Today's Best Bets
Domantas Sabonis o15.5 A/R (-110) | Lucky Rebel
Domantas Sabonis is finally back for the Sacramento Kings and despite still being on a bit of a minutes restriction, he's looking just as good. In five games this month, Sabonis is averaging just 22.7 minutes per game, but still recording 9.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. He's cleared this line just once since coming back, but he's also now played 25+ minutes in back to back games.
Sabonis' most recent game came against the Detroit Pistons, he played 25 minutes in a blowout, finished with 7 rebounds, 8 assists and didn't touch the floor in the 4th quarter. In the game prior, Sabonis played 31 minutes in a 5-point game, scored 24 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and dished out 6 assists.
New York ranks 20th in opponent effective field goal percentage, 26th in opponent 3-point percentage and 27th in 3s allowed. This line simply feels too low for a guy like Sabonis if he's going to see 30+ minutes tonight. With the trade deadline fast approaching it's my belief that some guys are about to be put on display and Sabonis looks like a prime candidate.
The Kings are looking to sell at the deadline and I'm sure Sabonis would love to play for a real competitor. Look for him to have a big night tonight at Madison Square.
Ryan Rollins o32.5 PRA (-120)| Lucky Rebel
This is a line we're playing purely because both Giannis Antentokoumpo and Kevin Porter Jr. are out of the lineup. In 6 games this year without both Giannis and Porter Jr., Rollins is averaging 24.8 points, 7.8 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game. He's shooting 49.6% from the field in these games, 38.3% from deep and he's cleared this line in 5 of the 6 games.
One of these games happen to be against Philly. He put up 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists; shooting 50% from the field and taking 26 shot attempts in the game. Rollins averages 20.2 field goal attempts per game in these six games and it looks like Doc's given him the green light when Giannis is out.
Depending on the direction the Bucks decide to go, Rollins could be a piece they look to keep and develop; or someone used in a trade to try and keep Giannis in Milwaukee. Rollins has been great in his first year as a full time starter, averaging 16.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game; all career highs.
Philly ranks 16th in points allowed 22nd in rebounds allowed and 27th in assists allowed. Rollins is averaging 31.6 minutes per game this year and with Philly on the 2nd night of a back to back, I think Rollins can take advantage.
Yves Missi o6.5 Rebounds (+110) | Lucky Rebel
This is another guy I think could be moved at the deadline. With so many teams in need of a center this year, Yves Missi presents a promising prospect. Missi is just 21 years old, on a team friendly contract and has been one of the best offensive rebounding bigs in the NBA.
Missi currently ranks 10th in offensive rebound rate, averaging 3.1 offensive rebounds per game and ranking 13th in offensive rebounds per game (min. 20 games). The Thunder rank 30th in opponent offensive rebounds allowed in their last 10 games and the biggest reason why is the loss of Isaiah Hartenstein.
Since Hartenstein went down, the Thunder are giving up 14.2 offensive rebounds per game and Missi is New Orlean's leading offensive rebounder. He's cleared this line in back to back games and in 3 of his last 5 against the Thunder. With the Thunder's struggles on the offensive glass and the fact Missi might be one of the few Pelicans on the move, this feels like a great spot for the young center to have a big game.
John Collins o20.5 P/R(-110) | Lucky Rebel
This play is purely narrative driven. Not only is this John Collins former team, but John Collins was born just outside of Salt Lake City. John's father was in the Navy so they moved around a lot, but he was born right here in Utah.
Collins also spent two seasons with the Jazz, starting 97 total games for the team and even averaging 19/8 for them last year. Despite the big numbers last year, Collins' time with the Jazz didn't end on the best terms. He was regularly held out of games. He had his minutes restricted and even given injury designations when fully healthy; all in the pursuit of a better draft position.
Utah would finish with the worst record in the NBA, still pick 5th in the draft and now Collins in providing big minutes to a resurgent Clippers team. In 33 starts this year, Collins is averaging 13.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. Over his last 10, that's jumped to 16.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.
In two games against the Jazz, he's finished with 14/7 and 8/11; only playing 20 minutes in the most recent game. Collins is now averaging 30.4 minutes per game in his last 10 games and Utah's defense is the perfect matchup.
