Kings vs. Mavericks
Marvin Bagley Over 8.5 Rebounds (-120)
Marvin Bagley could be in line for significant playing time with Daniel Gafford doubtful. He's already carved out a solid role as the backup center.
Bagley has grabbed 8.8 rebounds on 14.8 rebound chances in his six games with Dallas. He's done that on just 23.1 minutes per game.
Sacramento is bottom-5 in overall rebounding rate and rebounds allowed to centers.
Pick: Marvin Bagley Over 8.5 Rebounds (-120)
Lakers vs. Suns
Collin Gillespie Over 15.5 Points (-105)
Action PRO is projecting 18.71 points for Collin Gillespie in the Suns' matchup against the Lakers tonight, showing a massive 25.4% edge against his current points prop line of over/under 15.5, which is strong enough to give the Over an A+ grade in our database.
Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks have been banged up for the Suns the last few games, and it has resulted in Gillespie scoring 15+ points in three straight contests.
Booker and Brooks will once again miss tonight's game.
So, this should be another good spot for Gillespie to shine, as the Suns face a Lakers team that ranks 24th in defensive rating and 19th in points allowed per game.
Pick: Collin Gillespie Over 15.5 Points (-105)
Timberwolves vs. Clippers
Bennedict Mathurin Over 2.5 Assists (-135)
Action PRO is projecting 2.06 assists for Bennedict Mathurin in the Clippers' matchup against the Timberwolves tonight, presenting a solid 8.5% edge against his current assists prop line of over/under 2.5, which is good enough to give the Over a B- grade in our database.
Mathurin has played five games for this Clippers this season, and in those five games, he's recorded 2+ assists in every single one of them, which gives us a really solid floor for this prop.
He's cleared this line (2.5) in four of five games since joining the team, while reaching 4+ assists in three of those contests.
Here are his assist totals since joining the Clippers:
- 2/10 @ HOU: 4
- 2/11 @ HOU: 3
- 2/19 vs DEN: 4
- 2/20 @ LAL: 2
- 2/22 vs ORL: 5
We'll lock in our best bet at Over 2.5 assists (-135). However, you could also consider sprinkling on 4+ Assists (+160) at DraftKings.
Pick: Bennedict Mathurin Over 2.5 Assists (-135)
