There are 9 games in the NBA Friday night. Two games have a line of 4 points or less and 2 have a line of at least 9 points. Three games have a total of at least 230 points. As always, stay up to date on the latest injury news since lines can change. Bets may be added throughout the day if additional spots that arise, so be sure to check back later in the day. My record is 62-46-1 for the season. Here are my picks for tonight.
Rudy Gobert over 12.5 rebounds (-104 on FanDuel)
Gobert has been dominating the boards, averaging 14.9 per game. He has at least 14 rebounds in the last 3 games. In the previous two games he only played 28 and 22 minutes since he was coming back from injury. Gobert has gone over this total in 12 of the last 15 games. The last time he faced the Pelicans, Gobert had 17 rebounds.
Tyrese Maxey over 16.5 points (-120 on Caesars)
There were questions as to what Maxey’s role would be with the addition of James Harden. So far it has been better than most expected. Maxey has scored 28, 21 and 25 points in 3 games with Harden. He has taken 16, 12, and 14 shots from field, hitting 9-for-14 from three-point range. Maxey was playing well before Harden arrived, averaging 18.9 ppg in February. The offense is more fast-paced with Harden. The 76ers have scored 133, 125 and 123 points in his 3 games. The Cavaliers have been a good defensive team this season ranking 4th in defensive efficiency but have allowed at least 119 points in 3 of the last 5 games. Maxey has gone over this in 8 of the last 12 games and averaging 20.6 ppg in that span.
Malcolm Brogdon over 28.5 points+rebounds+assists (-110 on BetMGM)
Brogdon has been back for 3 games after missing more than one month with an Achilles injury. He had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in 31 minutes in his return. He followed up with 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists against Boston in 29 minutes. In the last game, Brogdon played 41 minutes in an overtime game and had 31 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists. The Pacers were off yesterday and Brogdon should have no restrictions based on Wednesday’s game. Brogdon is averaging 18.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists and that includes 6 games he played 26 minutes or fewer. The Pistons are 26th in defensive efficiency and played last night in Toronto.
