Richaun Holmes over 29.5 P+R+A (-113) @ WAS -- FanDuel, 1:14 PM CT
The Wizards have one of the worst center rotations in the NBA, and Holmes has been awesome lately. Across the past seven games, he's averaged 16.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 34.1 minutes. His past four games have been outstanding, with 17.3 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 35.5 minutes. I'm banking on him continuing his hot streak against minimal resistance.

Richaun Holmes to record double-double (-190) - DraftKings Sportsbook (1:35 PM CT)
These odds should be close to -335 so while it's not exactly a great bit of value, consider this an easy parlay piece for you to use. Holmes already had four straight games with a double-double prior to Marvin Bagley fracturing his hand, and the unfortunate injury should only ensure a minutes boost. It certainly helps the Kings play a putrid Wizards frontcourt.

Milwaukee Bucks -5.5 (-110) at Philadelphia 76ers -- DraftKings Sportsbook
The Bucks are running hot of late, and while the Sixers loom as one of the major roadblocks in the East, they're without their best player and MVP candidate. The downgrade from Joel Embiid to Tony Bradley/Dwight Howard is massive, and while that combo can hold its own defensively, the Sixers will sorely miss Embiid's offensive contributions. As long as the Bucks can slow down Tobias Harris and keep Ben Simmons in check, I like their chances to roll to a fairly comfortable win on the road.

Richaun Holmes OVER 10.5 REBOUNDS vs. Wizards (MGM Sportsbook)
Holmes has beaten this number in four straight contests. His opportunity increases with Bagley's fractured hand. It's hard to find a more reliable prop today.
Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 12.5 REBOUNDS vs. Sixers (MGM Sportsbook)
No doubt a high threshold for Giannis, but if you factor in Embiid's absence and Antetokunmpo's penchant for competitive games, it's not hard to see Giannis dominating the interior when an errant shot bounces off the rim. He's also snagged 13 or more rebounds in 14 of 38 games this season.
