You can also check out our expert NBA picks for all of today’s biggest matchups.
Jordan Poole (WSH) Over 8.5 rebounds+assists (-115)
Odds available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing
Let’s tip off the slate by backing a rebound + assist prop in Wizards-Pelicans — 2 of the worst teams in the league with a combined record of 11-44 and both at the bottom of their respective conferences.
Jordan Poole has been the one bright spot for the Wizards this season. Yes, he’ll have his typical knucklehead play that goes viral on social media, but he’s having a career year in terms of shooting the ball, scoring, and playmaking. Instead of backing his points line of 22.5 that is juiced to the over, we’ll pivot to his rebounds + assists prop at 8.5 — a number he has eclipsed in 6 of his last 10. Bilal Coulibaly will be sidelined for this game, boosting Poole’s usage. Coulibaly has recorded at least 5 assists in 7 straight games (not including the last game, in which he only played 9 minutes).
Malcolm Brogdon came off the bench last contest after starting 4 of the last 5. Nonetheless, if this game stays close, we’re looking at 33+ minutes for Poole. He is over in 7 of 10 when seeing that much time on the floor.

Spencer Dinwiddie (DAL) Under 15.5 points (-133)
Odds available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing
We’re doing line shopping to find the best number for Spencer Dinwiddie Under 15.5 points. Yes, we’re taking on vig here, but he is under 15.5 points in 7 of 10 games this season with Kyrie Irving and without Luka Doncic. At under 14.5 points, he is under in 5 of 10 — landing on 15 points twice over the last week and a half.
Dallas hosts the surging Cleveland Cavaliers as a +7.5 home underdog. This game suits Kyrie Irving better, as he usually comes to play versus his former team. He has scored over 30 points in each of the last 3 games. Expect a heavy dose of Irving, with Klay Thompson and a hopefully healthy P.J. Washington taking up shots, as well.
If the under of 15.5 points is not available, pivot to under 14.5 points at a playable price. DraftKings currently has the best price on the market at -105.
