Pistons vs. Hornets
Grant Williams Under 6.5 Points (-128)
I'm going back to the Grant Williams fade after cashing in against the Rockets.
Williams went 0-for-3 from the field in that game, finishing with two points.
He came back with 11 points last game against the Hawks. In that game, Williams made all four of his shots, including 2-for-2 from 3-point range. He played only 16 minutes.
The 6.5 line is an important distinction for a player who has taken a career-high 71.7% of his shots from beyond the arc. I'd be much less interested in the 5.5 line.
Detroit has held opponents to the 4th-lowest 3-point field goal percentage.
The Pistons' size should keep Williams from seeing extra run as the small-ball center.
Pick: Grant Williams Under 6.5 Points (-128)
Cavaliers vs. Nuggets
James Harden Over 8.5 Assists (+105)
By Joe Dellera
The Cavaliers face off against the Nuggets for a Monday night showdown tonight.
The Cavaliers made a huge splash at the trade deadline when they acquired James Harden from the Clippers.
I expect Harden to contribute with a sizable role in this offense.
In Harden’s debut for the Cavaliers, he dished out eight dimes and was able to take some of the table setting duties off of Donovan Mitchell’s plate.
Harden should have success here against a Nuggets team that primarily relies on drop coverage, which is exploitable for his passing skill, especially with the opportunity to lob to Jarrett Allen.
Even though he still needs to get acclimated to a new role with his new team, the addition of Harden’s passing prowess should still be immediately evident.
Pick: James Harden Over 8.5 Assists (+105)
Bucks vs. Magic
Tristan da Silva Under 10.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-110)
Orlando has a clean injury report for what feels like the first time all season.
Franz Wagner will be on a minutes limit, but he'll be back in the lineup tonight after missing all but two games since December 7.
Da Silva will have a tough time earning significant playing time with everyone healthy.
He's averaged 5.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 15 games playing less than 20 minutes.
Pick: Tristan da Silva Under 10.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-110)
Jazz vs. Heat
Jaime Jaquez Over 26.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-124)
Pelle Larson is hurt, and Norm Powell left yesterday's game against the Wizards with lower back tightness. It would seem rather unlikely he plays on a back-to-back here, and Tyler Herro is still out.
That combination should thrust a huge burden of offense onto Jaime Jaquez Jr., and the matchup against the Jazz defense is elite.
He shot the ball horribly yesterday, but he had a team-high 29% usage rate, and Powell played most of that game.
Pick: Jaime Jaquez Over 26.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-124)
Kings vs. Pelicans
Nique Clifford Over 13.5 Points (-120)
The Kings will be without Zach LaVine, Malik Monk, De'Andre Hunter, and possibly Domantas Sabonis (questionable) tonight.
We saw this situation play out last game, and Nique Clifford played 40 minutes and put up 30 points on a 22.5% usage rate.
Even before that explosion, the rookie had gone over this number in three of his last four games.
Tonight's matchup against the Pelicans' defense is a juicy spot for him to continue to post big numbers in the absence of so many critical Kings players.
Pick: Nique Clifford Over 13.5 Points (-120)
Thunder vs. Lakers
Austin Reaves Over 4.5 Assists (+110)
Austin Reaves' minutes should continue to grow as he works his way back from injury, and his role will be massive in the short term with Luka Doncic on the mend from a hamstring injury.
Reaves racked up eight assists in the last game that he played with Luka sidelined, and the high level of difficulty that comes with a matchup against the Thunder appears to be slightly muted given their injury situation.
Pick: Austin Reaves Over 4.5 Assists (+110)
