NBA props for Tuesday, Feb. 13: Foxy move

Given that we had the Super Bowl over the weekend, I could not even remember what my picks were on Friday. I looked it up and it was a 1-2 day (Michael Porter Jr. did not play to try and save the day). The one that burns is that Jayson Tatum points under. Instead of clobbering the hapless Wizards, they actually needed his points on Friday night. 

Tonight there are only six games on the schedule. The headliners are the Kings at the Suns. Lots of star power in that one. 

Results to Date: 87-143, -230.1 Units 


NBA Props for Tuesday, Feb. 13 

Jalen Williams More Points than Franz Wagner (+140)

I know, Wagner is on a heater right now, multiple 30+ point games in February. Williams has been feeling good too though, with 30+ in his last game. This is an underrated matchup between the Thunder and Magic and I think Williams is worth a shot at a nice payoff this evening. Look for a close game where these guys are matched against each other a lot. I thought the price would be more like +110 so it is a hit. 

Chet Holmgren Over 3.5 Steals and Blocks (+110)

The lanky rookie is also a nice bet at over 2.5 blocks for +100 but I like the better payoff and the ability to hedge with steals because he gets those too. He has bested this on four of his last six games and on some nights he is getting there on blocks alone. The last time he had a game without a block was all the way back on Jan. 11. That is a nice foundation to build on.

De'Aaron Fox More Points than Devin Booker +154

Booker is averaging 28 ppg to Fox's 26 ppg so far this season. I like this bet because the Suns have proven they cannot guard Fox, who has a couple of 30+ point games in Phoenix already this season. In contrast, Booker has not scored more than 28 points against Sacramento this season. Fox has been a little quiet this month creating a fun buy-low opportunity with a great payoff. 

Deandre Ayton 10+ Rebounds (+100) Alt Line

He might not be much more than that, but Ayton is one of the most productive rebounders in the league. I noticed his total tonight (8.5) was heavily juiced and found this alt line. He is averaging over 10 rpg for the season just so you know and had 17 in his last game. He missed the previous time these teams have played.
