Today's Best Bets
Kyle Filipowski o20. P/R (-105)| Lucky Rebel
Jalen Johnson was the Atlanta Hawks' only All-Star this year and he's been on absolute tear this year. Johnson's in his fifth year in the NBA, averaging 23.5 points, 10.6 rebounds and 8.1 assists. He's shooting 49.9% from the field and has shown an ability to stretch the floor with his 3-point shot.
Johnson's ability to score is just one reason he made the All-Star Game this year and just one reason the Hawks' front office has made the decision to build around him. He's been tough on the glass, but he's also shown a heightened ability to find his teammates in good spots.
Johnson's 8.1 assists per game isn't an accident. In his career, Johnson's averaging 6.1 assists per game without Trae Young in the lineup and it's something we saw a ton of both this year and last year. If you go back to just last season, Johnson's played 44 games without Trae and he's averaging 11 rebounds per game and 8.3 assists per game.
The Hawks come into tonight's game on the second night of a back to back, fortunately at home. The Hawks will host the Miami Heat tonight and the Heat present a very rare type of matchup. The Heat rank top 10 in most defensive metrics, outside of points allowed, rebounds allowed and assists allowed. How? It's because they play at the fastest pace in the NBA.
Miami ranks 20th in points allowed, 29th in rebounds allowed and 19th in assists allowed. That being said, they also rank 7th in opponent effective field goal percentage, 4th in defensive rating, 5th in opponent 3-point percentage and 9th in opponent offensive rebound rate.
Tobias Harris o19.5 P/R (-108) | Lucky Rebel
The Monsters of Motor City are wreaking havoc and it's helped Detroit Pistons take over top spot in the Eastern Conference. Detroit has the second best record in the NBA, they rank 2nd in offensive rating, 2nd in defensive rating and have the type of well-rounded roster you want at this point in the season.
Tobias Harris is someone we haven't bet a ton this year but in a matchup where it feels like points are going to come at a premium, I'm going to the vet. Harris is averaging 13.5 points per game this year in addition to 5.1 rebounds per contest.
His shooting percentages have taken a little bit of a dip, shooting 45.2% from the field and just 35% from beyond the arc. At 37 years old, a the decline isn't surprising but it's also why we're getting this line. Harris has cleared this game in 54% of games this year and in all three games he's played this year without Isaiah Stewart.
Without Beef Stew, Harris is averaging 13.7 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. He's had double digit rebounds in two of the three games and finished with 18/6 in that third game. Harris is more heavily utilized with Stewart out of the lineup, taking 13 shot attempts per game in these three games.
If you go back to last year, Harris has cleared this line in 7 of his L10 without Stewart, averaging 13.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.
Cam Spencer o18.5 PRA (-120) | Lucky Rebel
This one doesn't have a long writeup, the Grizzlies are just tanking and have a ton of players out with injuries. Ty Jerome popped up on the injury report this morning with an illness and that's never a good sign on game day. If Jerome does sit, I'm expecting Cam Spencer to see a boost in playing time and usage.
Spencer's also cleared this line in two of his three games against the Kings this year; even scoring 16 and 20 points in their last two meetings. .
