Today's Best Bets
Jaylen Brown o40.5 PRA (-110)| Lucky Rebel
Big surprise, I want to bet on Jaylen Brown. Brown's just been so good this year it's hard to avoid him in another great matchup. Tonight the Boston Celtics face off with the Denver Nuggets and we've got two MVP candidates going head to head tonight.
Brown's averaging 29.2 points per game this year but he's also stuffing the stat sheet in more ways than one. He's averaging a career high 7.0 rebounds per game and even dishing out 4.9 assists per game. Brown's. thriving with the additional usage this year and his shooting percentages haven't taken a hit.
The Nuggets have lost six of their last nine games and a lot of it has to do with this defense. Denver ranks 19th in points allowed, 22nd in defensive rating and it's been worse over their last nine games.
This will be the second time these two teams meet this year, Brown finished with 33 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. He shot 48%, took 29 shot attempts and the Celtics still lost that game.
Tonight's game is a marquee matchup between two MVP candidates and I'm expecting Jaylen Brown to come with that exact energy.
Pat Spencer o22.5 PRA (-120) | Lucky Rebel
Another guy we've bet before, in this exact same matchup; Pat Spencer against the Memphis Grizzlies. You know I love a good narrative and what better narrative is there than a little sibling rivalry.
Pat's going up against his brother tonight, Cam Spencer and he'll once again be starting for the Golden State Warriors. Last time out against the Grizz, Pat finished with 17 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds. He shot 61.5% from the field and his team got the 1-point win.
This will be the fourth time the two brothers will face off, but just the second time Pat's starting. Pat's been shooting the ball pretty terribly since that Grizzlies game, but what better team to bust out of that slump against.
Jabari Smith Jr. o23.5 P/R (-110) | Lucky Rebel
Jabari Smith Jr. is finally heating up and he's got another prime matchup on the docket tonight. Smith's cleared this line in five of his last seven games; averaging 19.3 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. He's shooting 57.8% from the field in that span and 47.6% from deep.
Is this sustainable? Definitely not.
That being said, the Houston Rockets seem to finally be clicking and a big part of that is how good Smith's been. Smith averages 16.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game in Rockets wins. He's 50.3% from the field and over 40% from three in their 34 wins and it's easy to see how important he is to winning.
The Rockets take on the Sacremento Kings tonight and the Kings have been BAD. The Kings rank 28th in points allowed, 29th in opponent effective field goal percentage, 18th in rebounds allowed and 25th in opponent offensive rebound rate.
Smith is averaging 1.4 offensive rebounds per game in his last 10 games and in that same time frame, he leads the team with 3.8 second chance points per game. Sacremento is 27th in second chance points allowed and tonight it feels like Smith could take full advantage.
