DP’S PLAYER PROP
SEASON RECORD: 55-32
PHOENIX VS INDIANA
TJ is hooping right now returning 54, 34 and 32. I’m going to keep this short and sweet – the Phoenix Suns traded TJ away for cash considerations. It’s a revenge game.
The Pacers are clearly giving TJ the green light to shoot it at volume (currently 24 shot attempts per bubble game) and I don’t expect anything to change here.
The Suns have been super competitive and will prove to be a tricky match up for the Pacers who continue to climb the Eastern Conf Standings – expect a locked in Indiana team wire-to-wire.
DP’S PICK – TJ WARREN OVER 24.5 POINTS

The Pelicans have lost 6 six of their last 10 games and trail Memphis by 2.5 games for the final playoff spot in the West. New Orleans limited Memphis to 40% shooting during a 109-99 win on Monday.
The Kings are looking for a win a 4-game losing streak and playoff contention is moving further away. On Monday, Sac managed just 28 points over the final 17 minutes of a 114-110 OT loss to Dallas, out-rebounded by a 73-60 margin.
The Pelicans are 2nd in the league in pace and both rank in the bottom half of the NBA defensively, so the Overs are a good play, with the Pelicans for the W.

The Heat look to back up their solid 112-106 win over the Celtics. Bam Adebayo led the win with 21 points and 12 rebounds as Miami led at every change.
The Bucks lost their 2nd straight after falling 119-116 to the Nets on Tuesday. Losing as -19.0 favorites made them the second most favored team to lose in the modern era. Commiserations to anybody who had them in the first leg of their parlay. With the loss, Milwaukee failed to clinch 1st place in the East.
Milwaukee has lost 2 of their 3 seeding games and have failed to cover the spread in 5 of its last 6. To add to that, the Bucks have lost 5 of their last 6 games dating back to before the regular season was halted.
Miami have covered the spread in 8 of their last 11 against the Bucks, and we’re predicting another cover here.

The Pacers go for their 4th-straight win tonight after knocking off Orlando 120-109 on Tuesday behind 32 points from TJ Warren. TJ Warren has been going off, having scored 119 points at an average of 39.7 ppg in the three games since the bubble restart.
The Suns have also won each of their three seeding games after a 117-115 win on Tuesday over the LA Clippers. Devin Booker hitting buzzer beater over Paul George to grab the victory, capping a 35-point night for Booker.
Like the Pacers here, and will steer away from the total points after a 112-87 Pacers win in this matchup back in January.

The Clippers look to find some swagger after a 117-115 buzzer-beater loss to the Suns. The Clippers’ Patrick Beverley injured his calf and head coach Doc Rivers announced that the team is going to be cautious although the injury does not look to be serious.
Dallas ended their 2-game losing streak with a 114-110 win over the Kings on Tuesday. Doncic notched up another triple-double, with 34 points, 20 rebounds and 12 assists.
This is a tough one, however the Mavs haven’t impressed in the bubble and the Clippers would be looking to find their mojo after their shock loss to the Suns.
Also like the Unders here, however we’ve been burnt multiple times in the bubble tipping low scores, so we’ll sit back tonight and continue to see if the trend continues.
PICK – LA CLIPPERS -4.5

The Blazers look for their 2nd-straight win after beating the Rockets 110-102 on Tuesday. Lillard led the Blazers with 21 points, while Carmelo sank a late three to seal the win.
The Nuggets are on a back-to-back after a high-scoring 132-126 win over the the Spurs last night.
Portland have started to gel with the return of Nurkic and have one of the best scoring backcourts in the league in Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.
Like the Blazers to keep rolling. Ride the Melo confidence.

The Lakers are on a a back-to-back after a 105-86 loss to OKC last night. The Lakers just could not find the points and seemed to be out of sync offensively in what was a disappointing loss as -6.5 favorites.
The Rockets had their two game streak end after a 110-102 loss to Portland on Tuesday. Harden led Houston with a lowly 23 points.
The Unders has hit in 5 of Houston’s last 7 and 5 of the Lakers last 6.
Lakers may rest a few tonight.
PICK – HOUSTON +1.5 & UNDER 226.5 TOTAL POINTS
