Celtics vs. Cavaliers
Derrick White Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-130)
By Matt Moore
The Cavaliers are going to take away Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta at the rim.
Even with Tatum back, Derrick White will remain a threat, and if anything, benefit tremendously from the gravity Tatum forces.
The Cavaliers are a bottom-five above-the-break three-point team, and that’s where White feasts.
Pick: Derrick White Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-130)
Knicks vs. Lakers
Jalen Brunson Over 25.5 Points (-120)
By Matt Moore
Jalen Brunson has played nine games against teams that are bottom-10 in allowing mid-range attempts and mid-range FG%, and his hit rate on this prop line is 7-for-9 (77%) in those spots.
His average is only 26.9 though, just slightly above his season-average, so I would not recommend climbing the ladder with alternate lines.
Pick: Jalen Brunson Over 25.5 Points (-120)
Wizards vs. Pelicans
Derik Queen Under 3.5 Assists (-160)
I’m running this one back after an easy win a few days ago.
Derik Queen is down to 2.2 assists on 2.8 potential assists and 23 passes per game since Dejounte Murray returned to the Pelicans' lineup.
He also played just 13 minutes against the Suns.
Pick: Derik Queen Under 3.5 Assists (-160)
Rockets vs. Spurs
Devin Vassell Over 2.5 Assists (+112)
Action PRO is projecting 2.84 assists for Devin Vassell in the Spurs' matchup against the Rockets tonight, showing a decent 7.5% edge against his current prop line of over/under 2.5, which is good enough to tag the Over with a C+ grade in our system.
Vassell has recorded 3+ assists in six of his last eight games, and four of his last five.
He's also recorded 2+ assists in nine of his last 10 outings overall, which gives us a really solid floor for this prop.
We see value in taking Vassell Over 2.5 Assists at plus-money tonight.
Pick: Devin Vassell Over 2.5 Assists (+112)
Hornets vs. Suns
Oso Ighodaro Over 8.5 Points (-120)
Action PRO is projecting 10.46 points for Oso Ighodaro in the Suns' matchup against the Hornets tonight, presenting an excellent 16.1% edge against his current prop line of over/under 8.5, which is strong enough to tag the Over with an A- grade in our database.
Ighodaro has scored 8+ points in eight of his last 10 games, and he's scored 10+ points in three straight entering tonight's contest.
We also see value in backing him to score 10+ points at plus-money in this spot.
Pick: Oso Ighodaro Over 8.5 Points (-120)
