May 10th Picks

Lock of the Day: Bojan Bogdanovic F vs. Golden State Warriors - OVER 23.5 Points (-113)

Reasoning:

Bogdanovic has been playing exceptionally well since the Jazz lost Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley to injuries, and he’s become the primary scorer for the team. He has hit his point total in 4 of the team’s last 5 games and the Warriors allowed an average of 123 points per game to the Jazz in their prior two games this season. With the Jazz already relying so heavily on Bogdanovic you can bet he will hit his point total once again in what should be another high scoring game.

Jacob’s Pick: Rui Hachimura F vs. Atlanta Hawks - OVER 22.5 Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-106)

Reasoning:

With Bradley Beal set to miss the Wizards next two games with an injury, Rui Hachimura is expected to go off with Russell Westbrook playing some of the best ball in his career. In games that Beal has missed, Hachimura averages 18.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.7 which is well over his PRA line. Monday’s game against the Hawks should be a high scoring game, so expect Hachimura to get a lot of points off of Westbrook assists.

Anthony’s Pick: Eric Bledsoe G vs. Memphis Grizzlies - OVER 15.5 Points (-160)

Reasoning:

Bledsoe has taken advantage of recent injury woes for the Pelicans. In his last 5 games he’s averaged 16.6 points a game, which is a decent jump from his season average of 12.2. In their last game against the Hornets he had one of his best performances of the season scoring 24. Both of the Pelicans meetings with the Grizzlies have been high scoring, so expect for this to be the same with Bledsoe continuing to play a larger role in the offense.
