Show Bio

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.

There is plenty of NBA action tonight, with 22 teams taking to the floor. There are also 2 games on NBA TV. The first will see a cross-conference matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Milwaukee Bucks, which will then be followed by a crucial clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns. If the Lakers win and results elsewhere go their way, they could find themselves in an automatic playoff position. Take a look at our NBA predictions for all of tonight’s 11 games. But until then, let’s get into my favorite NBA player prop bets for the action.

Jalen Green over 24.5 points (-110)

Jalen Green is giving the Houston Rockets fans hope that the team could be competitive next season. Over his last 10 games, he has upped his points per game average to 25.6 per night. Tonight, he will get the chance to face off against the Charlotte Hornets, who he torched for 41 points earlier in the season. The hosts have shut down a number of their key wing defenders for the season already and it should allow Green to go off once more. Green is a phenomenal athlete and should have the ability to get to the paint off the dribble and from cuts. With the Hornets just 26th in opponent points in the paint over the last 10 games, he is unlikely to find much resistance at the rim. Look for him to convert that into a high-scoring performance tonight.

OG Anunoby over 2.5 made threes (+145)

OG Anunoby had an off-shooting night the last time he faced off against the Boston Celtics, making 2 of 8 attempts. Do not expect him to let them off again tonight if he sees the same number of attempts. Over the last 7 games, he has been able to knock down at least 3 shots from beyond the arc on 5 occasions. Anunoby is also making 38.8% of his 3-point attempts this season. The Raptors have started to rely on him more for their perimeter attack. Last month, he upped his 3-point attempts to 6.6 per game. Through 2 games this month, there does not seem to be any signs of him slowing down. With the Celtics potentially starting to look ahead to the playoffs and taking their foot off the gas defensively, the Raptors forward could thrive.

Luka Doncic over 8.5 rebounds (+100)

Luka Doncic has been strong at rebounding the ball for the Dallas Mavericks. Over the last 7 games he has been able to record double-digit boards in 5 contests. In a must-win game tonight, I am expecting more of the same from the superstar. Luckily for him, he is taking on a Chicago Bulls team that is 24th in offensive rating over the last 10 games. They are also resting their 2 stars in DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. It should help ensure there are plenty of defensive rebounds for Doncic to track down. The Bulls are also just 25th in the league in rebounding percentage during that stretch, despite the presence of Nikola Vucevic. Look for the Mavericks man to win plenty of rebounding battles tonight.

Draymond Green over 7.5 assists (+112)

Over the last 10 games, the Sacramento Kings are just 26th in the league in opponent assists per game. The man that looks set to benefit from that tonight is Draymond Green. The forward has been able to record 8 or more assists in 5 of his last 7 games. Against a favorable opponent, he should be able to improve on that streak. Klay Thompson looks set to return for the Warriors too, which would give him another weapon to aim for, having missed the guard in a 5-assist performance last time. Green is also someone that could be able to pick up Domantas Sabonis. That would allow the Warriors to run small-ball lineups with Green at the heart of them. Look for him to rack up assists as a result.
