It was a classic Monday, where nothing went right. Tuesdays are usually when we right the ship though, and start the slow build for a profitable week.
We are still a couple of days away from the return of March Madness and the "start" of MLB, so we are "stuck" with the NBA for another couple of days. There are just four games on the NBA schedule tonight. All are between playoff-bound teams, so the small card is actually pretty inviting.
Jalen Williams More Points than CJ McCollum (+114)
I was surprised that McCollum is getting so much respect with this number, especially given the buzz around Williams as a future star. Williams averages 19 ppg which is a little more than McCollum and has five straight games with at least 18 points. I think that the markets may be overrating the fact that McCollum has two 30-point games in the same stretch.
P.J. Washington 12+ Points (+115) Alt Line
The production of Washington has gone down in Dallas, even if he is in a more crucial role. His ppg is just over 10 in Big D, but I like the spot with the Mavericks taking on the Kings. He had 16 points in his last game, busting up a string of single-digit performances. When he was with the Hornets he scored 17 points at Sacramento, earlier this season.
Lu Dort Over 3.5 Rebounds (+114)
You know I am always looking at Dort props and trying to see where there is an advantage to be gained (hopefully I am not being flagged ... too soon?) Anyway, I like this prop because it is just requiring average production from the Thunder's undervalued wing. Tonight is a nice battle against New Orleans which should be a competitive game. He has missed this prop in the last three games with exactly three rebounds in each, so he is right there.
Giannis Antetokoumpo More Rebounds than Anthony Davis (+105)
LeBron is out tonight so this game loses some of its wattage. I like leaning into the Bucks star as the home side is expected to win with ease and I think there is a chance the Lakers shut down Davis as a result. Even if that does not happen and this game plays out, Giannis is never a bad bet to outrebound anyone. He is averaging 11 rpg (to ADs 12) this season.
