By Jim Turvey
Draymond Green has been invigorated since Jimmy Butler joined the Warriors.
His points per game have jumped from 8.4 to 11 despite poor shooting luck from 3-point territory (18.5% in that stretch).
He has scored 9+ points in 7 of those 11 games, often with plenty of room. Jonathan Kuminga is still sidelined, so I’ll run back this Green prop.
Pick: Draymond Green Over 9.5 Points (+100)

By Kyle Murray
Kelly Olynyk clearly has a firm role in this rotation and has been quite productive since being traded to New Orleans.
This is a tough matchup in general, but I think this number is too low, as Olynyk projects for 11.6 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Pick: Kelly Olynyk Over 18.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-115)

By Kyle Murray
We hit on this Jarred Vanderbilt prop fairly easily the other night when it was offered at 5.5, so I am certainly returning to it at 4.5.
Vanderbilt has had 8+ rebounds in back-to-back games for the Lakers, and at least 5 rebounds in 3 straight games.
He projects to play 20-22 minutes with Rui Hachimura out again, and in that time, I have him projected for 6.2 rebounds.
Pick: Jarred Vanderbilt Over 4.5 Rebounds (-115)
