The OKC Thunder continue to impress with Jalen Williams rekindling his early season form of late and putting up some big numbers the last few games.
Best Bet
OKC Thunder @ Golden State Warriors (2:10pm)
Quite a low points line for OKC’s ‘Mr Fix It’ ahead of their clash with the Warriors.
Jalen Williams is covering 18.5 points in 68% of games this season, and appears to have recovered from a minor slump the start of January.
Averaging 22.8 points from his last nine games, Williams has covered 18.5 points in eight of those with his only miss in the Thunder’s demolition of the Wizards where he scored 17 points in just 21 minutes. He’s scored 20+ in his last three games including 33 against Dallas, and there’s no reason why we won’t see another 20+ game in this.
SGM – Williams Over 18.5 Points / SGA 30+ Points / Jackson-Davis Under 6.5 Rebounds = $4.33
Next Best
Dallas Mavericks @ New Orleans Pelicans (12:10pm)
Big line against the Wizards as our best bet for Tuesday, with Gafford producing 18 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks in just 24 minutes on court in a blowout win.
The Mavericks big man gets a great look once again, this time against the Pelicans, who are the easiest team for centres to rebound against over the last month at 18% above average.
In his last seven games since the Lively injury, Gafford averages 18.4 points and 10.4 rebounds, which includes two OKC games where he played limited minutes due to foul trouble. Producing 12+ rebounds in four of those seven games, I think we could see another monster line by Gafford.
SGM – Gafford Double Double / Murray 15+ Points / Williamson 6+ Rebounds = $3.50
Value Bet
Brooklyn Nets @ Charlotte Hornets (11:10am)
Missed by one point as our value bet on Tuesday scoring 19 points in just 29 minutes against the Kings.
Going back to the well here though against a completely depleted Charlotte Hornets outfit, and although they generally defend point guards quite well, this is not a Charlotte team with Ball, Green and Miller – instead they’ll be playing Micic, Smith Jr and Okogie.
As for the Nets, once again there will be no Thomas or Johnson so the scoring will be driven by DLo – he’ll just need to do it in less than 30 minutes as Brooklyn has zero intention of winning this match, but I still give him a huge chance here.
SGM – Russell 15+ Points / Bridges 4+ Assists / Russell 6+ Assists = $3.30
