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 Tuesday.
OG Anunoby (Raptors) over 24.5 points + rebounds + assists (-120)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
You have to have short-term memory when betting on player props. One night they will stuff the stat sheet, and the next they will shoot 20% from the field.
I backed Anunoby last night and he came 3 points, rebounds, or assists short. His rebounding numbers were slightly down from games past. I am confident in him scoring at least 13 points against a Heat team that he scored 20 against in triple-overtime last week. He destroyed Miami on the boards in addition to reeling in 4 offensive and 10 defensive rebounds.
Another reason I am targeting Anunoby is his track record on back-to-backs. He is over this line in all 6 games that he had 0 days rest for. On the season, Anunoby is 19 for 33 on this line and we should see head coach Nick Nurse push all the Raptors starters to more than 30 minutes.

Jakob Poeltl (Spurs) over 12.5 points (-104)
Line available at DraftKings at time of publishing
The 6-year veteran has made big leaps this season all across the board. He has increased his scoring average from 8.6 to 13.2 while shooting 61% from the field. In his last 5 games, he is averaging close to 20 points a game and continues to be Dejounte Murray’s right hand man.
Tonight the San Antonio Spurs face off the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors will be sitting virtually their whole starting lineup as they are coming off a win against Houston last night. Golden State has been susceptible to allowing Centers have big scoring games against them. Christian Wood is coming off a 24 point game last night, while other centers, Karl-Anthony Towns, Goga Bitadze, and Isaiah Stewart all went over their season average.
On the season, Poeltl is over this line 60% of his games and will see quality minutes against a depleted Warriors frontcourt.

Kyle Kuzma (Wizards) under 33.5 points + rebounds + assists (-120)
Line available at BetMGM at time of publishing
There is no debate that Kuzma has found his home. He received plenty of scrutiny during his time in the bright lights of Los Angeles. He is averaging 16 points per game, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists as a member of the Wizards.
With Bradley Beal out tonight, the first instinct would be to bet the over on all other Washington Wizard players. But not in this case. In the 9 games played without the all-star, Kuzma is under this line 6 times while averaging 30.8 points, rebounds, and assists.
He draws a tough matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. Right off the tip of the last time these two teams squared off, Defensive Player of the Year, Giannis Antetokounmpo drew Kuzma. Kuzma scored 15 points while reeling down 10 boards and dishing out 5 assists. I expect his assist and rebounding numbers to drop tonight as he will look more to score.
To me, this game has plenty of blowout potential. The spread is upwards of 11 points and Washington is currently on a 5 game losing streak. All the signs pointing to taking the under.
