Today's Best Bets
Kevin Durant o24.5 Points (-115)| Lucky Rebel
Who relies more on a 37-year old Kevin Durant; the Houston Rockets offense or me and my bankroll? Durant's been great in his first year for the Rockets and he's probably the biggest reason this team sits third in the Western Conference.
Durant's averaging 26.1 points per game at the age of 37 and he's still doing it efficiently. KD's shooting 51.3% from the field, 40.7% from beyond the arc and 88.7% from the free throw line. The crazy thing is that Durant's been even better on the road and on the second night of a back to back.
On the road this year, Durant's averaging 27.9 points per game. He's shooting 53.8% from the field and he's cleared this line 68% of their road games. He's played 10 games on zero days rest this year. In those 10 games he's averaging 29.7 points per game and shooting 49.8% from the field.
Durant's cleared this line in eight of his last 10 road games and both road games he's played in Denver this year. The altitude doesn't seem to bother Durant but it might be somewhat of an issue for his teammates tonight.
Brandon Ingram o21.5 Points (-105) | Lucky Rebel
Brandon Ingram's going through a bit of a shooting slump over the last week, but tonight he returns to the city where he spent a majority of career; New Orleans. Ingram's been great for the Toronto Raptors this year, averaging 21.5 points per game and shooting 46.7% from the field.
In his first year as a Raptor, Ingram leads the team in scoring, he's played in 62 of the team's 64 games and he's very quickly become a fan favorite north of the border.
Ingram was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers and after just two years traded to the New Orleans Pelicans. He spent six seasons with the Pelicans, helping lead them to the playoffs two separate times and leading the team in scoring every single year.
Now Ingram returns to New Orleans as the leading scorer for a new team, a team set to make the postseason. The Pelicans have also just been really bad defensively. The team ranks 27th in points allowed, 24th in opponent effective field goal percentage and 26th in points allowed to the SF position.
Benedict Mathurin o23.5 P/R (-105) | Lucky Rebel
Benedict Mathurin has been so much fun on the Los Angeles Clippers. Mathurin's averaging 30.1 minutes per game over his last 10 games, he's taking just over 15 shot attempts per contest and averaging 20.5 points per game in that timeframe. His shooting percentages leave something to be desired but his usage has been phenomenal.
Mathurin's also averaging 6.7 rebounds per game in that 10 game span and 1.5 offensive rebounds per game. His offensive rebounds per game have almost doubled since joining the Clippers and it's because of the increase in minutes.
Even though he's coming off the bench, Mathurin has played over 30 minutes in eight of the 12 games he's played for Los Angeles. His usage rate has jumped from 23% to 28% since coming to the Clips and it's because he's coming off the bench.
Mathurin's struggled against the Minnesota Timberwolves in his career but the usage rate he's seen since coming to LA can't be ignored. The Timberwolves come into this one on the second night of a back to back, coming off a beatdown by the Lakers at Crypto.
The Timberwolves are a 1.5-point dog tonight and if the Clippers have any chance in this one; they'll need Benny.
