Luke Kornet Under 18.5 points + rebounds + assists (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has been upgraded to questionable and has traveled with the team to their one-game road trip against the Memphis Grizzlies. All signs point to him playing, which will reduce Luke Kornet’s impact.

According to Props Madness, Kornet has played 15 games with Wembanyama. He’s cleared this line only six times, averaging 9.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 22.7 minutes. But his PRA line has never closed higher than 14.5 in those contests.

This prop is a tad inflated, which is why I like the Under at bet365.

Trey Murphy III Over 20.5 points (+102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Coming off a 27-point performance against the Miami Heat, New Orleans Pelicans wing Trey Murphy III could have another big night against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are 26th in defensive rating.

Murphy earns nearly half of his scoring production from spot-ups or transition, which are two areas where the Lakers tend to struggle most. Murphy has scored 21-plus points in three of his previous four contests, so I like his chances to maintain that momentum in his most favorable matchup yet.

FanDuel is the lone shop offering a plus-money price on this Over.

Darius Garland Over 23.5 points (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Donovan Mitchell will rest tonight for the Cleveland Cavaliers, so I’m expecting the Darius Garland show against the Indiana Pacers.

Garland has only played one contest without Mitchell this year, scoring 35 points on 27 shots against the Chicago Bulls on Dec. 19. Other than that matchup, Garland hasn’t scored more than 27 points or attempted more than 19 shots in a single game.

Basically, the market is right about Garland’s usage tonight. I expect a big performance against a Pacers team that ranks 29th in defending opposing guards.

Anthony Black Over 4.5 assists (-140) ⭐⭐⭐

Anthony Black has had the ball more for the Magic, who have been dealing with injuries to Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs of late. Black has at least five assists in three straight games, recording 22 dimes over that span.

I’m willing to pay the steep price for Over 4.5 assists, as I expect Black to thrive in this matchup. The Washington Wizards rank 28th in assists allowed and are 29th in defensive rating this season.
