Clippers vs. Rockets
By Joe Dellera
The Rockets face off against the Clippers tonight, in a game that has the potential to be a bit of a lopsided affair.
The Clippers are adjusting to life without both James Harden and Ivica Zubac, which impacts their offensive ceiling as well as their defense.
One player that I think we can take advantage of in this spot is Jabari Smith.
Jabari is averaging 13.6 points per game this season but 17.3 over his last three.
Some of this has come from increased opportunities, as defenses have started to sag off of Amen Thompson.
While the Clippers don’t have the greatest defense, they do have two bigs that are primarily going to be playing drop coverage, which helps run that type of scheme against the Rockets.
Smith's ability to stretch the floor and score from within the mid-range makes him an effective target here.
Jabari has scored 18 and 16 in this matchup this season, and I expect him to continue his success against the Clippers tonight.
Pick: Jabari Smith Over 13.5 Points (-115)

Pacers vs. Knicks
Action PRO is projecting 10.1 points for Landry Shamet in tonight's matchup against the Pacers, presenting a 12.7% edge against his current points prop line of over/under of 8.5, which gives the Over a B+ grade in our database.
Shamet has been quiet in the scoring department in the Knicks' last two games, scoring totals of only three and five points in his last two outings.
However, prior to that, Shamet had scored 14+ points in three straight games, with two of those scoring totals ringing in at 16+ points.
Let's back Shamet to get back on track in tonight's matchup against a Pacers' team that ranks 11th in pace, 21st in defensive rating, and 24th in points allowed per game on the season.
Pick: Landry Shamet Over 8.5 Points (-120)

Mavericks vs. Suns
By Alex Hinton
Devin Booker should continue to shine for the Suns tonight, as he has scored 20 points in six of his last seven games against the Mavericks, and recorded six assists in five of those contests.
Booker is averaging 26.4 points and 7.6 assists in his last seven games against Dallas. He has recorded 30 Points & Assists in five of those games, and in seven of his last 10 games overall.
Pick: Devin Booker 30+ Points & Assists (-135)

Spurs vs. Lakers
Action PRO is projecting 15.5 points for Rui Hachimura in tonight'a matchup against the Spurs, showing a massive 31.4% edge against his current points prop line of over/under 11.5, which gives the Over an A+ grade in our database.
Hachimura's scoring numbers have been a little bit spotty throughout the year, considering his usage rate tends to be dependent on who else is on the floor for the Lakers at any given time.
However, with the Lakers playing in the second half of a back-to-back tonight, it's fair to assume that we will see some key players miss this game, especially considering LeBron James played last night and Luka Doncic's status remains murky after missing yesterday's game with a hamstring injury.
Hachimura has scored 11+ points in eight of his last 10 games, which gives him an excellent floor in this market. Granted, he only hit 12+ points in six of those 10 games, but three of those Overs have come in his latest three outings — scoring totals of 12, 14, and 18 points.
The Lakers draw a tough matchup tonight against a Spurs' team that ranks 3rd in defensive rating and 7th in points allowed per game. However, given the circumstances, we still expect the Lakers to lean on Hachimura enough in this spot to send him over this number.
Pick: Rui Hachimura Over 11.5 Points (-130)
