Jnr 20+ Points/ Booker 25+ Points = $4.33
Next Best
San Antonio Spurs @ New Orleans Pelicans (12:10pm)
We just have to take this number don’t we? Kelly was recently traded to the New Orleans Pelicans who are using him in their starting power forward role. Olynyk is a league veteran and after playing for seven different teams over his career, he understands the business aspect of the NBA and will have moved on from the initial shock of being traded.
2 games so far as a Pel, one shocker with only 3 rebounds and last game out he amassed 15! Both games around the 25 minute mark which is promising, and with starter minutes this line is low for someone who usually plays as a centre.
San Antonio are the opponent here and they are struggling to fill Wembanyama’s shoes. Power Forwards have been going 18% better in rebounds, against the Spurs, over the last two weeks.
SGM – Olynyk 6+ Rebounds/ Fox 6+ Rebounds/ McCollum 2+ 3 Pointers = $3.30
Value Bet
Dallas Mavericks @ Los Angeles Lakers (2:10pm)
Emotions will be running high as these two teams face each other for the first time since the ridiculous trade, that sent Luka to the Lakers and A.D to Dallas’ bench.
Blindsided by the trade, Luka would love nothing more than to get some poetic justice against his former employer. With Dallas currently riddled with injury, we couldn’t ask for a better time for this clash. Luka will be too much for the Mavs and you just know LeBron and the Lakers would love nothing more than to showcase Doncic in front of the Laker army.
He has missed a triple double by 2 assists and 3 assists respectively in his last two games. Now looking more and more at home in L.A, I expect a huge game from Laker Doncic.
SGM – Doncic Triple Double/ Hachimura 15+ Points/ Christie 4+ Rebounds = $11
