Julius Randle & RJ Barrett 60+ points and rebounds between them @ +230 via DraftKings
They are calling this boost the Bing Bong boost, so I am not sure if it is exclusive to New York, but either way, this is a good spot to catch the Knicks two best players in what should be an extremely close game with the Lakers. Julius Randle is one of the league’s best “point-forwards†but that does not mean that he can’t bang down low with the best of em. As for RJ Barrett, he has risen to the top of the totem pole on this Knicks offense, and I think that he is good for 25-30 alone tonight agains’t a poor Lakers defensive squad.
DeAndre Ayton OVER 14.5 Points and 9.5 Rebounds @ +240 via Caesars
The Suns travel to Washington to take on the Wizards, and DeAndre Ayton is back. With a game under his belt to get back into the swing of things, I expect him to take advantage of a Washington team that has their own problems inside. Look for the Suns center to approach a twenty-point double-double and to be an integral part of how the Suns back into the W column.
Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 29.5 Points, 9.5 Rebounds and 5.5 Assists @ +650 via Caesars
Giannis was the MVP of the Finals for good reason, on any given night he can take over, and lead this team to victory. Tonight, he goes up against a Portland squad that appears to be waving the white flag, after trading Norman Powell to the Clippers. Look for Giannis to be by far the hardest working player on the court, and for that to lead to putbacks, easy looks and then for him to find his shooters when they collapse on him.
Duke Win & RJ Barrett OVER 24.5 Points @ +400 via Caesars
These are really fun, a college team and one of its alumni moving on combined in a boost, sign me up. Duke plays their last game at Chapel Hill with Coach K, if that isn’t something to get up for then you aren’t a team worth backing, but this Duke team is really good, and as a result, I like them to gome away with a win here! RJ Barrett should be able to pick the Laker defense apart, given the fact that they haven’t played much defense at all this year (in terms of efficency). Look for Barrett to get close to this number and for the Knicks to be live dogs in Crypto.com arena!
AVOID: 76ers to win the Championship @ +1400 via Caesars
Never bet because of speculation. This only exists because they know how clearly the 76ers have made it that they WANT James Harden. However, they have also made it clear that they are content to wait until this offseason to get him. Tempting, but don’t act on speculation, the odds won’t move that much between his trade and when he plays a game to make this something to be upset to miss.
