Trae Young OVER 29.5 points
Trae Young has been on a different planet lately. He’s scored 46 and 47 points in the last two games respectively and each game was played without John Collins. Collins remains out of the Hawks lineup and without him and Cam Reddish (traded), Young has a 37.1% USG rate and averages 1.5 FP/min.
Here are Young’s last 10 games without Collins in the lineup. He’s averaged 36.7 points/game without Collins over that span, including three of the last five over 40. Six of 10, in fact, over 40.
His match-up against Charlotte is as good as it gets too, considering they’re 23rd in DRtg as a team this year and third overall in pace. This game has a 240.5 over/under, which is the second largest number on the slate. Lock and load Young today.
Dorian Finney-Smith OVER 11.5 points
The emergence of Dorian Finney-Smith on the offensive end of the floor has made up for the losing Kristaps Porzingis loss. DFS has been quite good, pouring in 16+ points in four of his last five games and 14+ in eight of 10.
Brooklyn is playing the second leg of a back-to-back here and they have not been great on defense. They’re 24th in DRtg since the All-Star break and they’re 12th in pace this year, so Dallas should be maximizing their offensive possessions here. I like Luka Doncic setting Finney-Smith up all night long!
