Pelicans vs. Magic, 7:00PM (EST)

While the Pels vs. Magic isn't exactly a game you'll be cancelling all your plans for to watch tonight, one thing we can be relatively safe in assuming is that in this tussle between two of the struggling teams in the league, we should get a close enough game that results in all starters seeing their usual complement of minutes -- something that is half the battle in betting props at the moment.

Devonte' Graham is one player who likes to shoot a high volume of threes. And I mean a high volume. Over his last 10 games, he is getting off 8.7 attempts from deep per game. 6 of those times were in blowout games where he saw less than 30 minutes of floor time. If this one stays close, he is shooting for the stars. Don't be surprised to see up to 11-12 tries. He's well equipped to hit the maximum here.

BET: Devonte' Graham (NOP) 5+ threes (Best odds +260)

Pistons vs. Heat, 7:30PM (EST)

Since finding his way into a meaningful place in the Miami rotation 3 games ago, Max Strus has not looked back. The undrafted third year player as been shooting the lights out with each of those performances resulting in returns of 32, 24 and 18 points off an average of 15 shots per game over that stretch. He is expected to keep his starting spot at small forward against a bad Pistons team and it's hard seeing him letting up off of this heater.

BET: Max Strus (MIA) OVER 14.5 points (Best odds -138)

Wizards vs. Knicks, 7:30PM (EST)

A week ago it legitimately looked as though Kemba Walker's career was over. having fallen out of favor with Tom Thibodeau, the former Hornets PG didn't suit up for 10 games until a covid outbreak made the Knicks coach backtrack. In his last 2 games since returning to the lineup, Walker has notched 20 points in both of them and looks like a completely changed man. He has a great chance to keep that run going against the Wizards who are experiencing a wicked form slump.

BET: Kemba Walker (NYK) OVER 19.5 points (Best odds -122)
