The Knicks face off against the Bucks as massive favorites and I’m targeting Andre Drummond. This is a fantastic matchup against the lowly Bucks who are an absolute joke on the glass. They play at a fast Pace and allow the second-most rebounds per game to their opponents. Importantly, Josh Hart is Questionable again today and considering it’s the front end of a back to back for New York with tomorrow’s game being against the much tougher Cleveland Cavaliers, I’d expect Hart to sit again today and then maybe return tomorrow. I like this regardless of Hart but if he’s out this would open up MORE chances for Drummond. Drummond has at least 8 boards in all four of the Knick’s’ double digit wins and they are 15.5 point favorites tonight. I’ll back the big man on the glass.

The Thunder face off against the Portland trailblazers tonight, and what should be an exciting game between two Western conference standouts. The Blazers play at the eighth fastest pace in the league, and this presents a pace up opportunity for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Since Jdub, Chet, and Wallace went down. Mitchell has been fantastic for OKC. He’s averaging 22.1 points per game without them compared to just 11.3 with them. His Usage role in the office has expanded exponentially. The blazers remain weak against pick-and-roll ball handlers and Mitchell is excellent in that role alongside SGA. He also generates contact and should get to the line against this Blazers team who plays physically.
