Kenneth Walker will face the leagues best run defense. ..

DeAndre Ayton has always been on talent however his effort and attitude leave a lot to be desired. This season has been a microcosm for Aytons career as it’s been filled with highs, lows, and everything in between, while Ayton currently find himself in a serious funk. This number is simply too low for a player capable of scoring 20+ points whenever he is engaged, in an offense featuring two of the most brilliant playmakers in the league, while Ayton routinely logs 30+ minutes.

Andrew Nembhard has been playing very good basketball for a Pacers team that has been playing much better as of late after a disastrous start to their season. Nembhard has served as their primary playmaker and is averaging 9 APG, in addition to 4 RPG in the month of January, while clearing this line in 12 of his last 14 appearances.

Six year veteran Saddiq Bey is enjoying his best season yet and is averaging a career best 16.5 PPG culminating in Bey scoring 20+ in 5/6 games. With that being said, Bey appears to be a regression candidate and he has been shooting a blistering 50% from three on 42 attempts over that six game sample. Bey is a career 35% shooter and he is at best the third scoring option on the Pelicans, meaning his volume could dwindle. I also like the fact they’re facing a Hornets team that plays slow coupled with being 6.5 point underdogs which provides some blowout potential.

We’re getting a sizable discount on this scoring line for Karl Anthony Towns. He will face a Lakers team that has suspect interior defense and has been vulnerable to opposing Centers. This game projects to be competitive and I think KAT bounces back with a solid scoring performance.

Naji Marshall is returning to the lineup after a brief absence that saw him miss just 1 game. Marshall has proven to be a good player capable of taking on a high usage role with above average efficiency. We’re getting a discount on this line and I also like his combo lines as well if you don’t have access to 15.5 points.

This is a large line for De’Anthony Melton considering his role, usage, and playing time for the Warriors. It’s also a bit inflated due to having eclipsed this in three consecutive games. He’s playing against one of the top perimeter defenses in the league and this line typically hovers around 10.5 to 11.5.

This is a big line for Jonas Valanciunas who is set to see an expanded role with the Nuggets kissing both Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon in their frontcourt. Valanciunas hasn’t been playing big minutes and at this stage of his career, a lot would have to go right. In a game that’s projected to be pace down and feature fewer possessions, this looks like a natural slot to fade the lumbering big man.

I am getting this line out quickly as it is currently on the move. We’re getting a sizable discount on this combination line for Domantas Sabonis who should see his usual minute allocation. He is capable of clearing this line in one half.

Saddiq Bey is coming off a massive scoring performance where he drained 6 threes in the Pelicans last game against Memphis. I expect him to cool down versus San Antonio in a game with blowout potential coupled with a healthy Herbert Jones back in the lineup which could potentially lead to fewer minutes for Bey.

Kenneth Walker will be carrying the load for the Seahawks this Sunday in the NFC, however this is a huge combination line for the veteran RB. While Walker should see some additional touches, he’s facing a stout Rams run defense that finished 6th in Success Rate and 12th in EPA allowed per rush. I’ve been impressed with the Rams run defense in the playoffs.

Jusuf Nurkic has been playing great basketball for the Utah Jazz and they’re running a lot of offense through the talented big man. That being said, this is a massive combo line for Nurkic.

Trey Murphy Jr. continues to prove he’s one of the most underrated players in the NBA while averaging a gaudy 28 PPG in the month of January. Murphy is a matchup nightmare and has a similar offensive game to Kevin Durant in his ability to get his shot off versus any anyone on the court. In a game that projects to be competitive this looks like a good spot to back the uber talented veteran.

Cooper Flagg has had an extremely impressive rookie campaign while displaying a versatile skillset and on court maturity few rookies possess. I like isolating his RA line considering how much the ball is in his hands and also because his playmaking has really begun to develop. In what projects to be a competitive game he possesses double digit upside in both categories and I have a significant edge on my projections here as well.

This is a big combo line for Washington who has been largely absent from the Dallas lineup in the month of January. Dallas has no shortage of capable scorers and high usage players so it’s not a given that Washington is going to get a lot of shots here either.
