Charlotte Hornets PG LaMelo Ball OVER 17.5 points (-115)
This is Ball’s sixth game in the starting lineup and it has made a massive difference thus far in Charlotte’s offensive production.
Over the past five games, the Hornets are averaging 119.8 points per game to rank sixth in the NBA and Ball is putting up 22.6 points on 51.4% 3-point shooting, with 6.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.
Not only is Ball in rhythm, but he vs. Morant is a fascinating point guard duel that showcases the future of the position and should be an entertaining one-on-one battle.
Memphis’ defense plummets in efficiency when Morant is on the floor (according to CleaningTheGlass.com) and all of the Grizzlies’ injuries have contributed to their 26th-ranked defensive rating over the last five games.
Keep in mind Ball has been on fire from deep lately and Memphis is 27th in 3-point defense.

New Orleans Pelicans PF Zion Williamson OVER 22.5 points (-120)
The Pelicans are in the Windy City Wednesday to play the Chicago Bulls and Williamson will be a bull in a china shop so to speak in this game.
Chicago is allowing the third-most points per game and free-throw attempts to opposing power forwards in the league while Williamson is averaging 23.5 points per game with the seventh-highest field-goal percentage and sixth-most free-throw attempts per game.
Injuries could play a big role in Chicago’s weak interior defense as the Bulls are missing both frontcourt starters. Either way, Zion has gone Over this number in 11 of 22 starts this season and has shot below 50% in only five games.

Atlanta Hawks PF John Collins OVER 26.5 points & rebounds (-115)
The point guard matchup in Hawks-Mavericks might be the draw but I’m more interested in the battle of the bigs. Collins has tallied at least 37 combined points and rebounds in each of his four career starts against the Mavericks. He has scored 35 points in each of the last two games against the Mavs on better than 74.4% shooting.
Nba Draft Prop Bets 2020
One of those games was last week and there’s no reason Collins’ ownership of the interior can’t continue vs. a Dallas team 29th in opponent’s field goal percentage at the rim (according to CleaningTheGlass.com) and 27th in rebounding percentage.
