Lakers vs. Mavericks
By Joe Dellera
All eyes will be on Luka Doncic in his return to Dallas tonight in what will be an emotionally charged game. However, I’m targeting Austin Reaves.
The Mavericks sent extra help at Luka when these teams played last time these teams played, and it opened things up for his teammates. This is a must-win game for seeding regardless of the emotional aspect of this game.
Reaves has been incredible for the Lakers. He has hit this in 71% of his games with Luka this season, and is averaging 21.3 points and 4.8 assists in those games. This line is simply too low.
Reaves could clear this mark with points alone, but I’ll tack on the assists in case he gets some easy ones to Luka.
Additionally, the Mavericks have played at the seventh-fastest pace in the league over their last 15 games, so this is a bit of a pace-up spot as well.
Pick: Austin Reaves Over 23.5 Points + Assists (-120)

Heat vs. Bulls
Josh Giddey has gone over this line in six of his last eight outings, in three straight, and in back to back games against the Miami Heat.
He's hurt the Heat in numerous ways offensively, particularly as a scorer.
This season, Giddey has shot nearly 60 percent from the field against the Heat, while hitting 5-of-9 from three-point range, accumulating 36 and 48 PRA in consecutive contests opposite of Miami.
The Heat struggle to contain big guards who can create, especially when their shot is falling, and Giddey's has against them this season.
Pick: Josh Giddey Over 35.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)
