NBA Pick'Em Today (Tuesday, Feb. 3)
New York Knicks vs. Washington Wizards: Alex Sarr over 26.5 points + rebounds + assists -- Pick6, 11 AM
Sarr has been one of the most productive big men in The Association in the last few weeks, and the numbers back that up. The second-year center, who's set to return following a one-game absence due to a calf injury, is expected to handle his regular workload at center. Sarr has scored at least 15 points in eight games in a row, and he's averaging 20.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game over that stretch. Even though the matchup against the Knicks, including Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson, isn't ideal, Sarr's athleticism and explosiveness should play well here. His recent body of work also suggests he should hover around this line.
Atlanta Hawks vs. Miami Heat: Nickeil Alexander-Walker over 26.5 points + rebounds + assists -- PrizePicks, 11 AM
Alexander-Walker has been one of the players worthy of a Most Improved Player award candidacy. He's coming off a 21-point effort in a loss to the Pacers on Jan. 31, and that was his fourth straight game with at least 20 points. A regular starter in the backcourt following the trade that sent Trae Young to the Wizards, Alexander-Walker is averaging 20.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game since the beginning of January. He's also posted at least 26 P+R+A in three of his last four contests.
Detroit Pistons vs. Denver Nuggets: Jaden Ivey over 10.5 points + rebounds + assists -- Underdog, 11 AM
Ivey isn't one of the go-to options on offense for the Pistons, but he's provided consistent value off the bench even when his minutes have fluctuated. Ivey has logged 20-plus minutes in just three of his 15 games since the beginning of January, but he's averaging 7.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game over that stretch while shooting 33.9 percent from three-point range. If his minutes remain around the 20-minute range, Ivey should have a good shot at hitting this line against a Nuggets team that remains depleted. For what it's worth, Ivey has surpassed this line of over 10.5 P+R+A in five of his last six appearances.
