Philadelphia 76ers vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction: Monday 2/9 - Joel Embiid Over 29.5 Points

Joel Embiid is in a rhythm that makes this line look too low. He has crushed this number in 8 of his last 10 games, averaging a massive 33.1 points per game in that span. Tonight, he faces a Portland Trail Blazers team anchored by sophomore big man Donovan Clingan. While Clingan has the size to match up, young centers often struggle with discipline against the reigning MVP. Embiid, who lives at the free-throw line, should exploit Clingan’s foul-happy tendencies early. With a 35% usage rate over his last 10 games, expect Embiid to dominate the paint and spend plenty of time at the stripe to clear this number comfortably.

Brooklyn Nets vs Chicago Bulls Prediction: Monday 2/9 - Day'Ron Sharpe Over 7.5 Rebounds

Day'Ron Sharpe has been a monster on the glass recently, clearing this line in 5 of his last 6 games. He is a high-motor, high-usage big man who excels at positioning, and tonight he gets a prime matchup against the Chicago Bulls. Chicago possesses one of the softer frontcourts in the league, consistently struggling to box out athletic bigs. Sharpe should feast on second-chance opportunities and defensive boards alike. Given his recent production and the favorable matchup against a weak rebounding unit, 7.5 feels like a gift.

 

 

 

NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 2/9

Ty Jerome Over 13.5 Points

We faded the Jerome line recently when books over-adjusted it to 17.5, but with it back at 13.5, we are riding the over. Jerome is playing with insane usage rates in his last four games, posting 36.7%, 32.7%, 33.5%, and 34.5%, which are numbers usually reserved for superstars. He has cleared 13.5 points in 3 of his last 4 games. Despite being on a minutes limit (approx. 20 minutes), he is out there to shoot and shoot often. Against the Warriors tonight, expect him to maintain that aggressive shot-hunting mentality.

Jamal Murray Over 25.5 Points

The "Blue Arrow" is heating up, posting 28, 32, and 35 points in his last three games. With Nikola Jokic back in the lineup, Murray is benefiting from elite playmaking and cleaner looks. Tonight, the Nuggets face a Cleveland Cavaliers defense that has looked vulnerable on the perimeter since acquiring James Harden. Harden has never been known as a lockdown defender, and Cleveland's new-look rotation may struggle to contain Murray in the two-man game with Jokic.

Trey Murphy Over 22.5 Points

Trey Murphy is in "flamethrower" mode, clearing this line in three straight games with massive totals of 27, 44, and 26 points. He isn't hesitating from deep, hitting 18 three-pointers over his last two games alone. The Sacramento Kings defense is very poor, particularly at defending the perimeter, and they lack the discipline to chase Murphy off screens for 48 minutes. With Murphy expected to play heavy minutes and the Kings offering little resistance, this is a smash spot.
