🎁🏀 Fontaine’s 5 NBA Day-After-Christmas Plays

“Leftovers Still Slap” Edition

Christmas is over, the wrapping paper is gone, and the fridge is still full.

You know what else is still hot?NBA volume, bad defenses, and stars who don’t take nights off.

We’re not reinventing the wheel today — we’re eating the leftovers the RIGHT way. Two plays. Two clean spots. No chasing. Just hoopers doing hooper things.

Let’s get to it.

🔥 PLAY #1

Paolo Banchero OVER 24.5 POINTS vs. Hornets

This is a classic bounce-back + usage spot.

Paolo just came off a quiet night to end a road trip, but don’t let that fool you — the role hasn’t changed, the minutes haven’t changed, and the green light DEFINITELY hasn’t changed.

With Orlando still missing key scoring help, Paolo is:

• Taking 20+ shots

• Living at the free-throw line

• Operating as the clear offensive engine

Now he gets a Hornets team that’s struggling defensively, especially against strong, physical forwards who can score at all three levels.

At home.Against a team that doesn’t defend.With volume locked in.

We don’t overthink these.

🔥 PLAY #2

Brandon Ingram OVER 2.5 MADE THREES vs. Wizards (+140)

Yes… +140 👀

The Wizards are doing something special right now — and by special, I mean letting everyone shoot open threes.

They’re allowing the most made threes in the NBA over the past couple of weeks, and Ingram is quietly in one of his best shooting stretches of the season.

Here’s why I love this:

• He’s made multiple threes in 7 straight games

• Shooting with confidence

• Defense is optional in Washington

• We’re getting PLUS MONEY on a player already clearing this number regularly

This isn’t asking Ingram to turn into Steph Curry — it’s asking him to keep doing what he’s already been doing against one of the weakest perimeter defenses in basketball.

Value is value.

🧠 HOW I’M PLAYING IT

• These are straight plays I’m comfortable with

• You can ladder lightly if you’re feeling spicy

• Or parlay them if you want a little after-Christmas dessert 🍰

But the key today is discipline.

No forcing action.No chasing Christmas losses.Just clean, confident basketball bets.

🔒 FINAL WORD

The holidays don’t end the grind — they just change the pace.

Today is about:✔ Usage✔ Matchups✔ Confidence

And both of these plays check all three boxes.

You can’t win if you don’t lock it in, twin. 🔒— Reeky Fontaine
