There are 9 games in the NBA Friday night with a lot of appealing matchups. Four games have a line of 3.5 points or fewer and 5 games have a total of at least 229 points with the Grizzlies-Lakers game the highest at 243 points. Here are my picks for tonight.
Bam Adebayo over 31.5 points+rebounds (-125)
Adebayo has become more aggressive offensively as the season has gone on. After averaging 12.3 shots from the field in the first month of the season, Adebayo is averaging 18 shots per game in January. The Heat center has gone over this total in 8 of the last 9 games. The game he fell short, Adebayo only played 28 minutes and shot 5-for-15 from the field. He has scored at least 20 points in 10 of the last 11 games and at least 11 rebounds in 6 of the last 8 games. The Mavericks will be without Christian Wood and they allow the fourth most points and rebounds to centers.
