26th March NBA Picks
Just a four game slate in the NBA tonight, but there’s interest in a couple of players who could be the beneficiary of the injury report.
LA Lakers @ Milwaukee Bucks: D’Angelo Russell 7+ Assists & Austin Reaves 15+ Points (1.9, bet365)
The man pictured, LeBron James is set to sit out on the first night of this B2B for LA Lakers, which means starters Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves and Hachimura are in for some significant bumps in usage.
LeBron has missed only 9 games all season, and these desired stats have landed in 8 of those:
- Reaves 18 Points, Russell 11 Assists vs Portland
- Reaves 15 Points, Russell 10 Assists vs Spurs
- Reaves 20 Points, Russell 8 Assists vs Timberwolves
- Reaves 19 Points, Russell 8 Assists vs Jazz
- Reaves 12 Points, Russell 10 Assists vs Clippers
- Reaves 32 Points, Russell 14 Assists vs Celtics
- Reaves 22 Points, Russell 17 Assists vs Jazz
- Reaves 16 Points, Russell 9 Assists vs Warriors
- Reaves 18 Points, Russell 9 Assists vs Bucks
These two players should see heavy involvement tonight, especially if the game stays close.
Model Predictions have Austin Reaves projected for 19.1 Points, and D’Angelo Russell for 7.8 Assists. Happy to take this based on the stats and projections.
