1. Jusuf Nurkic Under 22.5 Points + Rebounds (-125) vs. San Antonio Spurs
Insight: the potential return of Devin Booker (toe) for the Suns, Nurkic and Josh Okogie might find limited opportunities. Given Nurkic's traditional playing style against the young, fast-paced Spurs, it may not be a favorable matchup. If Booker's out, consider an over at DraftKings at 21.5 (-122). Fun thought: Wouldn't it be something to see the Suns sign Bol Bol just for a memorable photo?
2. Tyrese Maxey Over 24.5 Points (-110) vs. Toronto Raptors
Insight:Tyrese Maxey's rising stardom in the 2023-24 season is hard to ignore, especially with James Harden's absence. As Jason Shebilske points out, despite inconsistency in secondary stats, Maxey's scoring prowess is evident. Averaging 30.3 points and hitting a season high of 34 against the Raptors last week, another 25-point game from Maxey isn't far-fetched.
3. Killian Hayes Over 1.5 Steals (+170) at New Orleans Pelicans
Insight:If you're seeking a prop with more attractive odds, Killian Hayes might be your guy. Hayes, as Shebilske highlights, has showcased defensive finesse, managing three steals in a recent loss to the Trail Blazers and consistently disrupting plays throughout the season. With the Pelicans averaging 14 turnovers, Hayes might just have another multi-steal night.
