Today's Best Bets
Michael Porter Jr. 24.5 Points (+108) | Lucky Rebel
This one's a little chalk, but Michael Porter Jr. has just been that good. Porter's averaging a career high 25.6 points per game this year while seeing the highes usage rate of his career. In his last two games, Porter's taken a combined 52 shot attempts, shooting 53.8% from the field and over 50% from beyond the arc.
The Lakers on the other side just haven't been good defensively. Los Angeles ranks 28th in opponent effective field goal percentage, 26th in opponent 3-point percentage and tonight they're playing the last game of an 8-game road trip. These road trips get tough, even tougher when you're out on the opposite coast.
The Lakers have played five straight games on the East Coast now and I'm guessing most guys are itching to get home. The Nets are coming home from a 5-game road trip of their own, but Porter Jr. hasn't played since Thursday. He put up 38 points on his former employer, the Denver Nuggets. He shot 46% from the field and hit 7 3s in the process.
Porter Jr. has always played the Lakers well, averaging 15.8 points per game in 28 total matchups; shooting 50.5% from the field and 41.4% from beyond the arc. All of these games came with the Denver Nuggets, back when Porter Jr. saw just half his current usage.
He's rested, he's playing the Lakers and he might be on the move soon. Feels like a recipe for a big Michael Porter Jr. game.
Dillon Brooks o22.5 Points (-102)| Lucky Rebel
I've talked about Dillon Brooks a ton this year. He's averaging a career high in points this year and he's doing it at the age of 30. Brooks' is averaging 21.1 points per game this year, shooting 44.6% from the field and 36% from beyond the arc. He's cleared this line in our of the team's last five games and just scored 22 in a blowout loss to the Clippers.
The Suns will be without Devin Booker once again tonight and even with Jalen Green possibly back, it's doubtful he plays longer than 23/24 minutes tonight.
My reasoning is simple. Dillon Brooks is having one of his best seasons yet and he's helped position the Suns in a playoff spot. He's played at a high level despite injuries to his teammates and he's given his team a chance to win every single night.
In his head, he's an All-Star. I wouldn't say Brooks' was exactly 'snubbed' but with Deni Avdija on the opposite side, I wouldn't be surprised to see a little extra pep in his step tonight.
Jusuf Nurkić o16.5 A/R (-108) | Lucky Rebel
The Utah Jazz have 8 total players available for tonight game. That's not a typo. The Jazz traded for Jaren Jackson Jr. today and in the process lost Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks and Georges Niang. They also gave up 3 1st round draft picks but that's a conversation for another time.
Nurkic has 14 rebounds in his last game but still failed to clear this line. Tonight he faces a Pacers team missing four of their five starters, giving up 118.4 points per game (25th) and ranked 28th in rebounds allowed. Indiana's been bad and I'm here to take advantage.
Ryan Rollins o12.5 A/R (-120) | Lucky Rebel
Ryan Rollins is a name I've been talking about since the beginning of the year and now with both Giannis out and Porter Jr. out; Rollins has been thriving. Rollins has played 35+ minutes in 3 of his last 4 games and is leading the team in usage rate during this short span.
Tonight the Bucks will face off with a Chicago Bulls team that just traded their starting center and could be without their backup in Jalen Smith. The Bulls are also playing at a top-10 pace this year but have been abysmal on the defensive side of the ball.
Chicago ranks 27th in assists allowed this year, 26th in points allowed, 23rd in opponent 3-point percentage and 27th in opponent points in the paint. They've done a poor job defending and with the way Rollins has been playing, I love the value we're getting.
