Toronto’s Immanuel Quickley put up 22 points and four assists in his earlier matchup with Denver this season. And he didn’t shoot well. This should be a high-scoring, competitive game. Look for Quickley to play about 35 minutes and clear this prop total.
Russell Westbrook grabbed 30 rebounds over a three-game stretch until collecting only one board Tuesday against the Spurs. He should get back on track Thursday; the depleted 76ers are allowing a league-high 57.7 rebounds per game over their last three outings. I love taking a shot at six rebounds at plus money.
Quentin Grimes played just 26 minutes in Tuesday's blowout loss at Denver, scoring 12 points. Look for him to get back to his productive ways Thursday at Sacramento. This figures to be a tight game, so I'm expecting Grimes to play about 35 minutes. Philly remains without Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre and Paul George, with Joel Embiid listed as doubtful. The Kings own the third-worst defensive rating. Look for Grimes to be aggressive from the field and in getting to the foul line.
Dyson Daniels does it all for the surging Hawks. He has cleared this prop total in seven of his last nine games. On March 10 at home vs. Dallas, Daniels posted 14 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in 36 minutes. This month he's averaging 26.7 points-assists-rebounds despite playing under 30 minutes twice. Look for another big game for Daniels in a great matchup.
Without Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Joel Embiid and Kelly Oubre, the 76ers are relying heavily on Quentin Grimes. He's taken 22 shots each of the past two games and has cleared this prop total in four of his last six. Expect another 35-plus minutes from Grimes in a game with a total of 236.5.
James Harden and the rest of the Cavs were terrible in a home loss to Dallas on Sunday, the veteran finishing with 13 points and seven assists. This should be a huge bounceback game for Harden and Cleveland's offense. Milwaukee has allowed 122-plus points in four of its last five games and owns the NBA's fifth-worst defensive rating. The Bucks give up the 8th-most points and 4th-most assists to opposing point guards.
Paolo Banchero has cleared this prop total in four straight and in nine of his last 11 games. While this is the second night of a back-to-back, Banchero played a below-average 33 minutes Monday in Atlanta. Over the past three games, OKC is giving up 60.3 rebounds per game (2nd-most). I would also play this Over 8.5 at plus money.
Kawhi Leonard rolled his ankle last time out and is doubtful. The Spurs enter on a 17-2 SU heater. In that span they have covered all but five times. Two of the non-covers were losses to the Nuggets and Knicks. Another was a 17-point win over Sacramento when San Antonio was laying 18.5. And another was a 116-112 home win over the Clippers, in which San Antonio erased a 25-point, second-half deficit. Leonard scored 30 in that defeat. The Spurs own the third-best ATS margin on the road (plus 4.0), behind only Charlotte and Boston.
Jerami Grant is averaging 32 minutes this month. He's scoring 18.4 points per game on 51.2 percent shooting. He has cleared this prop total in nine of his last 11 games. On Monday, he faces a tanking Nets team in a game Portland wants to win. The Blazers sit a half-game back of Golden State for the West's No. 9 seed, 2.5 games back of the Clippers for the No. 8 seed. Look for Grant to score 20-plus points.
Both teams are red-hot. The Hawks have won nine in a row and boast a plus 12.8 net rating over their last 12 games (1-1). They won and covered each of the early-season meetings with Orlando. While the Magic have won seven straight, they likely will struggle to be efficient against Atlanta's versatile defenders. Back the surging Hawks to improve to 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games.
Jazz forward Cody Williams has played 36-plus minutes in five straight games. This is a great matchup against the Kings, who rank 28th in defensive rating. Look for another heavy workload as Williams goes Over.
Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging 21.1 points and 13 rebounds this month. He's facing a Warriors team missing Draymond Green, Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis among others. Center Quinten Post (ankle) is questionable. This prop bet could fall victim to a blowout, but I like KAT to clear this number even if his minutes land in the high 20s rather than the 30s.
In this same matchup Friday in Dallas, Evan Mobley scored 29 points on 12-of-15 shooting. Jarrett Allen remains out, so Mobley should be the primary interior scorer. Mavs center Daniel Gafford is doubtful after resting Friday. It all sets up for another big game for Mobley, who has averaged 20.6 points over his last seven.
Darius Garland was rested on the first night of a back-to-back Friday. He should be all-systems-go for Saturday's home game against the lowly Kings, who rank third-worst in defensive rating. Garland has scored 20-plus points in three straight games and six of the past eight. Go Over.
Dejounte Murray missed most of the season recovering from an Achilles injury. He has played seven games now and is coming off a season-high 31 minutes. Murray has cleared this prop total in three of his last six games. With his minutes increasing and with the Pelicans playing at the NBA's fifth-fastest pace over the past 10 games, Murray has a great chance to record six-plus assists.
