Austin Reaves Over 14.5 Points vs Denver

In the last five games, Austin Reaves has really stepped up, hitting an average of 2.8 three-pointers per game, which is a significant improvement. When he’s playing at home, he’s a big part of the team, spending around 30.0 minutes per game on the court, which puts him among the top players in terms of usage. The Lakers have been scoring a lot lately, averaging 123.0 points per game over the last 15 games, which is the second-highest in the NBA. They’ve also been playing at a fast pace. I love Reaves tonight.

 

Kevin Durant Under 2.5 3PT Made vs Utah

Durant has been under this number in 6 of his last 8 games. He just does not put up a lot of volume from behind the arc. Add in that the Jazz are one of the slowest paced teams in the NBA, which will limit opportunities on both sides, I am pretty confident he stays under this number.
