Denver embarrassed the Lakers last game and the new coach didn’t hold back when talking to the media. After accusing his team of “just stopping playing” I’m expecting a big bounce back and it starts with their spiritual leader Lebron.
Best Bet
Phoenix Suns @ L.A Lakers (02:00pm)
I think he would circle these games on his calendar at the start of the season. A classic battle between himself and Kevin Durant that has now spanned 17 years with surely not many left. Four gold medal winning team mates in this game that share the respect every time they share the floor but also share the competitive desire to win.
Lebron in his 22nd season has shown no signs of slowing down, averaging 23.6 points and 9.1 assists per game, he is definitely giving father time a run for his money. A slightly discounted line after his recent game against Denver and we will absolutely take it.
Over his last ten his average PPG bumps to 24.5 and his assists are 10.3. He has cleared this line in 6 out of those 10. They haven’t played since Saturday, his minutes are up and the Lakers got ripped by JJ Redick for their lack of effort against Denver. Everything points to a huge game for King James.
SGM – James 20+ Points/ James 8+ Assists/ Nurkic 8+ Rebounds/ Durant 20+ Points = $4.20
Next Best
Chicago Bulls @ Washington Wizards (11:00am)
Vuc is proving a lot of NBA analysts wrong this season, with many predicting that his hot start would be unsustainable. Shooting above 50% from the field and above 40% from outside Vuc has scored at least 20 points in 10 of his 18 appearances this season.
An appealing matchup against the Washington Wizards who give up the second most points per game in the entire league and Vuc will likely draw the rookie Alex Sarr as his defender. Sarr is still finding his way in the league after being drafted 2nd overall in this seasons NBA draft.
The Bulls actually give the most points up per game so far this season so this has the potential to be an absolute points fest. With a chance of a blowout always in the back of my mind with Wizards games, I’m avoiding the total points over line and banking on Vucevic to get his work done early.
SGM – Bulls Win/ Vucevic 20+ Points/ Giddey Over 5.5 Assists = $3.75
Value Bet
Milwaukee Bucks @ Miami Heat (11:30am)
This seems like great value considering he has gone 10 and 9 in his last two appearances. He’s showing no limitations after returning from a 5 game lay off, an average of 36 mins over his last two. His per 36 min average is 8.4 rebounds per game.
Coming up against a Milwaukee side that looks to have revived their horrible season start, we will expect a 4 quarter game and Butler to play his regular minutes. Butler looks to be extremely engaged since returning from injury and the effort might correlate with it being a contract re-signing year.
Butler 6+ shows great value but after the last two games it might be worth considering a dabble at 8+ paying $4.80 and for the adventurous 10+ is paying $11!
SGM – Butler 6+ Rebounds/ Antetokunmpo Over 5.5 Assists/ Lopez 1+ 3 Pointer = $4.00
