Thunder vs. Pistons
Cason Wallace Over 11.5 Points (-115)
By Chris Prince
This certainly isn't the easiest spot against the stout Pistons' defense tonight, but with the Thunder once again missing some big time firepower, this number simply feels too light.
The Thunder will be without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Ajay Mitchell again tonight — and Cason Wallace has really stepped up to help fill the void, as his usage jumps a whopping 7.1% with those three off the floor this season.
Over his last three games, Wallace has taken 46 shots and has scored 20+ points in each of the last two games.
This prop is already being juiced at several books, and I'd expect this number to tick upwards throughout the day, so I'm jumping in early here at 11.5.
Pick: Cason Wallace Over 11.5 Points (-115)
Warriors vs. Grizzlies
Jaylen Wells Over 11.5 Points (-120)
By Chris Prince
The Grizzlies will continue to play short-handed once again tonight, as they'll be without six key pieces in this game, and another listed as questionable.
All of these injuries have solidified a nice role for Jaylen Wells, who has been logging solid minutes and seeing good shot volume of late.
Wells has gone over this number in eight of his last nine games, and he's averaged 15.7 points per game over that 9-game span.
This game features a high point total of 230.5 with a 3.5-point spread. So, I'm expecting a close, competitive contest, which should put Wells in a great spot to put some numbers on the board tonight.
Pick: Jaylen Wells Over 11.5 Points (-120)
Cavaliers vs. Bucks
James Harden Over 7.5 Assists (-145)
By Nick Galaida
Since joining the Cavaliers, James Harden is averaging 8.0 assists and 13.3 potential assists in seven games.
Yesterday’s game against the Knicks was the first time he’s fallen short of eight assists while wearing a Cleveland uniform.
Tonight, he gets a favorable matchup against Milwaukee – a team that ranks 25th in defensive rating since Giannis Antetokounmpo last played.
During that time, the Bucks have been near the league-average in terms of assists allowed to opposing guards.
Harden should have every opportunity to clear this number on Wednesday in a semi-competitive game script.
Pick: James Harden Over 7.5 Assists (-145)
Kings vs. Rockets
Reed Sheppard Over 14.5 Points (-105)
Amen Thompson is out for the Rockets tonight, which means Reed Sheppard should step into the starting lineup and see a major minutes uptick.
In Amen's other absence a couple of weeks ago, Sheppard played 32 minutes as a starter, scoring 16 points on a 23% usage rate against an elite Thunder defense.
Sheppard should see ample opportunity, and tonight's matchup is as good as it gets against a lowly Kings team that owns the 2nd-worst defensive rating in the league.
Pick: Reed Sheppard Over 14.5 Points (-105)
Celtics vs. Nuggets
Sam Hauser Over 9.5 Points (-115)
Action PRO is projecting 11.31 points for Sam Hauser in the Celtics' matchup against the Nuggets tonight, showing a 16.4% edge against his current points prop line of over/under 9.5, which is good enough to give the Over an A- grade in our database.
Hauser is only averaging 9.3 points per game for the Celtics on the season.
However, Hauser's production is always streaky, and the same has been true for him as of late, as he enters tonight's matchup having scored 12+ points in three of his last four games, with two of those performances ringing in at 16 points.
Meanwhile, he's also fallen short of eight points in two of his last five outings.
Hauser can be a little bit hit-or-miss, but this should be a good spot for him against a Nuggets team that ranks 24th in defensive rating and 19th in points allowed per game.
Pick: Sam Hauser Over 9.5 Points (-115)
