OG Anunoby has seen a team-leading 4.1% usage rate increase with Jalen Brunson off the floor this season.

Brunson has been downgraded to doubtful tonight.

Indiana ranks dead-last in defensive rating over the past 10 games.

Pick: OG Anunoby Over 17.5 Points (-120)

Miami should have most of its main guys available except Andrew Wiggins.

Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Kel'el Ware are listed as available tonight. Nikola Jovic is probable. Norman Powell is off the injury report entirely.

Bam Adebayo is questionable, which is obviously a big one — but that's probably more notable for Ware and Jovic than it is for Pelle Larsson.

It's a tough matchup against a strong Charlotte defense. Action PRO is projecting Larsson to combine for only 15.5 points + rebounds + assists in tonight's game.

Pick: Pelle Larsson Under 20.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-130) 


Suns vs. Timberwolves

Jaden McDaniels Over 14.5 Points (-125)

By Charlie Wright

Jaden McDaniels has seen a 2.4% usage rate boost with Anthony Edwards off the floor this season. He's averaged 18.8 points in 10 games without Edwards.

McDaniels has been ruined by foul trouble multiple times this month, which will be the main concern here.

He only played just 16 minutes against OKC due to foul issues. He picked up his third foul less than 30 seconds into the second quarter and sat for the rest of the half.

The Thunder are particularly difficult in terms of drawing fouls, but Phoenix has drawn the 8th-fewest fouls per game.

Pick: Jaden McDaniels Over 14.5 Points (-125) 


76ers vs. Nuggets

Adem Bona Over 5.5 Rebounds (-120)

Action PRO is projecting 7.1 rebounds for Adem Bona in the 76ers' matchup against the Nuggets tonight, presenting an excellent 13.3% edge against his current prop line of over/under 5.5, which is good enough to tag the Over with a B+ grade in our database.

The Sixers will be without Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey tonight — which leaves a ton of extra usage to go around for the rest of Philadelphia's supporting cast.

Normally, that would mean an extensive workload for Andre Drummond in the true backup center role. However, as noted by our Senior NBA Analyst Matt Moore on the latest episode of the Buckets Podcast, Drummond tends to have a lot of trouble playing in the Denver altitude because of his asthma.

So, this should actually set up as a ceiling-spot for Bona in terms of playing time and usage.

Pick: Adem Bona Over 5.5 Rebounds (-120)
