Grading D'Angelo Russell's debut with Timberwolves

Tuesday: 1-2 (-1.24 units)

Season: 13-19 (-8.05 units)

Recap: Took yesterday off from doing props for obvious reasons, but on Tuesday, Kyrie’s numbers without Durant were great, while Jokic decided to remind people that his scoring his better than his passing.


First Pick: Sixers -4 spread vs BKN (-112)

Fact #1: Durant (health protocols) is already out and apparently so is Kyrie Irving (personal reasons).

Fact #2: Seth Curry (ankle) is out for the Sixers.

Fact #3: I know this is the third game in four nights for Philly, but they’re rolling and I’m not sure how the Nets keep this within 4 with north of 50 points missing from the starting lineup this evening.

Second Pick: Joe Harris O2.5 made 3pters (+100)

Fact #1: The Sixers are allowing 27.6 PPG to the 2-guard position this season.

Fact #2: Harris has 3+ made 3s in three of his last six contests.


Third Pick: Kyle Anderson O13.5 pts vs CLE (-110)

Fact #1: Yes, I know I missed with him on Tuesday, but today is Thursday (lol).

Fact #2: The Cavs allow an average of 25.3 PPG to the PF position, which is the second-most in the Association.

Fact #3: Anderson has eclipsed 18+ in four of his last six.


Fourth Pick: D’Angelo Russell O22.5 pts vs POR (-110)

Fact #1: The Blazers are allowing a league-high 35.9 PPG to the point guard position — that’s all you need to know.

Memphis Grizzlies 2019-2020 Player Previews: Kyle Anderson - Grizzly Bear Blues

Monday: 1-2 (-1.15 units)

Season: 12-17 (-6.81 units)

Recap: The Sixers look great and continue to be a strong 1st quarter spread play. The Bucks scored 125 points and it felt like Giannis scored all of them instead of DiVincenzo. Fox finished 5 points shy of his over and the Kings getting blown out early did us no favors.


First Pick: Kyle Anderson O13.5 pts vs LAK (-118)

Fact #1: Anderson is averaging 18.6 PPG over his last five contests, including 18+ in four of those outings.

Fact #2: In the first game of this series, he totaled 18 on a season-high 19 shots, despite going 1-for-8 from beyond the arc.

Fact #3: The Lakers allow an average of 26 PPG to the small forward position.


Second Pick: Kyrie Irving O27.5 pts vs UTA (-132)

Fact #1: Durant (health and safety protocols) is out tonight, missing his second game of the young season.

Fact #2: There’s an average of 17.5 shots per game up for grabs this evening.

Fact #3: In his first 10 games in BK last season without Durant, Irving averaged 28 PPG and I would expect a similar full-game effort tonight.

That 2nd pick was TLC until I saw he wasn’t starting tonight.


Third Pick: Nikola Jokić U24.5 pts vs MIN (-120)

Fact #1: Joker is leading the league in assists per game at 12.8, which shows he’s focused more on doing more in the offense than just scoring.

Fact #2: Joker has scored 25+ against the Kings twice this season and is 0-4 at that number against everyone else, including a 19-point triple-double effort in the first game of this 2-game series.


Fourth Pick: Clippers -2.5 1st quarter spread vs SAS (-118)

Fifth and Sixth Picks: Paul George O3.5 Made 3Pters (-134) and O24.5 points (-110) vs SAS

PG has been ruled out tonight with an ankle injury, so I’m not playing Clippers -3 1dt quarter spread anymore.
