Best Bets
Giannis Antetokounmpo over 53.5 points + rebounds + assists at Toronto (-105)
DraftKings, 3:40 PM CT
Alex Barutha: The Bucks will be missing Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, George Hill and Joe Ingles for this one. With those players off the floor, Antetokounmpo has an absurd 43% usage rate. I expect him to keep up his hot streak, as the Bucks need to lean on him as much as ever.

Miami Heat -8.5 at LA Lakers
BetMGM, 4pm CT
Nick Whalen: This play is pretty simple. Even with the regular slew of bench injuries for Miami, the Heat should be in great shape with no LeBron James or Anthony Davis for the Lakers. The Lakers have lost by double-digits in each of James' last three absences, including a 26-point defeat at the hands of the Suns on Dec. 19.

Jarrett Allen over 9.5 rebounds vs. Suns (-125)
DraftKings, 11:30am ET
Ken Crites: Allen is averaging 10.2 rebounds per game and will probably be without PF Evan Mobley (QUE, ankle). Phoenix is a mediocre rebounding team, ranking 14th with 51.5 per game with some poor recent outings. My bigger beef is DeAndre Ayton too often plays soft with "only" 9.4 boards per game despite no real Phoenix power forward fighting him for boards. Allen should double-double.
