Jamal Murray

Over 9.5 Rebounds and Assists

Bet Now

$1.78

Seems to be back to his best after a pretty slow start to the season. Even though his shot has faded this week, his peripheral stats have been solid.

Murray averages 4.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game for this season, this gives us a nice buffer here and he has cleared this line in 7 of his last 10 games. He has the ability to clear this line with just assists alone, having done so three times over that same period.

He has cleared this line against Boston every time he has played them going back to 2021. Boston have been struggling of late, so I expect them to challenge Denver from the tip. Denver should be able to keep it close after enjoying an extra day’s rest compared to their opponent.

SGM – Murray 6 + Assists/ Murray 4+ Rebounds/ Porter Jnr 15+ Points = $3.60

Next Best

Minnesota Timberwolves @ New Orleans Pelicans (12:10am)

Yves Missi

Under 10.5 Rebounds

Bet Now

$1.78

The rookie has found himself a solid starting position within the team and keeps growing week by week. We cashed this bet at Under 11.5 just two days ago.

He has cleared this line just once in his last 8 games, and that was against a favourable match up in Washington. Minnesota presents a much tougher opponent and Missi will have his hands full with Gobert and Reid. He has averaged just 7.7 rebounds over the past two weeks and only 8.4 for the season. I see enough fat in this line that he would have to have an elite level game to clear.

SGM – Missi under 10.5 Rebounds/ Randle 4+ Assists/ McDaniels 4+ Rebounds = $2.80

Value Bet

Houston Rockets @ Washington Wizards(11:10am)

Amen Thompson

4+ Assists

Bet Now

$2.40

Has finally found some consistent minutes and is making the most of them. Its come at the cost of team mate Jabari Smith’s hand being broken but he was hunting down a starting spot anyway.

Thompson’s assist line is 2.5 and if it wasn’t hammered into $1.56 it would have been my best bet of the day. Team’s will have to start scouting Amen, as the Lakers found today after he torched them for 23 points and 16 rebounds. He is averaging 3 assists per game over his last ten. A highly favourable match up against Washington, where small forwards have been enjoying a 22% increase in assists.

SGM – Thompson 4+ Assists/ Sarr 15+ Points/ Jalen Green 20+ Points = $7.25

Wednesday NBA Multi

Celtics/ Lakers/ Hawks/ Warriors
