SAN ANTONIO SPURS VS OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
SGM: Chet & Wemby 3+ Blocks

The Spurs host OKC in the battle of the Rookies.

Wemby has firmed into a $1.12 to take out the 2023/24 Rookie of The Year, with Chet Holmgren 2nd favourite in the market at a wide $6 flat.

Victor Wembanyama is currently leading the league in blocks, blocking 3.3 shots per game, while Chet Holmgren sits equal 2nd with 2.7 blocks per game.

I’m backing both young guns to step up here, protecting their respective rims with fierce intent.

LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS WASHINGTON WIZARDS
Lakers to Cover $1.90

The Lakers play the 2nd of back-to-back fixtures when they host the Wizards.

Washington are a woeful 6-24 on the road this season and are staring down the barrel of a 13-game losing streak!

Alternatively, the Lakers are 20-9 on their own patch, and are 16-8 against sides with losing records.

I’m backing LeBron and co to send the Wizards packing, covering the line without an issue.
