NBA Same Game Picks
Golden State Warriors vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
-
- Leg 1: Thunder Moneyline (+145)
- Leg 2: Draymond Green Assists o6.5 (+115)
The Warriors’ road woes cannot be overstated. Golden State is an abysmal 9-22 ATS and 7-24 SU when playing away from the Chase Center, as their Pts/Poss differential plummets from 6th to 25th with the change in venue. It is worth noting that the Warriors have had OKC’s number this season, winning and covering each game– but we’ll elect to ignore this rather small sample size in favor of the Road Warriors’ entire body of work. Lastly, the advanced stats suggest the gap between these teams is not so vast, and the Thunder have also thrived on their home floor (20-14 ATS, 19-15 SU).
It’s not always a joy to bet on Draymond Green to light up the stat sheet, but we love him in this matchup. Green crossed this number with ease in these two team’s previous matchup in OKC, and the lineups will be more-or-less the same in this outing. Further, Green should continue to benefit from Steph Curry’s return to the floor, as Draymond averages 6.8 assists per game when he shares the floor with the 2x MVP.
Parlay Odds: +427

NBA Game Picks
Memphis Grizzlies vs. Los Angeles Lakers
It’s been a minute, but we might see D’Angelo Russell back on the floor for the Lakers tonight. He’s listed as questionable and hasn’t played in a game for the Lakers since Feb. 23.
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies will get back Dillon Brooks, who served a one-game suspension in Memphis’ last game due to earning his 16th technical foul. But the Grizzlies are still missing Ja Morant and won’t have Steven Adams back yet.
Memphis has lost its last two games on the road against the Nuggets and Clippers. Now they’ll face the Lakers on the road without their all-star point guard.
Memphis is shooting an effective field goal percentage of just 53.5%. They’re not getting the best of looks from the floor. However, the Grizzlies should be able to limit turnovers and earn some offensive rebounds. Getting to the foul line won’t be easy, though.
Memphis’ defense hasn’t been as good over the last two games. The Clippers just added 135 points against the Grizzlies in their last game.
The Lakers have been inconsistent this year. They’ve had so many moving parts. But this is the best Lakers team we’ll see until LeBron and Mo Bamba get back. The Lakers stunned the Warriors with a 113-105 win with Steph Curry back on the floor. The Lakers are capable of winning against any opponent moving forward. Anthony Davis needs to take control, and with Russell potentially back, he’ll at least have another genuine scoring threat on his side.
I’ll take the Lakers at -2.
Bet: Lakers -2 (-110)'

First Basket Scorer
Detroit Pistons vs. Washington Wizards
The Detroit Pistons are one of the worst teams in the NBA when it comes to winning the tipoff. That will only get worse with Isaiah Stewart’s injury. That gives the Wizards the advantage when scoring the first basket tonight.'
Kristaps Porzingis has the best chance to be the first player to score first in this matchup. He averages the most points for the Wizards with 22.8 per game and has the most significant matchup advantage. With the Stewart injury, the Pistons lack someone to defend Porzingis, giving the Latvian big man the most betting value here.'
Pick: Kristaps Porzingis (+400)

NBA Prop Bets
Gordon Hayward Under 4.5 assists (+110 DraftKings)
For your value play of the day, I am fading the former Butler Bulldog in a tough matchup on the road against the Knicks.
New York's 11th-ranked defense should mark trouble for Charlotte and their 28th-ranked offense. Without many scoring opportunities, I don't expect Hayward to reach his assist total. Not only that, but New York plays at one of the slowest paces in the league, so the possession numbers simply won't be there either.
Hayward has only averaged 3.7 assists per game, so this line I am a bit more confused by this as well. Despite overperforming of late. He is due for some solid regression, and this is the perfect opportunity for that. I'll be betting a single unit on this play.
