Best Bets


Kevin Porter over 1.5 steals (+110) at Charlotte

DraftKings, 11:52 AM CT

Alex Barutha: Charlotte is running out a skeleton crew and has given up the third-most turnovers over the past month -- many of which end up in the hands of opposing point guards. Point guards facing the Hornets have secured the third-most steals over the past month of any position against any team. Porter has at least one steal in 12 of his past 14 appearances, averaging 1.8 swipes during this stretch.

Killian Hayes over 1.5 steals (-120) at Indiana

DraftKings, 11:54 AM CT

Alex Barutha: Much like Charlotte, Indiana is struggling with turnovers, giving away the second-most possessions over the past month. Hayes, surprisingly, has just two total steals over the past five games, but this is the perfect get-right spot for him. Since the All-Star break, he's averaging exactly 1.5 steals.


Clint Capela over 10.5 rebounds (-124) vs. 76ers

FanDuel, 3:02 PM CT

Ken Crites: The Sixers, who have nothing to play for, are wisely resting Joel Embiid.  Atlanta, on the other hand, need to stay in the 8th spot ahead of Toronto to avoid having to play two Play-In games.  That means Clint Capela, who's averaged 11.1 boards a game this season, should see big minutes.  And those minutes will be versus 33-year-old reserve Dewayne Dedmon. A relatively high O/U of 236 points means a fast pace of play, meaning lots of shots and lots of boards. Finally, this game is in Atlanta, where Capela averages an improved 11.9 boards per game.  I'm in a bit of slump, so feel free to fade.
