Nuggets vs. Warriors
Kristaps Porziņģis Under 5.5 Rebounds & Assists (-130)
Kristaps Porzingis played 17 minutes in his Warriors' debut a few nights ago.
The Warriors said that number will tick up slightly this game, so maybe he gets to 20 minutes.
It’s a low ceiling for playing time that’s been confirmed by the team.
Porzingis managed only one rebound on three rebound chances and one assist on three potential assists in his first game with the team.
The Nuggets are allowing the 8th-fewest rebounds and the 4th-fewest assists to centers on the season.
Pick: Kristaps Porziņģis Under 5.5 Rebounds & Assists (-130)
Celtics vs. Lakers
Jaylen Brown Over 27.5 Points (-130)
Action PRO is projecting 30.94 points for Jaylen Brown in the Celtics' matchup against the Lakers this evening, presenting a 15.7% edge against his current points prop line at FanDuel of over/under 27.5, which is good enough to give the Over an A- grade in our database.
Brown finds himself in a bit of a cold spell entering tonight's contest, having scored 26 points or less in four straight games.
However, prior to his last four games, Brown scored 29+ points in three straight games, and he's averaging 29.2 points per game on the season.
This should be a good spot for him to get back on track against a Lakers team that ranks 24th in defensive rating and 19th in points allowed on the season.
Pick: Jaylen Brown Over 27.5 Points (-130)
Trail Blazers vs. Suns
Jalen Green Under 24.5 Points (-120)
Given the unavailability of Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks, the bookmakers have set a points prop of 24.5 for Suns' guard Jalen Green.
It's worth noting that Green has only featured in eight games, starting three, after missing the majority of the season with a right hamstring injury and a left hip contusion.
The former second overall pick played over 30 minutes (37) for the first time this campaign, and his career-worst 38.3% field goal percentage suggests there are still signs of rust in his game.
If not for the two overtime periods, I'm fairly confident the Suns' medical staff wouldn't have wanted Green anywhere near the court for that length of time.
Lastly, should the Trail Blazers get the upper hand and take a commanding lead, there's a scenario in which the Suns decide not to bring Green back into the game.
A lot would have to go right for Green to exceed this prop line, but given the unique spot, the under warrants some strong consideration.
Pick: Jalen Green Under 24.5 Points (-120)
Cavaliers vs. Thunder
Jaylon Tyson Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (+110)
By Matt Moore
The Thunder give up the most corner threes in the league.
Jaylon Tyson leads the Cavs in 3-point attempts from the corner and shoots 47% on them.
Tyson is listed at +110 to hit 2+ three-pointers at FanDuel, and I’ll play his ladder up to 4+ at +900.
Pick: Jaylon Tyson Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (+110)
