76ers vs. Hawks Player Prop Pick
Quentin Grimes Over 14.5 Points (-105)
Quentin Grimes should remain in the 76ers' starting lineup tonight with V.J. Edgecombe doubtful.
He put up 16 points in 31 minutes last time out in place of Kelly Oubre Jr.
Grimes has averaged over 16 points per game when he’s reached 30 minutes this season.
I have him projected at 30 minutes tonight.
Pick: Quentin Grimes Over 14.5 Points (-105)
Nets vs. Pistons Prop Bet
Nic Claxton Over 10.5 Points (+102)
Action PRO is projecting 12.04 points for Nic Claxton in the Nets' matchup against the Pistons tonight, presenting an excellent 16.2% edge against his current prop line of over/under 10.5, which is good enough to tag the Over with an A- grade in our database.
After missing a handful of games early in the month of February, Claxton returned to the Nets' lineup on Feb. 22, and he's played in six-of-seven games since then.
In those six games since he returned, Claxton has scored 12+ points in five of them, while eclipsing 15+ points in two of those contests.
We will go ahead and lock in Over 10.5 Points as our best bet. However, you could also consider sprinkling 12+ Points (+135) or 15+ Points (+335) at DraftKings.
Pick: Nic Claxton Over 10.5 Points (+102)
Warriors vs. Thunder Player Prop Prediction
Jared McCain Over 9.5 Points (-120)
Action PRO is projecting 12.03 points for Jared McCain in the Thunder's matchup against the Warriors tonight, showing a massive 23.2% edge against his current prop line of over/under 9.5, which is strong enough to mark the Over with an A+ grade in our system.
The Thunder acquired McCain at the trade deadline, and he has played in 12 games with the team since then.
After taking two games to get acclimated (less than 14 minutes in his first two games), McCain has now played 19+ minutes in seven of his last 10 outings, while playing less than 15 minutes only once during that span, which came on the front end of a back-to-back set.
That recent bump in playing time has resulted in an uptick in scoring production as well.
McCain has scored 10+ points in eight of his last 10 games, while reaching 12+ points in six of those contests; and getting all the way up 20+ points in three of them.
Our best bet is Over 9.5 Points. However, you could also consider climbing the ladder up to 15+ Points (+270) or 20+ Points (+810) at DraftKings.
Pick: Jared McCain Over 9.5 Points (-120)
