Christian Wood over 9.5 rebounds (+100)
Clint Capela is back in the Hawks lineup, but he’s still on a minutes restriction and not at 100% health-wise. Because of that I think Christian Wood is a good bet in tonight’s game. He’s had quite a run over his last 4 games, collecting 16, 14 and 17 rebounds in 3 of them. Over his last 10 he’s at 9.8 per game, and his role has increased significantly over the past week or so with his minutes reaching the high-30s, which is quite an increase compared to his season average of 26.4. That’s a clear indicator that head coach Jason Kidd is counting on him big-time moving forward. Atlanta has done a poor job at rebounding all season, allowing 54.8 boards a night, which is only the 28th-best mark in the league. On the road only 3 teams are worse in that department, so I’m counting on Wood to get into double digits once again.
De’Andre Hunter over 1.5 made threes (-104)
Dallas traditionally does a really solid job at defending Trae Young, so instead of backing him I’ve opted for De’Andre Hunter and Dejounte Murray. Hunter has been lighting it up from downtown, scoring on almost 43% of his attempts in January while making 2.3 shots per game. The Mavs got destroyed from the perimeter by Portland in their last game as they connected on 38.6% of their attempts. Hunter averages almost 13% more makes from 3-point land in road games compared to those at State Farm Arena. In 19 such games he’s at 1.9 made threes per game, and the Mavericks also have a couple of injuries to their front court with Maxi Kleber, Dorian Finney-Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr. all potentially missing this game. I expect at least a couple of threes from him tonight.
Wednesday’s NBA mega parlay pays out at +902 odds!
Dejounte Murray over 18.5 points (-108)
Dejounte Murray is averaging 24.3 points per game in his last 3 games while putting up 28 points in his last game against the defense-minded Miami Heat. Over his last 10 games he’s at 20.4 points per game while shooting over 45% from the field and 37% from three. He’s also cleared this line 3 times in the last 5 meetings against Dallas which makes me optimistic he’ll be able to do it again tonight. Atlanta has had to rely on him quite a lot this season with their leading scorer Young shooting in the mid-30s percentage-wise for long stretches of games. He has answered the call and right now he’s the team’s 2nd-leading scorer behind Young while being the more efficient player both from the field and from three. With Hardaway Jr. out of the lineup, he will have an easier time on defense which should open things up a bit on the other end for him.
