This is a bet we’ve been running out often lately, as the books seem to undervalue Jaylen Brown being off the court’s impact on White. He has cleared this total in 20 of his last 30 games, with Tatum in the lineup and Brown out. His usage jumps to 23.9% (from 18.5% overall) with the Tatum on / Brown off split.
The Jazz’s defense is terrible, but they have a habit of playing their best players against good teams and, therefore, keeping games close. RotoGrinders has White projected at just over 20 points.
Pick: Derrick White Over 17.5 Points (-108)

I’m loving the under here. The Hornets are in tank mode, and I expect this game to get out of hand.
The Thunder should be able to take care of business, and Hartenstein should be able to take a seat early in this game. This has been a staple for me when available, so I’m hoping it falls in our favor tonight.
Pick: Isaiah Hartenstein Under 3.5 Assists (-115)

By Nick Galaida
The Clippers have been off each of the last two nights, so there shouldn’t be any surprises on the injury report, especially with them still fighting for a top-6 seed in the Western Conference playoff picture.
This season, Harden has gone under this number in 13 of 17 games in which Kawhi Leonard, Norman Powell, and Ivica Zubac have been active, including 9 of 12 home games. Harden would likely need to make double-digit free throws to have a chance to get to 25 points in this matchup. The math favors the under here
Pick: James Harden Under 22.5 Points (-110)
