LeBron James OVER 28.5 POINTS -110
Tuesday’s loss vs. Pelicans was nothing short of an embarrassment for the Lakers. LeBron played bad, despite getting his 30+. I really expect a bounce back from him. Even if my belief in the Lakers is going down every single day. He was criticized a lot in the last few days, and we know he takes it personally. Angry LeBron is still the most dangerous man in basketball. The good thing is even if they’re blown out, he is chasing Kareem’s record and maybe the scoring title. Over the line in 63% of his matches this season, 21 of L30 and 7 of L10. I think he will get his 30 tonight no matter the result.
Scottie Barnes OVER 9.5 Rebounds & Assists -120
Can’t pass this up. These two played yesterday and this line opened at 8.5 and closed at 9.5. Last night Barnes had 16 rebounds and 4 assists and the line for today is the same. It might sound like a trap, but expect him to cover pretty easily. Averaging 10.8 for the season and over in 71% of his 52 games played. Hit it 3/3 vs Nets this year with 11,17, and the 20 yesterday.
Trae Young OVER 9.5 ASSISTS +120
The line was 8.5, but even now at 9.5 for this price is absolutely a must. I think the Hawks will make the game close and Trae covered in 7 of L10 and 17 of his L30 matches. 55% over for the whole season, and he had double-doubles in 2 of the 3 games against Boston. Lately the Celtics have been great defensively, which will make it very hard for Trae to score, but this should give him opportunities for dishes. If the game remains close, I expect very high minutes.
