Fact #1: The Pacers are allowing an average of 25 PPG to the two-guard position over their last seven games.

Obligatory homer picks incoming…

Fourth Pick: Kyrie Irving O24.5 pts vs ATL (-118)

Fact #1: Irving has hit this number in three of four games since Harden’s arrival

Fact #2: The Hawks allow an average of 25 PPG to the PG position over their last seven.


Fifth Pick: James Harden O9.5 assists vs ATL (+107)

Fact #1: Harden has recorded double-digit assists in five of six games since joining Brooklyn and this game should be very high-paced as the previous two matchups were.


Sixth Pick: Nets -5.5 vs ATL (-110)

Fact #1: The Nets are catching the Hawks in their third-game-in-four-nights and they struggled to get past a Kawhi and PG13-less Clippers team last night.


Seventh Pick: Bucks -2.5 1st quarter vs TOR (-108)

Fact #1: The Bucks are an NBA-best 12-4 against the 1st quarter spread this season. Yes, Toronto is 11-6, but they will be with OG Anunoby, while Siakam is a game-time decision.
