Pickswise was nice enough to give me the opportunity to write my plays up for you all. For those of you who don’t know me, they refer to me as JutPicks on Twitter. I post all my plays with brief writeups every day. Now I get to write even more with no character limit!
I pride myself in being as transparent as they come. My NBA record from last season and this season are listed in my bio alongside with my MLB record. Without further ado, let’s dive into my favorite plays for Sunday.
Spencer Dinwiddie (Wizards) under 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)
Line available at Fanduel at the time of publishing.
Dinwiddie is coming off an impressive 31 PRA showing against Toronto on Friday night. He converted 5 three pointers on 5/7 from deep, his 2nd most made three’s this season. I am expecting regression today with Kuzma back in the lineup and a healthy Bradley Beal taking most of the shots for Washington. With Beal in the lineup, Dinwiddie’s game drastically changes. He is looked at as a pass first point guard and averages only 10 points a game.
Today, Washington faces Boston. Marcus Smart is returning for the Celtics who is expected to be on a minutes restriction but will reek havoc on Beal and others. On the year, Boston ranks 5th in defensive efficiency and plays at one of the slowest pace in the league.
On the season, Dinwiddie is under this line in 57% of games and 7/25 with playing alonsgside Bradley Beal.

Terry Rozier (Hornets) over 29.5 points + rebounds + assists (-115)
Line available at Caesars at the time of publishing.
Rozier has quietly been the rock of the Charlotte Hornets. He gets slightly overlooked playing in the same backcourt as LaMelo Ball but Rozier is in the midst of his 3rd straight quality season for Charlotte. He averages upwards of 18 points per game along with 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Terry has always been known to “get his”. Rarely will you see him shoot fewer than 15 field-goal attempts per game. Tonight, he faces the Atlanta Hawks, with the line at a whopping 235 points, so we can expect Rozier to shoot close to 20 shots from the field along with 8 to 10 3-point attempts.
The Hawks don’t cover the 3-point shot well and that is something that Rozier does extremely well. He ranks 16th in the league with 113 makes this season. Aside from his scoring, Rozier will get his teammates involved. In his last 2 games, he has dished out 19 total assists, his most in a 2-game span this season.
Rozier has gone over this line in 18/37 games this season and his last 7 overall. I expect Terry to continue that momentum against a Hawks team allowing 112 points per game, which is 6th-worst in the association.
