Pacers vs. Celtics
Luka Garza Over 11.5 Points + Rebounds (-125)
By Joe Dellera
The Celtics take on the Pacers and I'm targeting Luka Garza in a strong spot.
Garza has locked in a solid role over the last 15 games, averaging 20.7 minutes and putting up 14.9 PR (9.5 points + 5.4 rebounds).
He's been extremely consistent, hitting over 11.5 in 13-of-15 and over 12.5 in 11-of-15 (with the misses right at 12).
Against Indiana specifically, he's posted 15, 19, and 12 PR in prior matchups, showing he can exploit their interior defense.
The Pacers are soft inside and allow plenty of points in the paint + rebounds, while Garza's athleticism, surprising speed, and ability to stretch the floor make him a perfect pick-and-pop threat.
Pick: Luka Garza Over 11.5 Points + Rebounds (-125)
Nets vs. Knicks
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 21.5 Points (-115)
By Joe Dellera
The Knicks held a players' only meeting following their latest loss, and I’m expecting a bit of a bounce back here following a 2-9 skid.
Although the Nets play slow and their defense has been surprisingly effective, it still has its weak points.
While much of the conversation surrounding the Knicks is "What do we do with Karl-Anthony Towns?" I think this is a good buy spot for his points prop.
Towns has scored 28 and 37 points against Brooklyn this season, and has scored 25+ in every game against them over the last few seasons.
His ability to score at all levels presents issues for the Nets.
The Nets have allowed some strong games to bigs lately, so I’ll buy into the narrative a bit here and back KAT to lock in tonight.
