LaMelo Ball OVER 42.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists
LaMelo Ball is one of the best players on the Charlotte Hornets. He’s averaging 23.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game, each are either more than, or similar to his career highs in each metric. The Hornets are facing off against the Spurs tonight, who are on a 13-game losing streak. Ball has hit over 42.5 PRA in three of his last five games and should have a field day against the Spurs tonight.
He’s coming off of a 30-point performance against the Atlanta Hawks and will be hungry to build upon that performance. Bet the over here.
Julius Randle UNDER 10.5 Rebounds
Who could have predicted that the Knicks were going to be good this year? With a record of 32-27, if they keep up this pace, the Knicks will be in the playoffs, largely due to the play of Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson. However, we’re a bit leery about his rebounding total, especially considering he has had 11 or more rebounds in just one of the Knicks' last five games.
Not to mention, Randle has averaged 10 rebounds per game against the Knicks in his career, including 10.6 on the year. Unless this game makes its way into overtime, we’re recommending taking the under on Randle’s rebounding total.
Tyrese Haliburton OVER 2.5 Free Throws Made
Tyrese Haliburton is an excellent free throw shooter. He is averaging 85.9% on all free throws this season, and he continues to contribute in massive ways for this Pacers team, averaging 18.7 points per game in the month of February alone. Tonight, the Pacers face off against the Chicago Bulls, a game that could get chippy.
We’re under the belief that Haliburton will frequent the free throw line tonight. As a result, hitting the over on 2.5 made free throws.
Bam Adebayo UNDER 22.5 Points
Bam Adebayo has struggled against the Nets in his career. In 18 total games, he has averaged 16.4 points per game, including 12 PPG in his last two games against the team. This, coupled with the fact that he is averaging 21.5 PPG on the season, is good enough evidence for us to take his point total under tonight.
Joel Embiid OVER 10 Rebounds
Joel Embiid has been a mainstay for the 76ers organization, a seven-year contributor to the team. This season, Embiid is averaging his most career points per game, and although his rebounding total is down from years past, he continues to be a dominant force on the boards. In his last five games, Embiid has three games with 11 or more rebounds, which, as a standalone statistic, is enough for us to take the over on his rebounds.
The 76ers are playing the Cavaliers tonight, a team that Embiid has 11 or more rebounds against in four of his last six games, including two games with 17 boards.
