With LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, Jalen McDaniels and Mason Plumlee all in the NBA’s health and safety protocols, the Hornets will heavily lean on Hayward against the 76ers tonight, both as a scorer and distributor. BetQL projects him to have 22 points, eight rebounds and five assists in this matchup. Expect the former All-Star to see a ton of usage on the offensive end, along with Miles Bridges.
Even with Ja Morant out, Brooks hasn’t taken over as the go-to scorer in Memphis’ offense. Over the last five games, he’s surpassed the 20.5 mark once (with a 21-point outing against the Kings back on November 28). This is one of the more baffling lines of the day, especially considering that the Grizzlies play against the Heat in Miami. The model is projecting him to score 14 points, well below the 20.5 point prop.
While the Warriors are heavy home favorites against the Magic tonight, our model projects that the MVP frontrunner will be the main reason why they come away with a big win. He’s projected to record 30 points, five rebounds and nine assists, therefore surpassing the 6.5 assists needed to win this prop bet. Orlando has allowed 8.5 assists per game to opposing point guards and Curry might not feel the need to fill up the scoring column against his inferior opponents tonight.
