2-Leg Parlay (-106): Clippers to win at Pelicans + Suns to win vs. Mavericks -- WynnBET, 2:52 PM CT
These are two bets on both team talent and organizational competence. While the Clippers could be shorthanded with Nicolas Batum questionable, that doesn't matter that much to me when going up against the tragically-bad Pelicans, even with Brandon Ingram back. I also just don't trust the Mavericks to win games without Luka Doncic, especially going up against the well-oiled Suns.
Giannis Antetokounmpo over 10.5 rebounds vs. Thunder -- WynnBET, 2:58 PM CT
OKC is the second-worst rebounding team in the NBA, allowing 48.6 boards per 100 possessions. Giannis has posted two poor rebounding efforts in back-to-back contests against average-to-above-average rebounding opponents in the Lakers and Hawks. I expect a nice bounceback here.
Khris Middleton over 1.5 threes vs. Thunder -- WynnBET, 3:02 PM CT
In addition to being a terrible rebounding team, the Thunder allow the third-most three-point attempts and the second-most makes per 100 possesions. Middleton is launching 5.9 threes per game this season, so 1.5 isn't a tough number to clear for makes.
Gordon Hayward under 1.5 threes vs. Pacers (-108) -- WynnBET, 3:06 PM CT
Per 100 possessions, the Pacers allow the second-fewest three-point attempts. Hayward isn't someone constantly firing threes in opponents' faces with no conscience, as he often relies on the pump-fake and drive. I think he'll be doing plenty of that tonight.
