Andre Drummond OVER 12.5 Rebounds (-105)
Joel Embiid is out for the Sixers tonight, which means we're "privileged" to see extended minutes for Andre Drummond tonight at home against the Blazers.
Crashing the glass is what Drummond was brought into do, and with Embiid's 8.7 boards/game up for grabs, with a good 8-12 minutes more on the court, he should clear this number easily.
I have some concern about whether Doc Rivers decides to play small, but Drummond will tower over everyone on the court and has already had three double digit rebound games in barely over 20 minutes on the court. Portland is the third-best rebounding team in the NBA, and Vegas expects a close game with the Sixers as 1.5-point favorites, so look for Drummond to play and be active down the stretch as well. -- Ben Heisler
Kemba Walker UNDER 16.5 Points (-135)
Walker is on a bit of a heater after a slow start to his Knicks tenure, but I'm selling his scoring streak on Monday.
Walker has scored 19 or more in three straight games, but will be going up against a top seven defense in the Toronto Raptors. On top of that, both teams are in the bottom four in terms of pace.
With a limited amount of possessions and a focus on defense, I think we see Walker's role limited considering he is struggling on the defensive end at this stage in his career. -- Reed Wallach
Zach LaVine OVER 23.5 Points (-125)
Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls will head on the road to Boston to face the Celtics on Monday night. LaVine, despite a thumb injury, is averaging 25.5 points per game this season and has a player prop of just 23.5 points against Boston’s No. 20-ranked defense (107.7 defensive rating).
This season, LaVine has fallen below this prop line just two times, and he’s been an efficient scorer, shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 40.5 percent form 3.This Bulls’ offense (No. 10 in offensive rating) has been much improved this season with Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan in the fold, and I think it makes things easy for LaVine tonight. Give me the over.-- Peter Dewey
Dejounte Murray OVER 7.5 assists (-105)
Dejounte Murray has established himself as the main ball distributer for the San Antonio Spurs, and he's surpassed his assist total of 7.5 tonight in four of six games this season. The only two games that he didn't have at least eight assists, he finished with six and seven respectively.
Murray also had a 15 assist performance on October 26th against the Lakers, so he's capable of blowing this total out of the water and making this wager a sweat-free win. He's clearly distributing the ball at a higher rate this season compared to the rest of his career, so jumping on the OVER is the play to make until the sportsbooks adjust accordingly. -- Iain McMillian
