NBA

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.

Phoenix Suns ML over Boston Celtics (+160)

The Phoenix Suns have been on a roll of late, making a push for the play-in tounament. They have won 4 straight games including wins over Eastern Conference powerhouses the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks. They can extend that streak tonight against the Boston Celtics. The Suns are strong at home, with a 23-13 record. Over the last 5 games they are 6th in the NBA in net offensive and defensive rating. While the Celtics rank a couple of spots higher, they will be playing on the road tonight. Over the last 10 games the Suns are 2nd in the NBA in 3-point percentage an are one of the few teams who can match the Celtics from beyond the arc. They are good value to keep their win streak going tonight.

Kevin Durant, PHX, Over 25.5 points (-120)

Kevin Durant has been able to hit the over on this line in 3 straight games and is currently averaging 35.3 points per game over the last week. He has also been averaging 28 points per game when playing at home this season, so it is hard to see a drop off from him tonight. In 2 games against the Celtics last season, he averaged 32.5 points per game. Considering the visitors have the same core of players on the wing as they did then, nothing should change from that here. The visitors are likely to utilize the likes of Jayson Tatum and Derrick White against him, but Durant will have a length advantage over them both. With no issues getting his shots off, look for him to continue his recent hot scoring run.

Devin Booker, PHX, Over 2.5 made threes (-115)

Over the last 2 games Devin Booker has struggled from the perimeter, making 1 of his 9 3-point attempts. This could be a great spot for him to bounce back. Over the last 10 games the Celtics have been in the bottom half of the league in opponent 3-point attempts and opponent 3-point percentage. Despite his struggles, Booker is still making 35% of his attempts from beyond the arc in March. With Bradley Beal remaining out, Booker should continue to see increased usage so he should see no shortage of opportunities. With Durant playing at the high level he has been showing of late, it should help the Suns guard act as a floor spacer tonight. He is more than capable of taking advantage.
