Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Tuesday, February 28, 2023 – 10:00 PM EST at Crypto.com Arena
Paul George (Los Angeles Clippers)
- Over 22.5 Points Scored
The Los Angeles Clippers have been playing a lot of basketball. After a double overtime game against the Sacramento Kings, the Clippers went to overtime against the Denver Nuggets. Tonight they face the Minnesota Timberwolves, and they’d like to get this game done by the end of regulation.
The Clippers averaged 149.5 points per game in the two-game overtime stretch.
The Clippers have an opportunity to get a win tonight against the Timberwolves team that is struggling. The Timberwolves have lost three games in a row. Their most recent game was a 109-104 loss to the Golden State Warriors. The Timberwolves struggled from the free-throw line. They were 11-21 from the charity stripe.
The Pick
Paul George is averaging 23.5 points per game this season. He has gone over this number in two of his last three games, including 34 points in 41 minutes against the Sacramento Kings. George should be excited to help his team get back on a winning track against the Timberwolves team that is struggling.
For the Los Angeles Clippers to be a true Championship contender, they are going to need All-Star-level play from Paul George. George will respond tonight by going over his listed point prop total
NBA Prop Pick: Paul George Over 22.5 Points (-121) at Caesars Sportsbook
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets
Tuesday, February 28, 2023 – 07:30 PM EST at Barclays Center
Brook Lopez (Milwaukee Bucks)
- Over 6.5 Rebounds
The Milwaukee Bucks have won 14 games in a row. They want to improve upon the NBA’s longest winning streak when they visit the Brooklyn Nets tonight. Brook Lopez will face his former team. Lopez is the Nets’ all-time leading scorer.
The Nets are a different team since trading their two all-stars, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The Nets are full of excellent wing players but they do lack size in the middle. Nets center Nic Claxton is one of the best centers in the league, but he is much smaller than his counterpart tonight Brook Lopez.
The Pick
Brook Lopez averages 6.6 rebounds per game but has gone over this rebounding total in six of his last seven outings. With the Nets being a smaller team and it’s an excellent opportunity for Lopez to use his size and fundamentals to grab plenty of rebounds.
The Bucks will continue their winning streak and Brook Lopez will put up another impressive statistical night.
NBA Prop Pick: Brook Lopez Over 6.5 Rebounds (+110) at BetMGM
Washington Wizards vs. Atlanta Hawks
Tuesday, February 28, 2023 – 07:30 PM EST at State Farm Arena
Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks)
The Atlanta Hawks have a new head coach. After dismissing coach Nate McMillan during the All-Star break, the Hawks have come to terms with former Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder. Snyder will make his debut as the leader of the Hawks tonight.
In the interim, Joe Prunty led the Hawks to two straight wins. The Hawks’ most recent outing was a 129-127 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
The Wizards have lost both of their games since the All-Star break. They looked lethargic in a 102-82 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. Washington will need to bounce back quickly if they are going to have a chance to make the playoffs this season.
The Pick
Nate McMillan was dismissed from the Hawks because he could not get along with their star point guard Trae Young. Snyder will attempt to build a relationship with Young tonight. Young has secured a double-double in five of his last seven games.
Trae Young will definitely get there on the points, it is the assists that we are betting on here. Young has exceeded 10 assists in five of his last seven games. Over those last seven games young has averaged 12.4 assists per game.
The Trae Young Double-Double is one of the best NBA player props that you can bet. We will continue to take advantage of this mispriced number as he records another Double-Double tonight.
NBA Prop Pick: Trae Young Double-Double / Yes (-133) at BetMGM
