There are 9 games in the NBA Monday night. Four games have a line of 4 or fewer points and 3 games are in double digits. Five games have a total of at least 225 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 56-41-1 for the season. Here are my picks for tonight.
Dejounte Murray over 40.5 points + rebounds + assists (-110 on DraftKings)
I was able to get it at 39.5, but it’s moving. Murray has been a triple-double threat all season and has increased his production with the departure of Derrick White. Murray has scored 31 and 32 points in the 2 games without White. He had 31 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds in the last game and 32 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds in the prior game. The game total is 234.5 points against the Bulls, Murray had 29 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds against the Bulls on Jan. 28 in a 131-122 win. Nine of the last 10 Bulls games have been at least 227 points.
Julius Randle over 23.5 points (-110 on FanDuel)
Julius Randle has been on fire after a stretch in which he struggled. RJ Barrett is out again and Randle is needed to score more. Randle has scored at least 28 points in 5 consecutive games and played at least 37 minutes in 4. He has taken at least 20 shots from the field in all 5 and is averaging 20.8 shots from the field per game in the last 6 games. He is averaging 29.2 points per game over the last 5.
De’Aaron Fox over 22.5 points (-116 on FanDuel)
Since returning from injury, Fox has scored 29, 27 and 26 points. He has scored at least 26 points in 4 straight games. He has gone over this line in 6 of the last 7 and the time he fell short, he was ejected. The Kings are 2-point favorites on the road in Brooklyn with a game total of 228.5 points. The Nets are one of the worst teams at defending point guards, allowing the 4th-most points to the position per game and Kyrie Irving is out. The Kings are 6th in pace and the Nets are 11th. The Kings are 29th in defensive efficiency and the Nets are 19th.
