Suns vs. Thunder
By Joe Dellera
The Thunder face off against the Suns once again in NBA Cup action, and I expect Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to lead the charge in tonight's game.
SGA has been an absolute nightmare for Phoenix to defend.
Across the last few seasons, he has scored 35+ in four of five games against the Suns, which includes a 37-point performance against Phoenix in the group stage.
I like adding the rebounds here because if there’s any game where Shai may show a little bit of extra effort, it’s this one after they lost in the Cup Final last season.
SGA has cleared this mark in three of four games without Hartenstein this season and in 8-of-14 overall.
Pick: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 35.5 Points + Rebounds (-115)
Spurs vs. Lakers
By Kyle Murray
Vassell projects to go under this number in tonight's matchup against the Lakers.
I am a bit worried about his role getting squeezed from a minutes and usage standpoint, as there are just so many mouths to feed for the Spurs, especially with Stephon Castle back and Dylan Harper taking on a larger role.
As a result, I have Vassell projected for just 14.2 points and three rebounds in this spot.
Pick: Devin Vassell Under 18.5 Points + Rebounds (-125)
Suns vs. Thunder
By Kyle Murray
Williams is coming off of a strong performance, as he put up 22 points and nine rebounds against the Timberwolves last time out.
He now gets a matchup against the Thunder that I actually think is sneaky-good for him, as the Thunder's one weakness has been their ability to rebound, and Williams should be able to take advantage of that, especially with Isaiah Hartenstein out.
I project Williams for 11.8 points and 8.7 rebounds in tonight's game.
Pick: Mark Williams Over 18.5 Points + Rebounds (-110)
Spurs vs. Lakers
By Kyle Murray
My NBA player prop model projects to have value on Harper's over at 15.5 points + assists.
My model projects a 67.5% win rate, which implies an expected 3.53% edge.
