Christian Wood to Score 25+ Points (+490)
Wood's play has gotten a lot of praise in his first 2 games with the Mavericks, so much that people are questioning whether or not head coach Jason Kidd should insert him into the starting line-up. He has been a huge lift for the Mavs off the bench against the Suns and Grizzlies, in just 24.5 minutes per game he is averaging 25 points as well as 10 rebounds. He has been really efficient from the field as well connecting on 55% of his attempts and half of his three-point shots. His consistent attacking of the basket has resulted in 12 free throw attempts per game as well. Not having to potentially deal with Zion Williamson would be a huge boost for him on offense, outside of Jonas Valanciunas the Pelicans aren't that deep when it comes to paint protection. Wood has over 20 points in 3 of his last 6 games vs New Orleans as a member of the Houston Rockets, I think he is capable of having yet another solid scoring game here.
