🏆 Today’s best NBA player picks
🎯 Coby White Higher than 35.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
White is enjoying another productive season and has recently turned things up. Before the All-Star break, he averaged just 26 PRA, but he’s averaged 32.9 post-break. Across his last six games, he’s posted 38.1 PRA per game and has gone Higher than 35.5 four times.
Over the last 10 games, Utah has allowed the third-most points, seventh-most rebounds and fourth-most assists. White is in a favorable spot on the road, and he’s averaged 36.3 PRA across his last four games away from United Center.
🎯 Cade Cunningham Higher than 42.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cunningham is amid a breakout campaign, averaging 41 PRA per game. He was ejected on Saturday against the Thunder and logged only 29 minutes, but in five games prior, he averaged 45.4 PRA and went Higher than 42.5 three times.
Over the last seven games, the Pelicans have been generous to opposing PGs. New Orleans has allowed 28.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 10.3 assists to the position, good for sixth-most in points, second-most in rebounds, and fifth-most in assists.
🎯 Donovan Clingan Higher than 9.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Clingan has been rolling since joining Portland’s starting lineup. Over the last 14 (all starts), he’s averaged 9.9 rebounds and gone Higher than 9.5 six times. In that span, he’s pulled down nine rebounds two more times.
Clingan has grabbed at least nine rebounds in five straight contests, including 12 or more in two straight. The Wizards have allowed the most rebounds per game across the last 10, and Clingan finished with eight boards in just 17 minutes in his first matchup against Washington this season.
🎯 Domantas Sabonis Higher than 12.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sabonis leads the league in rebounds per game at 14.1, so a below-average performance will get the job done tonight against the Grizzlies. The big man has gone Higher than 12.5 rebounds in 34 of 57 games this season.
Memphis has allowed 14.9 rebounds per game to opposing centers, but that number has jumped to 16.6 (sixth-most) over the last seven. Sabonis has gone Higher than 12.5 rebounds in 15 of 26 home matchups.
🎯 Quentin Grimes Higher than 20.5 points ⭐⭐⭐
Grimes continues to get it done as Philly’s go-to option offensive option. He scored 28 in Sunday’s win over the Mavericks, and he’ll be asked to handle a hefty workload for the second leg of Philly’s back-to-back set.
He’s scored Higher than 20.5 points in four straight and six of his last eight. In that eight-game stretch, Grimes has averaged 36.4 points on 18.5 field goal attempts while shooting 53.4% from the field. He’s scored at least 28 in four of his last five on the road, averaging 25.6 points.
