STAR SHOOTOUT - EARLY GAMES
MORE OR LESS
Zion Williamson MORE THAN 27.5 POINTS – A force of nature since landing in the league, Williamson has scored at least 28 points in five of the past seven games and he’s at home against a subpar Minnesota team.
Kawhi Leonard MORE THAN 26.5 POINTS – The Claw is putting up 28.7 points per game on the road this season and has scored at least 27 points in eight of his past nine road games. The Oklahoma City Thunder are better than average defensively but Kawhi appears to be in peak form right now.
Lonzo Ball MORE THAN 7.5 ASSISTS – He may be the forgotten son now that his father is touting Liangelo as a future NBA scoring champ, but Lonzo is still a playmaker, averaging 7.6 assists per home game, and has at least eight assists in 13 of his past 20 games and gets a favorable home matchup against the T-Wolves.
RAPID FIRE
Derrick Favors -0.5 rebounds vs. Steven Adams – While Favors has some ups and downs in terms of rebounding totals, he is averaging 10.7 rebounds per home game (compared to Adams averaging 9.6 rebounds per game at home) and Favors has grabbed double-digit rebounds in 12 of the past 18 games.
STAR SHOOTOUT - LATE GAMES
MORE OR LESS
Bradley Beal MORE THAN 33.5 POINTS – In his past 18 games, Beal has filled it up, averaging 36.4 points per game, scoring at least 34 in six of eight road contests during that time. Sacramento is not bad defensively but they may not be the team to shut him down.
LeBron James MORE THAN 27.5 POINTS – Although he is averaging 25.3 points per game at home, LeBron has scored at least 28 in five of the past six games and gets a matchup against a depleted Philadelphia 76ers lineup.
Pascal Siakam LESS THAN 22.5 POINTS – That’s right on Siakam’s road scoring average this season and the Suns have an average defensive record but Siakam has had some trouble away from Toronto recently, held under 20 points in four of his past five road games.
Tobias Harris MORE THAN 21.5 POINTS – The Sixers offense runs a lot through Harris now that both Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons are injured. In the past two games, that has meant 59 points on 42 field goal attempts. Even if the Sixers are overmatched in Los Angeles against the Lakers, there will still be a lot of touches for Harris and as good as the Lakers are, they don’t have a great defensive record.
RAPID FIRE
Anthony Davis +1.5 rebounds vs. Deandre Ayton – Ayton has been the better rebounder, averaging 10.7 boards per game at home, compared to Davis grabbing 10.1 per game at home but that margin is close to begin with and if Davis is facing a 76ers squad that is missing Joel Embiid that presents an even better opportunity to crash the glass and put up double-digit rebounds. If he can do that, it will be tough for Ayton to cover.
