Rockets vs. Wizards
Reed Sheppard Over 16.5 Points (-105)
Jabari Smith Jr. will again be out for the Rockets in tonight's matchup against the Wizards, which will give another start to Reed Sheppard.
Sheppard has been scoring at a high level since being in his elevated role, averaging 19.3 points per game on just shy of 14 field goal attempts per game, with 78% of those attempts coming from three-point range.
He still got up to 32 minutes in their blowout win in a similar spot against the Kings last week, and the Wizards are a similar level of terrible, with an almost identical defensive rating as the Kings that is at the bottom of the league.
Pick: Reed Sheppard Over 16.5 Points (-105)
Celtics vs. Bucks
Baylor Scheierman Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-125)
Baylor Scheierman has been a starter for about a month now for the Celtics, and he's really settled into his role nicely.
He's averaging 8.5 points per game over the last month (started 9-of-10 games in that stretch), and the Celtics are on the second night of a back-to-back here against a bottom-dwelling Bucks team without Giannis.
Nearly all of Scheierman's field goal attempts come from beyond the three-point line, and it is always possible the Celtics rest someone like Jaylen Brown in these spots.
I project Scheierman projects over this number regardless of who plays, especially against a Bucks team that has allowed the 4th-most three-point attempts per game on the season.
Pick: Baylor Scheierman Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-125)
Nuggets vs. Jazz
Isaiah Collier Over 12.5 Points (-120)
Action PRO is projecting 14.73 points for Isaiah Collier in Utah's matchup against the Nuggets tonight, providing us with an excellent 16.6% edge against his current prop line of over/under 12.5, which is strong enough to tag the Over with an A- grade in our database.
The Jazz are officially in tank-mode at this point of the season. However, there's still plenty of value to capture in the prop market.
Collier has scored 15+ points in seven of his last 10 games, while reaching 20+ points in four of those contests; nearly half of them during that span.
This should be a good spot for Collier to perform in tonight's matchup against a Nuggets' team that is playing on the second half of a back-to-back, while also ranking 21st in defensive rating and 19th in points allowed per game.
You could also consider climbing the ladder and sprinkle Collier 15+ Points (+150) or 20+ Points (+500) at DraftKings.
Pick: Isaiah Collier Over 12.5 Points (-120)
Clippers vs. Warriors
Draymond Green Under 8.5 Points (-110)
By Joe Dellera
The Warriors just received news that they will be without Steph Curry for another 10 days.
When Curry is off the floor, it dramatically impacts Draymond Green’s effectiveness.
Over the last few seasons, when Draymond has played without Steph, he only averages 7.5 points per game, and he’s failed to clear 8.5 points 16-of-29 games. His role in the offense simply stagnates.
Steve Kerr even had some wild comments after his -30 plus/minus in 24 minutes last game out.
Kerr: “It’s not easy for him (Draymond) right now, playing without Jimmy, without Steph. But I’m really impressed with the way he’s hanging in there and continuing to fight.”
He expanded on the quote about how Horford does different things for this team than Draymond does.
Draymond’s minutes and scoring have been sporadic.
He is not always looking to score either, and without the gravity of Steph or Butler, it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to shake loose at all.
Pick: Draymond Green Under 8.5 Points (-110)
