Today's Best Bets

Jarrett Allen

Jarrett Allen o14.5 Points (-110) | Lucky Rebel

With a spread this big, betting on Jarrett Allen is probably a mistake.That being said, he's played in four games since returning from injury and his minutes have been limited anyway.

The Cleveland Cavaliers come into tonight's game on the second night of a back to back that includes travel from Cleveland to Memphis. The Cavaliers are also just one game back of New York for the No.3 seed in the Eastern Conference and have a significant advantage when looking at each team's remaining schedule.

Cleveland's looking good here to finish the season. The team's gone 18-6 with James Harden in the lineup, they rank 4th in offensive rating since he joined the team and all Cleveland's best offensive lineups include him. He's been great for the Cavaliers and no one's benefitted more from playing with Harden than Jarrett Allen.

Allen's played 12 games with Harden this year. He's averaging 18.6 points per game in these games, shooting 72.4% from the field and he's only averaging 26 minutes per game in these games. Pre-Harden, Allen was playing closer to 29 minutes per game, but scoring just 14.5 points per game and shooting 65.4% from the field.

Harden makes all his big men look great and it's because of his ability to find them at the rim. He's top five this year in assists at the rim and Allen's one of the best paint scorers in the game. Since Harden's arrival, Allen's averaging the 4th most points in the paint and that's exactly where the Memphis Grizzlies struggle the most.

NAW

Nickeil Alexander-Walker o19.5 Points (-105) | Lucky Rebel

Nickeil Alexander-Walker has gone very much under the radar but he's been phenomenal in his first year with the Atlanta Hawks. He's started 68 of his 75 games with Atlanta and he's averaging a career high 20.6 points per game in his first year as a full time starter.

Alexander-Walker's in is 7th year in the NBA and he's finally been able to carve out a starting role on team headed to the playoffs. He's been the Hawks 2nd leading scorer this year and the team's most consistent 3-point shooter.

Nickeil's shooting 39.4% from beyond the arc this year and tonight he faces a New York Knicks team that ranks 20th in 3s allowed, 20th in opponent 3-point percentage and rank in the bottom-10 for wide open 3-point shots allowed.

Alexander-Walker's also cleared this line in both games against New York this year and in 13 of of his last 16 games overall.

Donovan Clingan

Donovan Clingan o11.5 Rebounds (+105) | Lucky Rebel

Going back to one of my favorite young centers, Donovan Clingan; aka Cling Kong.

Clingan's gone under this line in three straight games but he's played under 25 minutes in two of those three games. One being due to a blowout and the other due to foul trouble.

In Portland's most recent game, Clingan played just 22 minutes due to foul trouble; but still managed 9 rebounds, 3 coming on the offensive glass.

Clingan's cleared this line in three of his last four games against the Nuggets and in all three games where he's played over 22 minutes. In three games against Denver this year, he's averaging jus 22.8 minutes per game but he's grabbing 12.3 rebounds per contest.

Clingan's been elite on the offensive glass and tonight if the Blazers hope to win, they'll need to limit Denvers second chance opportunities and maybe create a few of his own.

You may know me as ‘VSaaauce’. I’ve been a die hard hoops fan my entire life. I’ve been betting on the NBA/NCAAB/NFL/MLB for six years now, each year gaining more and more knowledge about being a profitable handicapper. I’m eager to learn, and eager to pass on everything I’ve gained over the last few years. I started my Twitter page four years ago, and this community makes me so thankful I did. Outside of sports and handicapping, I enjoy traveling, hoopin, a strong espresso and I’m currently studying to obtain my MD. I’m all about the vibes, good vibes only. If that sounds like you, follow me on 'X' @VSaaauce.
