Today's Best Bets
Domantas Sabonis o16.5 A/R (-105) | Lucky Rebel
We're going right back to Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings. It feels like the minutes restrictions have been lifted and he's ready to get back to regularly scheduled programming. Sabonis is averaging just 24.7 minutes per game but still recording 9.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. He's cleared this line twice now since coming back and just played 33 minutes in a 16-point loss to the Knicks on Tuesday.
That's the second time in his last three games that Sabonis has cleared 30 minutes and the one game in between was a 23-point blowout loss to the Pistons in which he played 25 minutes through three quarters. Sabonis cleared this line with ease in both matchups last year, recording 35 total rebounds and 19 total assists across the two matchups.
Philly ranks 20th in rebounds allowed this year, 25th in opponent offensive rebound rate and 27th in assists allowed. Sabonis has cleared this line in five straight matchups with the 76ers and this year's team might be one of the worst.
Ryan Rollins o35.5 PRA (-110)| Lucky Rebel
Giannis is still out; Kevin Porter Jr. is still out. In 7 games this year without both Giannis and Porter Jr., Rollins is averaging 24.7 points, 7.3 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game. He's shooting 50% from the field in these games, 39.2% from deep and he's cleared this line in 6 of the 7 games.
He has been great in his first year as a full time starter for the Bucks, averaging 16.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game; all career highs.
The Wizards rank 29th in points allowed, 30th in rebounds allowed and 29th in assists allowed this year. They've been terrible on defense and yet they play at a top-5 pace in the NBA. Washington ranks 30th in opponent offensive rebound rate Rollins can take advantage. In these 7 games without Giannis/KPJ he's averaging 1.6 offensive rebounds per game.
Rollins finished with 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists against Philly. He had 3 offensive rebounds in that game and despite just 4 assists he did finish the night with 16 potential assists. Tonight is an even better matchup and against the team that cut him less than two years ago.
Let's finish it off with a little narrative. Rollins was drafted by the Warriors and was part of the package that sent Jordan Poole to the Wizards. The Wizards waived Rollins in January of 2024 and he signed a two-way contract with the Bucks about a month later. He played just 10 games for the Wizards and never got the opportunity to showcase what he can do.
Now he returns as a starter for Milwaukee, averaging career highs across the board. He played the Warriors in a similar situation this year, finished with 32 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists.
Dyson Daniels o13.5 A/R (-110) | Lucky Rebel
This one's a bit chalky, but with so many guys potentially sitting this one out; I had to push the button. Both the Hawks and Rockets enter tonight's game on the second night of a back to back, with travel included. The Hawks were in Boston last night and came away with the win over the Celtics, while the Rockets suffered a loss at home to the rival Spurs.
For the Hawks, Onyeka Okongwu will be out after taking a shot to the face last night, Jalen Johnson remains questionable with an ankle sprain and both Porziņģis and Risacher remain out.
For the Rockets they just lost one of their best rebounders in Steven Adams and could be without Alperen Sengun. Sengun tweaked his ankle in last night's game and was forced to leave the floor for a short period. He would come back and finish the game but with this being a back to back, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw him rest tonight.
Houston will also be without Tari Eason tonight due to scheduled injury maintenance. That means 2 of their top 5 rebounders will be out for sure, potentially 3.
Daniels sits top-5 among all guards in the NBA in offensive rebounding and all the guys ahead of him could be considered 'hybrid forwards'. He's the only true guard in the top 5 and it's because of his endless motor. Daniels has cleared this line in 7 of his last 10 games, averaging a total of 14.7 combined assists/rebounds. He's averaging 11.5 potential assists, 12.4 rebounds chances per game and 2.3 offensive rebounds per game in that 10 game span.
Cooper Flagg o5.5 Rebounds (-130) | Lucky Rebel
The Hornets are on the 2nd night of a back to back, traveling to Dallas to take on the Mavericks. This will be the first time we see the former Duke teammates go head to head in the NBA. Cooper Flagg was taken with the 1st overall pick in this year's NBA Draft and Kon Knueppel was taken 4th by the Charlotte Hornets.
Flagg's averaging 18.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in his rookie year. He's the clear favorite right now to win the NBA's Rookie of the Year Award and he's even averaging 2.0 stocks per game (steals/blocks). Flagg's been great in his rookie year and in games with Anthony Davis we've seen him smash the glass. He's cleared this line in 17/23 games without AD and looks to do it once again tonight.
