PrizePicks Top Plays
Trae Young Over 13.5 First Half Points
We love going at the Spurs with opposing points guards as they rank as a bottom 10 team in scoring allowed to the position. Young himself is really in a groove right now and has hit the over on this total in four of the last six games. When these two teams faced off earlier this year Young also hit the over on this total in the first half, shooting 7-of-13 from the floor.
DeMar DeRozanOver 28.5 Points
I get gunshy sometimes with these high point totals but man is DeRozan just playing at a completely different level than we have ever seen from him over the course of his career right now. He has gone over 28.5 points in 10 of his last 12 games. The matchup between the Bulls and Timberwolves tonight has a slate-high 241.5 game total with just a 3.5-point spread. Minnesota allows the third-most points to the forward position this season. Many are going to focus on Zack LaVine in this matchup but for me, I am going to keep riding the DDR train until he lets me down.
Isaiah Stewart Over 9.0 Rebounds
Our guy let us down last night as he found himself in early and constant foul trouble against the Grizzlies but he has a fantastic opportunity to bounce back tonight against the Hornets. Charlotte ranks 28th in total rebounding, 22nd in offensive rebounds allowed and 28th in defensive rebounds allowed. Stewart has been a rebounding machine of late, pulling down double-digit boards in six of the last seven games. Opposing center Mason Plulmee is not known for his offense so another night of foul trouble would be a surprise for me which should allow Stewart to stay on the floor. Helping Stewart's case tonight is also the fact that over the last three games the Hornets rank dead last in team shooting percentage, sitting at just 40.9%. Those misses should create plenty of rebounding opportunities.
Joel Embiid Over 16.5 First Half Points
Embiid is back on a dominating run and he certainly has the matchup to hit the over here. He has hit the over 16.5 first-half point total in three straight games and tonight faces the Thunder who don't really have anyone that can defend Embiid in this matchup. The absence of Seth Curry and the fact that his backup Andre Drummond was traded should increase his usage and we may see Embiid play even more minutes in the first half than usual given the lack of a true backup at the position.
Tyrese Haliburton Over 6.5 Assists
This is one of the lowest assist totals we have seen listed for Haliburton this season and while I know he is now on a different roster and maybe he will be asked to shoot a bit more I still think he should have no real issues getting to this mark tonight against the Cavaliers. Malcolm Brogdon has already been ruled out so the starting point guard job is going to be his tonight and the Pacers do have some scoring threats in Chris Duarte, Buddy Hield and even Lance Stephenson to help Haliburton get to this number tonight. Over the last 30 games he has hit the over here in 80% of those contests and overall this year when playing at least 30 minutes he has a 70% hit rate.
