Victor Wembanyama over 11.5 rebounds (-118) at Chicago
BetRivers, 2:18 PM CT
Alex Barutha: Wembanyama is coming off a career-high 23 rebounds against the Nuggets, and he's averaging 11.5 rebounds since the beginning of December. This is a good spot for him to continue this run, as Chicago allows the third-most rebounds per 48 minutes (48.0) across the past 10 games.
Dereck Lively over 1.5 blocks (-160) at Memphis
BetMGM, 1:53 PM CT
Alex Barutha: Lively is averaging 1.8 blocks per game since the start of December, and this is a good spot for him to continue making an impact defensively. Though the Grizzlies are a great team, one of their weaknesses is that they often get their shots blocked. Over the past 10 games, Memphis is getting the most shots blocked per 48 minutes (6.9).
Jaden McDaniels over 1.5 steals (+123) vs. Clippers
BetRivers, 2:13 PM CT
Alex Barutha: The Clippers have struggled taking care of the ball, allowing the most opponent steals per 48 minutes (11.1) across the past 10 games. McDaniels is averaging 1.6 steals since the beginning of December, and I like getting him at plus-money in this situation to exceed his recent average.
Quentin Grimes O13.5 points at Grizzlies
BetMGM, 4:54 PM CT
Nick Whalen: Grimes is coming off of 17- and 26-point performances in his last two games and should continue to play in a featured role with both Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic sidelined. The Mavs have several reserve guards who will step up, but Grimes has been the most consistent of the bunch. In the 12 games in which he's played at least 28 minutes this season, Grimes is averaging 16.3 PPG. When he plays at least 30 minutes, that figure jumps to 19.4 PPG.
Knicks -11.5 vs. Magic
BetMGM, 4:54 PM CT
Nick Whalen: This is simply a fade of the Magic, as their injury woes may be reaching a critical mass. In addition to Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, the Magic will also be without Jalen Suggs and Gary Harris. Orlando has scored 106 or fewer points in six straight games (Suggs played in five of those), and the Magic have sunk to 29th in offense over the last 10 contests. I would also look into the U98.5 on the Magic team total.
