Alperen Sengun 12+ Rebounds/Houston to Win (+245)
The Houston Rockets dropped an ugly one in their season opener to the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night, but we like the prospects of them getting in the win column tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies. While the Grizzlies deserve a ton of respect, they need time to build some chemistry up, and the Rockets will ideally play much more determined basketball after how they lost their first game. We’ll look for Alperen Sengun to grab 12 rebounds in the winning effort, as he grabbed 18 rebounds off of 27 rebound chances on Wednesday. Walker Kessler recorded 13 rebounds against the Grizzlies, so we believe Sengun can get us 12. At +245, we’re getting awesome value here.
Tyrese Maxey 30+ Points/Philadelphia to Win (+160)
The shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers dropped their season opener to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, and they now hit the road to Canada to face a far inferior Toronto Raptors team. We like the 76ers to get into the win column tonight, and we'll expect Tyrese Maxey to propel them to the victory with a 30-point outing. On Wednesday, Maxey dropped just 25 points, but it was on a relatively inefficient 10-31 shooting performance. I expect it to be a focal point heading into tonight to make Maxey more efficient, and based on his volume, expecting 30 points is entirely reasonable. At +160, we love the price we're getting.
Mikal Bridges 15+ Points/New York to Win (+160)
Mikal Bridges has caught some attention for all the wrong reasons, as his shooting form has changed, and it appears not for the better. Regardless, he still dropped 16 points in the blowout season-opening loss to the Boston Celtics. Still, tonight is a dual revenge spot for the New York Knicks as they'll look to bounce back after getting embarrassed while also getting to face the Indiana Pacers after they eliminated them in the Eastern Conference Semifinals last season. At +160, we'll expect Bridges to eclipse the 15-point mark in his home debut while the Knicks squeak out a win.
Dyson Daniels 2+ Threes/Atlanta to Win (+220)
We were on Dyson Daniels and the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night for eight points from Daniels and a Hawks win and cashed comfortably as Daniels dropped 15 points in the winning effort. Tonight, while you could also take him to record 10 points alongside a Hawks win over the Charlotte Hornets, we'll seek more value by looking for him to drill two threes from beyond the arc for a +220 player performance double. He went just 2-4 from deep on Wednesday, but he combined for 13 shot attempts from beyond the arc in the Hawks' final two preseason games, so I believe there is more to be had in the tank here from Daniels.
Damian Lillard 8+ Assists/Milwaukee to Win (+155)
Damian Lillard shined in his season debut against the Philadelphia 76ers, where he dropped 30 points, grabbed nine boards, and dished out six assists. His Milwaukee Bucks have their home opener tonight against the Chicago Bulls, and instead of looking for him to score the rock, there is a lot of value to be had in the assist column. Despite just recording six assists, he had a staggering 18 potential assists, so hopefully, there will be some positive regression in store tonight. We’ll look for him to give us eight dimes in a Bucks win, giving us a desirable +155 player performance double.
Alperen Sengun 12+ Rebounds/Houston to Win (+245)
