What is going on FANation! We went 1-3 with yesterday's prop plays with some tough luck once again with D'Angelo Russell leaving with an injury, Kevon Looney fouling out just shy of his rebound prop and Joel Embiid missing his rebound prop by a few as well. We hit the over on Klay Thompson 2.5 three-pointers right out of half time for the lone win.
Gotta have short memories so we turn our attention to today's massive 11 game slate where there are quite a few matchups we are looking to take advantage of today.

Today's Top Plays
DeMar DeRozan Over 24.5 Points
DDR has hit the over 24.5 in each of his last four games and overall on the season he is averaging 26.4 points per game. With Lonzo Ball out of the lineup we see Zach LaVine picking up a bit more of the slack when it comes to dishing out assists and DeRozan has been a huge benefactor of that. We also like to play up the revenge game narrative, like we did the other night against the Raptors when he went for 29 points. DeRozan was traded from the Spurs to the Bulls this past offseason and this is the first meeting he will have against them this season. Let's look for DeRozan to just keep on keeping on here and giving us the over on his points.
CJ McCollum Over 19.5 Points
Fully targeting the matchup here along with the lack of rotational depth the Blazers have right now. McCollum has hit the over on this number in three of the last five games and there are few better matchups on the board than going up against the Rockets who rank 30th in points allowed and 28th in opponent field goal percentage. This game has a 234.5 game total with just a 3.5-point spread which adds up to the type of game pace we are looking for when looking for the over 19.5 here for CJM tonight.
Zach LaVine Over 4.5 Rebounds
We played the LaVine over 4.5 assists the other night and he hammered it. PrizePicks did not offer that to us today so let's take a look at the 4.5 rebounds instead. In the two games since his return, both without Lonzo Ball, LaVine has pulled down 8 and 7 rebounds. Without Lonzo Ball in the lineup we have seen LaVine hit the over on this 4.5 total in four straight contests and on the season without Lonzo Ball he is averaging 5.1 rebounds per game. Let's attack this number as it feels just too low given his past output in this situation.
Cade Cunningham Over 28.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists
The rookie has been playing on another level over the last three games and during that three game stretch he has hit the over 28.5 PRA in all three contests, going for 36, 31 and 50. Cunningham is a stat sheet stuffer when going right and this matchup against the Magic should not be one that gives him too much trouble. Not only that, but his 28.5 PRA number right here is lower than what the sportsbooks have him set at so we are getting a bit of a discount here as well. I'm willing to ride the talent and the matchup here on the over.
