Best Bets
Giannis Antetokounmpo over 36.5 points (-115) vs. Jazz
DraftKings, 4:07 PM CT
Alex Barutha: What a number! Damian Lillard is out for Monday's game, which will funnel more usage to Giannis, who averages 1.9 more points per 36 minutes with Lillard off the floor. Not only that, but Utah allows the most points in transition, while the Greek Freak scores 7.5 PPG on the run. Giannis has been cooking lately too, averaging 34.6 PPG over his past nine games.
Derrick White over 19.5 points (-114) at Pacers
FanDuel, 4:15 PM CT
Alex Barutha: This is a good setup for White regardless of opponent, as Jayson Tatum (and Sam Hauser) is out for Monday's game. White sees a boost of 7.0 points per 36 minutes with Tatum off the floor, up to 23.8 points per 36. Not only that, but this is a huge pace-up spot for the Celtics, who rank 21st in pace compared to Indiana's 1st. Plus, the Pacers allow the second-most points to pick-and-roll ballhandlers, and 29.9% of White's usage comes in those actions.
Ivica Zubac under 21.5 points + rebounds (-125) vs. Suns
DraftKings, 4:27 PM CT
Alex Barutha: Zubac has 20.4 percent of his usage come from putback attempts, and the Suns allow the third-fewest putback points. Not coincidentally, Phoenix is also allowing the fourth-fewest rebounds to centers over the past 30 days. Last time these teams faced off, Zubac had six points and three rebounds in 27 minutes.
OKC Thunder -10.5 at Washington Wizards
DraftKings Sportsbook, 3:30pm CT
Nick Whalen: We are once again going back to the well with the Thunder, who've dropped two consecutive games straight up to the Hawks and Nets. They continue their road swing in Washington tonight but will come in on two days' rest against a Wizards team that last played Saturday against the Knicks (a 16-point loss). OKC's recent struggles may be a bit concerning, but this should be a fantastic bounceback spot. Washington has only covered six times this season, while OKC is 7-3 ATS after a SU loss, 9-6 ATS on the road and 6-2 ATS with the rest advantage. On the props side, I also like Chet Holmgren O8.5 REB (-135 at DK) tonight.
