NBA Underdog Pick’em Player Predictions
(Props Courtesy of Underdog)
Kyle Kuzma Over 22.5 Points | CHA @ WAS
Kuzma has been burning up lately, averaging 24.7 points over his last 10 games, including over 22.5 in four of the last five. Washington has faced Charlotte three times this season, and in those contests, he is averaging three points over (26) which we will need for our pick. As long as this stays competitive, this pick shouldn’t be too much of a sweat at all.
Isaiah Hartenstein Under 7.5 Points | ORL @ NYK
Orlando’s frontcourt has the potential to be an absolute nightmare for Hartenstein tonight. They are a lengthy bunch who thrive on athleticism just as much as toughness in the paint. On top of the decline in minutes recently, he’s only averaging 5.2 points over the last six games. With a need of almost three points more than that, it’s safe to say more confidence resides in the Under.
Dejounte Murray Under 2.5 Three Pointers Made | ATL @ MEM
Without Trae Young in the lineup, this number should absolutely be closer to 3.5. The reality is that Dejounte is just not hitting from deep recently. He’s only had two games where he exceeded this total over his last 10 games. Granted a matchup against Memphis is one of the best remedies for poor shooting, but it’s also a matchup where Murray possibly plays only three quarters if this gets out of hand early.
Alperen Sengun Under 0.5 Three Pointers Made | HOU @ POR
This is another contest where the opponent could be way behind by halftime. Portland is not only riddled with injuries, they are facing a Houston team that relies on tough defense and that spells utter doom for the Trail Blazers. In his last 12 contests, Sengun has only made five three-pointers. He will most likely not have to spend much time around the perimeter, his teammates will have that more than covered against one of the worst teams in the league.
LeBron James Under 7 Rebounds | MIL @ LAL
Although LeBron is carrying a questionable designation going into tonight’s matchup, the Lakers need wins! So expect him to be out there in all his glory. What we don’t expect is for him to surpass seven rebounds. James has only gone over this total just twice in his last 15 games so we are certainly looking for more of the same!
