Kevin Durant 25+ Points/Phoenix to Win (+135)
The Phoenix Suns are a different team when Kevin Durant is on the court, as they’re 13-2 with him this season, and they’ll host the underwhelming Indiana Pacers tonight. I don’t anticipate the Suns having any issues winning at home, and the Pacers play fast enough, where Durant should have no problems dropping at least 25 points. For a +135 player performance double, I love the price we’re getting.

Isaiah Hartenstein Double-Double/Oklahoma City to Win (+160)
The Oklahoma City Thunder have to head across the country tonight to face the Orlando Magic after they lost the NBA Cup Final in Vegas on Tuesday. While this usually wouldn’t be the best spot to back them, the Thunder are too talented and will play angrily after losing the Cup Final. The Magic are shorthanded, so we’ll expect the Thunder to get the job done on the road easily. We should also expect Isaiah Hartenstein to put together a double-double, as he’s done so in eight of eleven games this year. Plus, at +160, we’re getting a great price here.

Cade Cunningham 10+ Assists/Detroit to Win (+125)
The Detroit Pistons are five-point home favorites against the miserable Utah Jazz, so we’ll look for them to defend their home court easily. We’ll target Cade Cunningham for a +125 player performance double as he’s dished out at least ten assists in 12 of his last 16 games and is fresh off an 18-assist outing on Monday. At +125, Cade is talented enough by himself to defeat the Jazz.
LaMelo Ball 25+ Points/Charlotte to Win (+145)
LaMelo Ball has arguably been the best guard in the Eastern Conference this season, averaging 30.2 points, and now we’re getting a player performance double priced at +145 for him to score just 25 points. There is a slight concern about a potential minutes restriction as he just returned from injury on Monday night, but the Charlotte Hornets are facing a pathetic Washington Wizards squad. We’ll fade the Wizards any chance we can get.
Ja Morant 20+ Points/Memphis to Win (+135)
The Memphis Grizzlies have been the most underrated team in the Western Conference this season, and they’ve won ten of their last 12 games heading into tonight. They’ll host the Golden State Warriors tonight, and both teams are on entirely different trajectories right now. We’ll look for the home team to pull this one out. It can be challenging to gauge a player performance double, as the Grizzlies have been spreading out minutes throughout their rotation. Still, the Grizzlies always play extra-motivated against the Warriors in their new rivalry. Ja Morant has been at the forefront of this rivalry, so we expect him to score at least 20 points in a win for a +135 player performance double.
Jalen Johnson Double-Double/Atlanta to Win (+215)
The Atlanta Hawks have been playing good basketball and are slight 1.5-point underdogs on the road against the San Antonio Spurs. I like enough of what I’ve seen from the Hawks to back them on the road. We’ll target Jalen Johnson to record a double-double in the process, as he’s done so in four straight games heading into tonight. At +215, we can’t get a better value than we currently are.
Kevin Durant 25+ Points/Phoenix to Win (+135)
The Phoenix Suns are a different team when Kevin Durant is on the court, as they’re 13-2 with him this season, and they’ll host the underwhelming Indiana Pacers tonight. I don’t anticipate the Suns having any issues winning at home, and the Pacers play fast enough, where Durant should have no problems dropping at least 25 points. For a +135 player performance double, I love the price we’re getting.
