Denver Nuggets vs. L.A. Clippers Prediction: Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 Rebounds

The Joker remains the undisputed king of prop lines, and this rebounding number feels entirely too low given his recent form. Jokic has cruised past 12.5 rebounds in five straight games, dominating the glass with an average of 14.4 rebounds generated from a massive 22.4 rebound chances per night.

Tonight, the Nuggets head to the Intuit Dome to face an L.A. Clippers team that boasts a noticeably weaker frontcourt following the trade deadline departure of Ivica Zubac. Without Zubac's size to box him out or contest him in the paint, Jokic should face very little resistance on the interior. Expect Denver to lean heavily on their MVP to control the boards and clean up on both ends of the floor.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Atlanta Hawks Prediction: Tyrese Maxey Over 30.5 Points

Tyrese Maxey enters the second half of the season on an absolute tear, and tonight he is in a prime position to carry the load for Philadelphia. With Joel Embiid sidelined, Maxey becomes the undisputed premier offensive engine for the 76ers.

The numbers strictly support a massive workload. Maxey is sporting a staggering 33% usage rate when both Embiid and Paul George are off the floor this season. Combine that volume with the fact that he is projected to play close to 40 minutes tonight against a fast-paced Atlanta Hawks team, and the math heavily favors him eclipsing the 30-point mark. He will have the ultimate green light from start to finish.

 

 

 

Houston Rockets vs. Charlotte Hornets Prediction: Tari Eason Over 1.5 Three-Pointers

Tari Eason draws one of the best matchups on the board tonight against the Charlotte Hornets. Eason has carved out a vital role in the Rockets' rotation and has been catching fire from beyond the arc, hitting the Over on this 1.5 line in 8 of his last 10 games.

The volume and efficiency are both there. Over his last 10 games, Eason is shooting a blistering 46% from three-point range while averaging a healthy 5.4 attempts per contest. Against a Hornets defense that consistently collapses and leaves shooters open on the perimeter, two makes is a very manageable threshold for a player getting this kind of high-quality volume.

Toronto Raptors vs. Chicago Bulls Prediction: Immanuel Quickley Over 2.5 Three-Pointers

Immanuel Quickley has fully taken the reins of the Raptors' offense, and his perimeter shooting is the key to unlocking their spacing. He has successfully hit the Over on this line in five straight games, shooting an elite 49.2% from deep while averaging a whopping 8 three-point attempts per game during that stretch.

Tonight, he faces a Chicago Bulls defense that has been incredibly generous to opposing point guards, a problem exacerbated by their recent deadline moves. The Bulls acquired a logjam of guards, including Anfernee Simons, Collin Sexton, and Jaden Ivey, and could also have Josh Giddey returning to the lineup. This newly assembled backcourt lacks defensive cohesion and point-of-attack stoppers, creating the perfect storm for Quickley to let it fly and comfortably sink three or more triples.

Orlando Magic vs. Sacramento Kings Prediction: Keegan Murray Over 4.5 Rebounds

While Keegan Murray is known primarily for his shooting, he is a sneaky good rebounder whose floor raises significantly when the Kings' frontcourt is depleted. Tonight, Sacramento will be without both Domantas Sabonis and Dylan Cardwell, leaving a massive rebounding void to fill.

The data backs this up beautifully. Murray boasts a 60% hit rate of going Over this line when Sabonis and  Cardwell are sidelined this season. Zooming in further, he has cleared 4.5 boards in 6 of his last 9 games played without that duo in the lineup. The only real concern here is a possible minutes limitation, but if Murray sees his standard rotation run, grabbing five rebounds should be well within reach against Orlando.
