Happy Saturday. We've got a jam packed day full of sports. The College Football Playoffs are underway and we've got a huge hockey slate to boot. We've got two divisional battles in the NFL and gorgeous looking NBA slate to boot.
Take a second, take a deep breath; it's going to be a great day. Let's kick it off with my favorite NBA props tonight.
For additional information on picks, props, money lines and more on today's slate, take a look at our NBA Picks Page or our NBA Odds Page, here.
Dillon Brooks o18.5 Points (-110) | Lucky Rebel
After he cashed us out two days ago, it feels like I've gotta go right back. Brooks is averaging 21.7 points per game this year, shooting 44.8% from the field and 32.2% from beyond the arc.
Brooks is seeing a career high usage rate as this team's #2 scoring option and he's been up to the task. The Suns had lost five of their last eight games before getting the win against Golden State on Thursday. Tonight the Suns head to the Bay to take on the Warriors once again and I just can't ignore the volume Brooks' has seen this year.
Brooks scored 24 points on 23 shot attempts in the team's win, shooting 43.5% from the field and 44.4% from beyond the arc. He played 33 minutes and despite the poor shooting night, helped his team to a big win.
Brooks has also been a lot better with Booker in the lineup. He's averaging 19.0 points per game with Booker out of the lineup but 22.0 points per game with him in the lineup. His presence not only keeps the team in games but it's just also lead to more open shots.
Lebron James o35.5 PRA (-112) | Lucky Rebel
Lebron James is back on the court and even in Year 23, he looks great. Bron's averagin 18.6 points per game this year to go along with 7.5 assist and 5.8 rebounds per game. He's shooting 469% from the field and an abysmal 26.1% from deep. Lebron's seeing a big decline in usage this year, mainly because he's playing alongside Luka Dončić.
Bron's still managed to play well and in the absence of Austin Reaves, he's had to step up in more ways than one. In two games without Reaves this year, Lebron's averaing 27.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game. He's scored 26+ in both games and took 17 shots in each of the two games.
Lebron's usage rate is sitting at 24.1% on the year but in the two games without AR15, we've seen it jump 31.3% with Lebron scoring 30.3% of the team's points and dishing out nearly 40% of the team's assists. This is an inter-city rivalry and one Lebron's always excelled in.
James has cleared this line in four of his last five games against the Clippers, including the one game this year. He finished with 25/6/6 just four weeks ago and this was with Reaves still in the lineup.
Duncan Robinson o2.5 3s (+110) | Lucky Rebel
This one might seem a little strange but Duncan Robinson has been a great addition for the Pistons. After the unfortunate departure of Malik Beasley, it looked like the Pistons were going to be missing a big presence on the perimeter going into this year. Robinson hasn't completely filled the void left behind by Malik but he's doing a pretty good job.
Robinson's averaging 11.9 points per game this year, shooting 43.2% from the field and 39.2% from the perimeter. The reason we see Robinson shoot in the low 40s is because nearly 80% of his shot volume is coming from behind the 3-point line. Robinson's taking 9.1 shot attempts per game this year with 7.2 of those coming from three.
Robinson's been great at home this year and just like years prior with Miami, he feeds off the home crowd. He's averaging 12.8 points per game at home this year and his 3-point shooting jumps to 42.9%. Robinson's averaging 3.2 3s made per game on their home floor and he's hit this line in 9 of his last 10 home games.
The Hornets rank 28th in opponent 3-point percentage and tonight I'm expecting Robinson to make it main.
