May 7th Picks

Lock of the Day: Nikola Jokic C vs. Utah Jazz - OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made (-106)

Reasoning:

Jokic has consistently made three-pointers with Rudy Gobert defending him. In 9 of his last 10 games against Utah he’s hit the line. Over that stretch he attempted 6.2 three-pointers a game, and made 3.1 a game.

Jacob’s Pick: Damian Lillard G vs. Los Angeles Lakers - OVER 3.5 3-Pointers Made (-108)

Reasoning:

When facing the Lakers this season, Lillard has been exceptional from three-point range, making 5 three-pointers in both contests, and attempting 10 and 13 respectively. In his last 7 games, Lillard has hit the line 5 times. After getting knocked out of the playoffs by the Lakers last year, Lillard is looking for revenge against a depleted Lakers team.

Anthony’s Pick: Jayson Tatum F vs. Chicago Bulls - OVER 4.5 Assists (+100)

Reasoning:

While Tatum only averages 4.4 assists per game on the season, this is a great matchup for him to go over that total. In his 2 games against Chicago this season he’s averaged 7.5 assists per game, 1 of which was a triple-double performance. Jaylen Brown is also out tonight, which should mean Tatum has the ball in his hands more. He averages 0.4 more assists per game with Brown off the court.
