Best Bets
Kristaps Porzingis under 7.5 rebounds (-135) vs. Knicks
PointsBet, 4:24 PM CT
Alex Barutha: This is about as chalk as it gets for a player prop, as essentially every book is on 7.5 shaded to the under or at 6.5. But it makes sense, as New York has allowed the fewest rebounds per game to centers. Ironically, Porzingis has played all three teams allowing the fewest boards to centers, which also includes the Timberwolves and 76ers. Against the Knicks on Opening Night, he had 8; he had 5 against the Wolves; he had 6 against the 76ers. This game also has a low over/under of 221.5.
Same-game parlay: Jakob Poeltl 13+ points and 10+ rebounds; Dennis Schroder 8+ assists and 2+ steals vs. Wizards (+1316)
FanDuel, 4:33 PM CT
Alex Barutha: Washington allows the most points and rebounds to centers, and this is a significant pace-up spot for Toronto. The Wizards are first in pace, while the Raptors rank 26th. Poeltl's workload has been a bit inconsistent, but he's still averaging 10.0 points and 8.1 rebounds in 24.8 minutes. Washington also allows the most assists and steals to point guards, while Schroder is averaging 7.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.0 minutes.
Zach LaVine O23.5PTS at Milwaukee Bucks
DraftKings Sportsbook, 3:30pm CT
Nick Whalen: LaVine's scoring is down slightly to begin the year, but that's mostly because he's shooting only 32 percent from beyond the arc. Milwaukee has been one of the worst defenses in the league thus far, and the Bucks also rank in the top-half of the NBA in three-point attempts and three-point percentage allowed to opponents. This should also be a major pace-up game for Chicago, as the Bucks play at the fifth-fastest pace in the NBA.
