Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets
- Leg 1: Austin Reaves Over 18.5 Points (-130)
- Leg 2: Jamal Murray Under 21.5 Points (-108)
- Leg 3: LeBron James Over 7.5 Assists (-150)
Austin Reaves just added 32 points against the Portland Trail Blazers last time out. He’s now scored at least 19 points in six of his last 10 games and has averaged 22.2 points per game in those last 10 games. Additionally, he’ll take on a Denver defense that already ranks dead last in points allowed to shooting guards per game. Denver has struggled to defend the three-point line against shooting guards and has allowed the most field goals made per game from shooting guards this season.
On the other hand, Jamal Murray has added 89 points combined in his last two games. But I think he’ll come back to life tonight. After all, he’s taking on a Lakers defense that ranked eighth in the NBA in points allowed to point guards. The Lakers haven’t allowed many foul shots and have held point guards to below 26% from downtown this season. That should help keep Murray in check.
Finally, LeBron James has tallied at least eight assists in 72% of games this season. While he only had four against Portland, James has still added 8.7 assists per game over the last 10. Furthermore, the Nuggets have watched small forwards add 4.43 assists per game, which ranks 27th in the NBA. James should be able to rack up the assists against this Nuggets team.
Parlay Odds: +405
Charlotte Hornets vs. Portland Trail Blazers
- Leg 1: Deni Avdija Under 15.5 Points (-111)
- Leg 2: Toumani Camara Over 11.5 Points (-130)
- Leg 3: Jerami Grant Over 14.5 Points (-104)
I know Deni Avdija scored 28 points against the Lakers a couple of days ago. However, he’s still only added 14.8 points per game this season. In addition, he’s averaged only 15.6 points per game over the last 10 games. Avdija is also facing a Charlotte defense ranked seventh in the NBA in points allowed to small forwards this season. The Hornets have defended the three-point line well against small forwards and don’t allow many field goal attempts in the first place.
Conversely, Toumani Camara has scored at least 13 points in two straight games. He’s seen over 37 minutes in the last two games and has attempted at least seven shots in eight consecutive games. Camara will take on a Charlotte defense ranked 26th in the NBA in points allowed to power forwards. Ultimately, the Hornets have given up nine field goals made per game to power forwards, which ranks 27th in the NBA.
I also like Jerami Grant to have a good evening. Grant has scored at least 15 points in only three of his last 10 games. However, he’s averaged 22 points per game in his previous five games against the Hornets. Charlotte still ranks 26th in the NBA in points allowed to power forwards. Meanwhile, Grant has taken at least 10 shots in six straight games. He’s struggled to find a rhythm, but a game against the Hornets should help him break out.
Parlay Odds: +447
