Los Angeles Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors
Thursday, March 2, 2023 – 10:00 PM EST at Chase Center
Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors)
- Over 25.5 Points Scored
When the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers take the court tonight, the team’s respective playoff positions will be on the line. The teams are currently tied for 5th place in the Western Conference, and a head-to-head win will mean a two-game edge in the standings. Both teams will be eager to take advantage of this opportunity.
The Warriors come into this game having won three games in a row. The Clippers come into this game having lost three games in a row. Yet the Clippers are favored by the NBA odds.
The Pick
The Warriors have to be pleased with their recent success missing their two best players, Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins. Klay Thompson has been key during this stretch.
Thompson has gone over the posted total in two of his last three games, including a 42-point outburst in Houston. He has been fantastic and his beautiful shooting stroke has been on display as he has been money from behind the 3-point arc.
Klay Thompson is a player who always shines in the biggest games of the year. He will have that opportunity tonight. When the pressure is on, Thompson will respond by going over his listed point prop total.
NBA Prop Pick: Klay Thompson Over 25.5 Points (-117) at BetRivers
Toronto Raptors vs. Washington Wizards
Thursday, March 2, 2023 – 07:00 PM EST at Capital One Arena
Kristaps Porzingis (Washington Wizards)
- Over 7.5 Rebounds
The Washington Wizards and Toronto Raptors will begin a two-game set against each other played in Washington. The Raptors are currently in 9th place in the East and the Wizards are in 10th place.
These games will be important to both teams. The Wizards can either close the gap with the Raptors, or the Raptors can put some space between them and the Wizards in the standings.
The Pick
Kristaps Porzingis has gone over this rebounding total in six of his last seven games when facing the Toronto Raptors.
In the last seven times Porzingis has played against the Raptors, he is averaging 10.7 rebounds per game, clearly ahead of his listed rebounding total. Porzingis will continue to take advantage of the smaller Raptors team and grab plenty of rebounds to go over his prop total tonight.
NBA Prop Pick: Kristaps Porzingis Over 7.5 Rebounds (-125) at Caesars Sportsbook
Indiana Pacers vs. San Antonio Spurs
Thursday, March 2, 2023 – 08:30 PM EST at AT&T Center
Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers)
The San Antonio Spurs ended a 16-game losing streak in their last outing, a 102-94 win over the Utah Jazz. The Pacers are on a two-game winning streak after winning as large underdogs against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.
The Mavericks were favored by 8.5 points of NBA odds, but Indiana got the straight-up win 124-122. Myles Turner scored 24 points for the Pacers in the upset victory.
The Pick
The San Antonio Spurs lack size in the middle of the floor. The Spurs traded their best defender, Jakob Poeltl, at the trade deadline. Myles Turner will be able to take advantage of that.
The Spurs lack the size to keep Turner off the glass. In the three games since the All-Star break, Turner is averaging 29.3 points per game on 69.3% shooting. He was efficient in the win on Tuesday, making 10-13 of his field goals
Myles Turner has recorded double-doubles in five of his last 10 games. However, this is the most advantageous matchup he has faced and tonight the books have not properly accounted for the Spurs’ weakness in the middle. We will take advantage of this mispriced number as Turner records another Double-Double tonight.
