Cleveland Cavaliers @ Golden State Warriors
Donovan Mitchell has started his Cavs career in pretty dominant fashion. He scored 38 points on 16 of 28 shooting on Wednesday night as the Cavs lost their second in a row following an eight-game winning streak. He began the game averaging 31.2 points per game this season. He has been scoring consistently as well, going over 27.5 in 80% of his games this season. The Cavs come up against the Warriors, who are yet to really get going this year, particularly defensively. They are 29th (second worst) in the League for points allowed. These stats lines have us looking at his over 27.5 market, that is playable at most major Sportsbooks.
Pick: Donovan Mitchell over 27.5 Points

Sacramento Kings @ Los Angeles Lakers
The struggling Lakers come up against a Kings team fresh off a win against an impressive Cavs team. Anthony Davis is considered ‘probable’ for today’s game against the Kings. An injury hobbled Davis is not one likely to score at the moment. So far this season he’s only hit the 25 line 20% of games. Further to this, he’s coming up against a Lakers Kings team with no injuries. At a line of 25 and -140 odds, we think that's value.
Pick: Davis Under 25

Denver Nuggets @ Boston Celtics
Jayson Tatum managed to score 31 and five assists in their win against the lowly Pistons on Wednesday. He’s been shooting and scoring well so far this season, going at 22 of 45. He hasn’t been dishing off that much though. The books have his line marked at 5.5 Assists. He’s only hit that in 18% of his games this season. As the Celtics continue to focus on him as their scoring source, he will continue to struggle in Assists.
Pick: Jayson Tatum Under 5.5 Assists

Toronto Raptors @ Oklahoma City Thunder
Scottie Barnes is averaging 4x 3 point attempts per game, and has a make % of 36.4 so far this season which is pretty healthy. He has hit a three in 82% of the games he’s played this year. He’s coming up against a OKC outfit who are ranked 20th for 3 allowed. He should be able to make at least 1 three with this stat line.
Pick: Scottie Barnes 1+ Made Threes
