Today's Best Bets
Josh Giddey o30.5 PRA (-105)| Lucky Rebel
Let's kick it off with a little narrative play. Someone we've bet on a ton, Josh Giddey of the Chicago Bulls. Giddey's set to play his former team for just the third time in his career and both times prior he was held to below under 29 minutes.
Both games were blowout wins for the Thunder and just one of those games came after the Zach Lavine trade. Giddey's been nursing an injury over the last couple weeks and it's affected his minutes, recently. He's averagingjust 26.4 minutes per game in his last 10 games but he did just played nearly 33 minutes against Milwaukee.
Giddey finished with 20 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in that game. In his two prior games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Giddey's cleared this line just once; averaging a total of 29 points/rebounds/assists in the two games.
Tyler Herro o20.5 Points (-110) | Lucky Rebel
Tyler Herro's played in just 16 games this year but he's been significantly better scoring the ball at home, in Miami. Herro is averaging 22.0 points per game at home this year, shooting 52.0% from the field and 46.8% from beyond the arc. On the road that drops to 20.0 points per game and his shooting splits drop to 46.2% and 27.5%; respectively.
The scary thing about this game is the Brooklyn Nets have been bad, like really bad. Brooklyn's lost eight games in a row, five of those have been by double digits and it doesn't look like it's getting any better.
Brookyn ranks 28th in opponent effective field goal percentage, 30th in opponent 3-point percentage, 29th in opponent fast break points and 26th in points allowed in the paint. They've been bad by every single metric and the chance of a blowout still looms.
That being said, if the Nets can just keep it to within 15-points; Herro can clear this line.
Jalen Duren o29.5 P/R (-105) | Lucky Rebel
Last time Jalen Duren played the Cleveland Cavaliers he recorded 33 points, 16 rebounds and played nearly 42 minutes.He's cleared this line in 8 of his L11 games and even with Isaiah Stewart returning tonight, Duren's just been unstoppable.
Duren's just 22 years old and already looking like a top five center in the NBA. He's averaging 18.5 points per game and he's grabbing 10.7 rebounds per game. Duren's the anchor for the NBA's best defense and he's made it incredibly difficult for their opponents to score in the paint.
The Detroit Pistons rank 1st in opponent effective field goal percentage, 3rd in points allowed, 3rd in opponent points in the paint, 1st in steals and 1st in blocks. None of this possible with Jalen Duren anchoring your defense.
Duren's been great on both sides of the ball and we've really seen his offense blossom this year. He's taking 11.4 shot attempts per game this year and it's the first time in his career he's averaging double digit shot attempts. Duren's also getting to the line for a career high 5.5 free throw attempts per game and he's above average from the stripe (74%).
The Cavaliers present a tough matchup with both Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley on the roster, but like I said; Duren just had 33/16 against this exact same front court. .
