Spurs vs. Pistons
Jalen Duren Over 16.5 Points (-125)
Action PRO is projecting 18.52 points for Jalen Duren in the Pistons' matchup against the Spurs tonight, presenting an 11.4% edge against his current points prop line of over/under 16.5, which is good enough to give the Over an A- grade in our database.
Duren is on a bit of a heater right now. He's averaging 17.8 points per game on the season. However, he enters tonight's matchup having scored 18+ points in six of his last nine outings, while scoring 21+ points in four of those contests and 23+ points in two of them.
The Spurs are a tough matchup, ranked 3rd in defensive rating and 8th in points allowed per game, especially with Victor Wembanyama standing opposite of him down low in this spot.
However, we still think there's a good chance Duren clears this line tonight despite the difficult matchup.
Pick: Jalen Duren Over 16.5 Points (-125)
Kings vs. Grizzlies
DeMar DeRozan Over 15.5 Points (-120)
Action PRO is projecting 19.2 points for DeMar DeRozan in the Kings' matchup against the Grizzlies tonight, showing a massive 24.8% edge against his current points prop line of over/under 15.5, which is good enough to give the Over an A+ grade in our database.
DeRozan's production has been a little bit spotty as of late. He's scored 20+ points in five of his last 10 games, while also falling short of 10 points in three of those contests.
Overall though, DeRozan has still managed to hit 13+ points in seven of his last 10 games, giving him a solid floor in the scoring department — and this should be a good spot for him against a Grizzlies team that ranks 6th in pace 17th in defensive rating and 22nd in points allowed.
Pick: DeMar DeRozan Over 15.5 Points (-120)
Jazz vs. Rockets
Clint Capela Under 10.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-115)
This is a playing-time fade.
Clint Capela has been in the low-teens for minutes the majority of the season. RotoGrinders has him projected at 12 tonight, and I’m in line with that number. The floor is below 10.
There’s blowout potential here, but garbage time is usually Jeff Green time.
Pick: Clint Capela Under 10.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-115)
