NBA SGP predictions: Cavaliers vs. 76ers
After scoring only 23 points in his last game against the Houston Rockets on Monday, Embiid left many of his 25-plus point backers in shambles. The Philadelphia 76ers didn't need Embiid's offense against the Rockets' defense, but they certainly will against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As I have this prop priced at -560, you're getting fair odds on Embiid to score 25-plus points.
Harden has scored 20-plus points in four straight games, and I think he's finally returning to his scoring ways. The 76ers need Harden to score if they're going to win the NBA Finals. For a while, Harden was just creating offense for everyone else. We can price this prop at -525 with Harden projected to score 21.8 points, exceeding his prop total of 19.5 points.
Embiid disappointed everyone not only with his points but also with his rebounding in his last game. It doesn't scare me at all to bet on this prop on Wednesday, and if anything, it will help us get a favorable price. As Embiid is projected to grab 10.9 rebounds against the Cavaliers, we can price this prop at -420.
Allen has grabbed eight or more rebounds in 12 straight games, and the projections predict he will make it 13 games in a row. This prop can be priced at -515 for Allen to grab eight or more rebounds based on his projected rebound total of 11.4 boards.
NBA SGP predictions: Mavericks vs. Nuggets
Jokic could have a field day against the Dallas Mavericks, who have no defensive presence on the interior. The Mavericks just allowed Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert to score 21 points on 9-for-9 shooting from the field on Monday. As I have Jokic priced at -580 to score 20-plus points, there isn't much of an edge, You're essentially getting a fair price on an outcome I favor a lot.
We might see another epic statline from Jokic on Wednesday, and if he misses out on a triple-double, it won't be due to his rebounding. Jokic is projected to grab 13.2 rebounds against the Mavericks, exceeding his FanDuel line of 12.5 rebounds.
The Mavericks have relied heavily on Doncic to get rebounds on the interior since trading for guard Kyrie Irving. This is evident from watching them play and from the box score. Doncic grabbed nine and 12 rebounds in his first two games with Irving. I priced Doncic at -655 to grab six-plus rebounds, in line with FanDuel's pricing.
The Mavericks are 0-2 with Doncic and Irving playing together, but Irving has scored 20-plus points in both games, and projections predict that he will do it again. The projected point total for Irving against the Denver Nuggets is 28.2 points, so this prop can be priced at -570.
NBA SGP predictions: Pelicans vs. Lakers
A matchup against the Lakers is always personal for Ingram, who has averaged 25.9 points per game against the Lakers over his 10 career games against them. Ingram is projected to score 26.8 points on Wednesday, which is more than his FanDuel line of 25.5 points.
Davis has averaged 17.3 rebounds per game over his last three contests and is projected to grab 12.2 boards on Wednesday. The alternate total of 10-plus rebounds can be priced at -715 with this projection.
The Pelicans matchup is personal for Davis, much like Ingram's matchup with the Lakers. In the absence of LeBron James, Davis hasn't scored as much as one might expect, but Jame s is questionable to return on Wednesday. Whether James plays or not, I like Davis to cash the Over on his points total of 25.5 against the Pelicans, which is why I'm comfortable including the -700 for Davis to score 20 or more points.
Valanciunas is going to be needed to keep Davis off the glass, and he grabbed 14 rebounds in his last game against the Lakers on February 4. Valanciunas is projected to grab 10.9 rebounds against the Lakers, so we can price an alternate total of eight-plus rebounds at -410.
