PrizePicks Top Plays
Gary Trent Over 20.5 Points & Over 3.5 Three-Pointers Made
There may not be a hotter shooter in the NBA right now than Trent who has scored at least 30 points in five straight games. During this five games stretch Trent is shooting 49.6% from the floor and 51.7% from three-point range while averaging 6.2 three-pointers as part of his 32.2 point per game average. Trent's three-point prop is also available on PrizePicks tonight at 3.5 three-pointers made and I don't mind taking a stab at that one as well in a secondary play since they don't let you use both on the same ticket. Tonight Trent faces a Bulls team that saw him go for 32 points against them as part of this current run of scoring. Chicago could be without Zack LaVine tonight here as well which will shuffle around their backcourt rotation. Let's keep riding the train until they kick us off it.
DeMar DeRozan Over 26.5 Points
We were all in on this matchup last week and DDR did not disappoint as he scored 29 points with seven rebounds and seven assists while shooting 57.9% from the floor. In the first meeting between these two teams, all the way back in October we saw DeRozan score 26 points while having a bad shooting night, going just 7-for-18 (38.9%). DeRozan is coming off an impressive month of January where he averaging 25.7 points per game while shooting 51.4% from the floor. His last nine games in particular have been quite strong where is scoring average is up to 29.6 points while he is shooting 55.2% from the field. With Zack LaVine popping up on the injury report ahead of tonight's game we may see even more shots go DDR's way in this matchup.
Kevon Looney Over 10.0 Rebounds
Another slate where Looney's rebounding prop is well within range for him to hit the over. The sportsbooks have at least smartened up and started pricing him at double-digit rebounds but even then I don't see him grabbing 10 rebounds tonight being too much of an issue. Tonight Looney will face off against a Kings team that ranks 23rd in opponent rebounding and 26th in opponent offensive rebounding. We saw Looney pull down 12 rebounds in just 22 minutes against the Spurs the other night and he had actually hit this total by half-time of that game. Over the last three games the Kings as a team are also struggling to shoot, ranking 26th in team field goal percentage at just 43.7%. Those missed shots create rebounding opportunities for Looney tonight.
Anthony Davis Over 26.5 Points
Anthony Davis is expected to play tonight with the Lakers on a back-to-back. This will be the first back-to-back that Davis is playing since returning to the Lakers lineup but as of now he is good to go and there have been no reports of any expected limitations. Over the last three games Davis has really taken off and it's likely no surprise that the absence of LeBron James has been a key factor. With James off the floor this season Davis has a 29.9% usage rate and averages 0.72 points per minute. Since Davis has returned however those numbers have increased with LeBron out of the lineup as his usage rate sits at 31.9% and he is averaging 0.81 points per minute. Over the last three games Davis is averaging 29.3 points over 36.2 minutes a night. He has already faced the Clippers this season and went for 27 points in a game that LeBron James was active for. Let's trust that there are no limitations because the Clippers are allowing the fifth most points per game to the center position this season which makes for an elite matchup for AD.
