Thunder vs. Nets
Nic Claxton Under 17.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-110)
Nic Claxton has been capped at 20-21 minutes in four straight games.
Brooklyn has been destroyed in three of those contests, but the stretch also includes a victory over Memphis. However, Claxton still only played 21 minutes in that game.
There could be a bit more playing time upside in a competitive game, but it's hard to imagine that scenario playing out, given the Nets are 19.5-point underdogs against the Thunder tonight.
It's a brutal all-around matchup for him against OKC. Let's fade Claxton tonight.
Pick: Nic Claxton Under 17.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-110)
Raptors vs. Bulls
Tre Jones Over 13.5 Points (-115)
By Chris Prince
Tre Jones has found himself in a much bigger role lately as the Bulls continue to deal with injuries to some of their key guards.
We should see a similar role for him tonight. Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey are out once again for Chicago. Isaac Okoro is doubtful. Collin Sexton is listed as questionable.
Jones has taken at least 10 shots in seven straight games, and he has gone over this number in seven of his last nine games, averaging 17.5 points per game over that span.
Action PRO is projecting 15.3 points for Jones in tonight's matchup.
Pick: Tre Jones Over 13.5 Points (-115)
Jazz vs. Timberwolves
Cody Williams Over 20.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-105)
By Chris Prince
Cody Williams has been playing a massive role for this banged-up Utah team, logging at least 36 minutes in six straight games.
He flashed a massive ceiling against Sacramento last time out, totaling a whopping 48 PRA.
While I'm not banking on that type of performance again, it's good to see that he has it in his bag, and he has topped this number in five of his last six games.
This is not the easiest spot for him, with the Jazz listed as 13.5-point underdogs against the Wolves tonight — but this number is simply too low for a guy playing this many minutes on a consistent basis.
Pick: Cody Williams Over 20.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-105)
Lakers vs. Rockets
Amen Thompson Over 18.5 Points (-105)
Action PRO is projecting 19.9 points for Amen Thompson in the Rockets' matchup against the Lakers tonight, presenting an excellent 9.1% edge against his current prop line of over/under 18.5, which is good enough to tag the Over with a B- grade in our database.
Thompson has been getting an insane amount of run for the Rockets lately. He's played 40+ minutes in back-to-back games, and he's played 39+ minutes in three of his last four.
He's becoming more aggressive as a scorer too, as Thompson enters tonight's game having scored 19+ points in seven of his last eight games, while reaching 20+ points in six of those contests; and getting all the way up to 22+ points in five of them.
Thompson scored 19 points in 41 minutes of action against the Lakers a few days ago — and that was on only 13 field goal attempts. Prior to his latest outing, Thompson had logged 15+ shot attempts in six of his last eight games.
We'll back Amen to have another solid night on the scoreboard against the Lakers tonight.
Pick: Amen Thompson Over 18.5 Points (-105)
