Cleveland Cavaliers @ Portland Trail Blazers (1:10pm)
One of the more surprising things for Portland this season has been Avdija’s emergence, it would seem the Blazers made the right call, when trading for him from Washington.
Deni has become a focal point for the Blazers and is probably their first or second option behind Simons. He can contribute in many ways, as we have seen with 4 double doubles and one triple double in his last ten games. The majority of this line needs to be covered by points and I can see him having 20+.
Last time he played the Cavs, he dominated with a 30-point triple double, the Blazers pushed the Cavs, without Donovan Mitchell, to overtime and we could see a repeat with Mitchell already ruled out for this one.
SGM: Avdija Over 32.5 PRA/ Strus 10+ Points/ Sharpe 15+ Points = $3.60
Next Best
Golden State Warriors @ Miami Heat (10:30am)
Grab your popcorn and get ready! This game may have a little added animosity with Jimmy talking smack about ‘heat culture’ this week.
It’s no secret Butler did not like the way things finished up in Miami, with him and Pat Riley clearly butting heads. Sitting out games and then in club suspensions, it was a bit of a circus. We know Jimmy can be petty, expect this one to get a bit chippy.
Butler has found form just at the right time for this one, averaging 22, 8 and 9 over his last four games. Do we dare to dream? Triple Double $12…
SGM: Butler Over 33.5 PRA/ Podziemski 10+ Points/ Moody 10+ Points = $3.75
Value Bet
Atlanta Hawks @ Houston Rockets (11:00am)
This seasons number one draft pick has been less than spectacular, he sits third currently for ROTY award and he won’t win it.
Over his last 5 games he has shown glimpses and the big Frenchman has boosted his points average to 17.6 over that span. His minutes have only slightly increased so it’s not based on playing time, but his shooting numbers and percentages have seen a nice spike.
Houston is a tough match up defensively but with his current confidence we could easily see 15+ from Zach.
SGM: Risacher 15+ Points/ Brooks 15+ Points/ Levert 4+ Assists = $9.50
Wednesday NBA Multi
Pistons/ Grizzlies/ Cavs = $2.07
