May 15th Picks

Lock of the Day: Bam Adebayo vs. Milwaukee Bucks - OVER 4.5 Assists (-189)

Reasoning:

Adebayo is averaging a career-high in assists with 5.4 per game. He’s hit the line in 5 out of his last 7 games, including 2 double-digit performances. He picked up 10 in his last game against Milwaukee, and the Bucks allow the most assists to centers in the league.

Jacob’s Pick: Karl-Anthony Towns vs. Boston Celtics - OVER 24.5 points (-179)

Reasoning:

Towns has been playing exceptionally well recently, averaging 25.3 points per game over the past 6 games while playing against some good centers such as Nikola Jokic and Bam Adebayo. Saturday he’ll be playing a Celtics team led at center by Luke Kornet because of injuries to their typical starters Tristan Thompson and Robert Williams. Towns dominated against the Celtics in his previous game posting 30 points, so expect a similar performance against a depleted Celtics team.

Anthony’s Pick: Jrue Holiday vs. Miami Heat - OVER 16.5 points (-111)

Reasoning:

Holiday is having the most efficient year of his career and has started to add volume to that efficiency in recent weeks. He’s been shooting 50.4% from the field and 39.1% from three, both career highs. He’s scored at least 18 points in 7 of his last 8 games and already hit the line once against Miami.
