By Joe Dellera
Tyrese Haliburton is absolutely on fire lately. He is coming into this ultimate Pace-Up spot against the Hawks with six straight double-doubles and looks to build on that here.
Haliburton has started to look more like himself, as it seems he’s consistently been dealing with injuries, including one coming into the season where he re-aggravated his hamstring during the Olympics.
Over this six game stretch, Haliburton is averaging 12.5 assists on 21 potentials per game. Now, he gets a matchup against a Hawks team that allows the sixth-most assists per game to their opponents.
I like this price on him to record a Double-Double, but if the line moves past -180, Over 10.5 assists is also a viable option.
Pick: Tyrese Haliburton to Record a Double-Double (-165)

[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”Keon Johnson Over 3.5 Rebounds (-110)” subtext=”Nets vs Hornets, 6:00 p.m. ET” center=”false” logo1url=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/07/brooklyn-nets-logo-updated-2023.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/brooklyn-nets” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Keon Johnson’s minutes have ticked down with Cam Thomas back in the mix for the Nets, but Cam Johnson has been ruled out tonight.
That should open up plenty of minutes on the wing. Johnson has been one of Brooklyn’s most active rebounders recently, ranking behind only the two centers (Nic Claxton, Day’Ron Sharpe) in rebound chances over the past 15 games. He’s averaging 5.1 RPG in that stretch.
The Hornets struggled mightily on the glass of late. They’re giving up exactly 50 rebounds per game over the last 10 contests. That only ranks 28th because San Antonio and Dallas have somehow been worse, but it’s an excellent matchup.
The Hornets have also been top-10 in pace over that stretch, which should help boost rebound opportunities.
Pick: Keon Johnson Over 3.5 Rebounds (-110)
