Kawhi Leonard Highlights Best NBA Picks and Parlay Today
Kawhi Leonard o2.5 Assists (-175)
Leonard is returning from an injury, and is coming back to a very well put together Clippers team. Kawhi will be on a minutes limit tonight, but we think that him getting 3+ assists is very doable. In the last 2 season that Kawhi has played, he averaged 4.9 assists, and 5.2 assists.
Even with all the talent around Kawhi Leonard, he is still the main guy, and should have the ball in his hands a lot as he historically has a high usage rate. Stokastic’s projections have Kawhi projected at 4.1 assists, with o2.5 assists at an expected win rate of 78%.
James Harden o5.5 Rebounds (-155)
Harden and the 76ers are coming off a tough loss to the Boston Celtics, and don’t have an easy matchup today against the Milwaukee Bucks. Harden has performed very well rebounding the ball against the Bucks. In 3 games last year vs the Bucks, he averaged 7.3 rebounds and hit o5.5 rebounds in 2 out of the 3 games. Stokastic has Harden projected at 6.8 rebounds, with the projected win rate of o5.5 rebounds at 68%.
