Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks) OVER 12.5 Rebounds
For the first free play I want you guys to take Giannis Antetokounmpo to go OVER 12.5 Rebounds. He’s covered this line in 3 of his last 4 games and the Greek Freak is doing everything he can to will this team to some wins. The Bucks roster needs some changes if they want to compete in the Eastern Conference but the one thing you get every night is Giannis competing. Last year he averaged 13.3 rebounds/game against this Bulls team and Chicago is playing with the 2nd fastest pace of play in the NBA, averaging 107 possessions per game. This uptempo style results in tons of shot attempts and rebounding potential for Antetokounmpo. In what should be a fairly competitive game I love the over in this spot. my numbers are projecting 13-15 boards for Giannis tonight, take Antetokounmpo OVER 12.5 Rebounds!
Kris Dunn (Clippers) UNDER 9.5 Points
Onto free player prop #2 tonight. I want you guys to take Clippers backup point guard Kris Dunn to go UNDER 9.5 points. He’s averaging 7.9 per game on the season and both the Magic and the Clippers play really solid defense and this is expected to be a grind. Over/under sitting at 206.5. The Providence guard has not been as impactful an NBA player as initially anticipated and he’s solidified himself as a role player. The way Harden and Powell dominate ball possession leaves few opportunities for other guys to score the rock. With LA expected to put up about 104 points I just don’t see a scenario where Dunn accounts for 10+% of that. As long as he doesn’t knock down a couple threes this is cashing easily. Take Kris Dunn UNDER 9.5 Points!
Mikal Bridges (Knicks) OVER 15.5 Points
For free play #3 we go to the matchup between the Knicks and the Suns. We’re looking to Mikal Bridges who’s averaging 16.4 PPG in his first season with New York. Bridges was with the Suns for 5 years including their run to the NBA Finals in 2021. I feel that his teammates will really work to get him the ball tonight as he has something extra to prove going back to Phoenix. Bridges can put up 20+ on any given night and he’s still averaging above the line tonight, despite only shooting 31% from three, a career-worst. He’s gone above this number in 3 of his last 4 games and I expect him to tonight. Analytics show him projected for 18 points tonight. Let’s cash this ticket. Take Mikal Bridges OVER 15.5 Points!
