Kyrie Irving M/L Than 38.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Kyrie Irving has been on an absolute tear throughout his past six games.
In that span, Irving has averaged 30.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. His usage rate for the entire season is 26.3%, but during this six-game span it’s risen to 30%.
His production levels were expected to increase considering he lost his sidekick in Luka Doncic to the Lakers, as well as several other teammates due to injuries. What’s been impressive is the consistency of those results regardless of the expectations.
With all of that being said – I’m looking to sell high on Irving. This is the peak of his betting market given what’s transpired with his production levels as of late. Plus. this is a difficult matchup against a Milwaukee Bucks defense that ranks 8th in effective field goal percentage.
Furthermore, Stokastic’s NBA DFS projections have Irving finishing with 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, which is comfortably under this prop mark.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Kyrie Irving Less Than 38.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
DeMar DeRozan M/L 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
The Sacramento Kings are set to face one of the premier defenses in the Association. The Houston Rockets enter this contest ranking 2nd in defensive effective field goal percentage and 3rd in points per 100 possessions allowed.
If you’ve watch just a few minutes of DeMar DeRozan playing hoops, then you are aware that he lives and dies from mid-range territory. Unfortunately for him – the Rockets are 1st in opponent field goal success allowed from mid-range.
This matchup could prove to be very frustrating for the veteran forward. We, however, should look to take advantage of his mismatch and bet the under. He likely won’t produce enough in the assists and rebounds column either, considering he’s averaging just four per game in each category.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: DeMar DeRozan Less Than 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
