Alright team, I think that the two games we have on the slate tonight are pure toss ups. The Clippers/Nuggets is just too close to call. I still think Detroit should be able to cover the 7 number but their inexperience was an issue and Tibs doesn't play his bench. Detroit might crap the bed again and so it is hard for me to pull the trigger on them again, knowing they could have another 4th quarter meltdown. Gun to my head in the Nuggets game, I would still roll with the Nuggets because of Jokic and company. However, Jamal Murrays hamstring looked to be bothering him last game and that is something to keep an eye on. I think, at least for tonight, the best way to approach the betting is through the prop angle. I see a couple of props that look a bit off. I also really like Normal Powell to have a bounce back game after he did not play particularly well last game. I like him and his points as well as points/rebounds/assists number, and I also like Aaron Gordon.
Clippers/Nuggets Game #2 PROPS
Aaron Gordon OVER 23.5 Points/Rebounds/Assists (-120)
Aaron Gordon OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-105)
Norman Powell OVER 16.5 Points (-105)
Normal Powell OVER 20.5 Points/Rebounds/Assists (-130) - 5 unit max
Powell played 37 minutes and he did not play particularly well. He has the ball in his hands to iso at the end of quarters and has decent shot volume as the #3 option. He can also create his own shot off the dribble, and is a facilitator as well when Harden is on the bench. I really like his OVER 20.5 Points/Rebounds/Assist prob for this game and look for him to bounce back.
