Our staff has found some enticing picks for you in a variety of tonight’s matchups!
Dan Karpuc: 76ers C Andre Drummond Over 8.5 Rebounds vs. Knicks (-130, BetMGM)
I absolutely love this play, which is in my daily NBA Prop Picks article. With Joel Embiid and Guerschon Yabusele both out, Andre Drummond should draw the start against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden tonight, which intrigues me. As someone who grew up in Mount Vernon, NY, Drummond has loved playing at MSG throughout this career and has gone over this number in 17 of his last 18 games there despite playing backup minutes for quite a few of those contests (the one time he failed to go over, he had eight).
With 13.4 boards on average in 42 career games against the Knicks, he has had 8.9 rebounds with Embiid out this season and in 449 minutes, he has led Philadelphia with a 22.36% rebound rate. You can make the argument that Drummond is the best rebounder in the history of the NBA and I expect him to show up under the bright lights of the Big Apple tonight. He will have to play as many minutes as he can handle to match up against Karl-Anthony Towns and his upside on the boards is immense. In 12 career games against KAT, he has also averaged 13.8 rebounds, which is another factor working in his favor.
Lucy Burdge: Bulls +8.5 vs. Clippers (-105, BetMGM)
The Bulls have been covering after they’ve covered their last three spreads and three of their last six at home. They also beat the Clippers 112-99 at the end of January. The Clippers have lost their last three and have failed to cover in their last four games. And on the road the Clippers have lost four of their last five and failed to cover in their last six away from home. So I like the Bulls to cover here as the underdog.
Matt Horner: Boise State -3 vs. Utah State (-115, BetMGM)
Utah State has lost just four games all season, with a 24-4 record, and is a perfect 5-0 ATS as an underdog this season. They have also covered in four straight games coming into this one, but what is really interesting is once again their team total, which is set at a very low 73.5. That is almost laughable considering what they have been doing offensively lately, scoring over this total in five straight games. In fact, they haven’t even come close to going under this number, with 79 being the fewest they have scored in that span.
Boise State has also won four of their last five and covered in them as well, but they are 19-8 on the season, slightly worse than the Aggies. They are now a -4.5 favorite at some places, showing some line movement already toward the Broncos. This again feels like a tremendous spot for Boise State at home, and I placed a wager at -3 earlier this morning. The -4.5 should still be fine.
