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.

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.

The Kings and the Nuggets re set to meet for the fourth and final time during the regular season, with Sacramento leading the series 3-0!

The Kings claimed a 4-point win against the Nuggs prior to the All-Star break and have covered the line in the pairs last three meetings.

Sacramento match-up well with the reigning champs and I have them covering the generous line on offer.

The Clippers host the Lakers in an ALL LA showdown.

The Home side has won and covered in the last four meetings between this pair, prior to that, the Clippers reeled off 10 straight Ws against their big brothers.

I’m backing the Clips to stick it to their noisy neighbours, winning the Hollywood derby with ease.

The Timberwolves take on the Spurs for the fourth and final time this season, with Minnesota leading the series 2-1.

The T-Wolves are currently top of the Western Conference standings, 40-17 on the season, and 20-6 at home.

I’m backing Minnesota to get the job done at home, covering the line with ease.

OKC are breathing down the neck of the T-Wolves in 2nd place in the West, and will be looking to leapfrog them with a win over the Rockets at home.

Houston own a horrendous away record, winning just five of 27 games on the road, with only the Pistons winning less.

Alternatively, the Thunder are 23-6 at home, and are looking to win their 6th straight game.

OKC have been winning, and winning well, covering the line in 17 of 24 games when staring as Home Favourites.

While, Houston are 7-15-1 against the line when starting as the Away Underdog.

I’m backing the Thunder to strike down the Rockets, covering the spread.

The Raptors and the Pacers meet for the third time this season, with the series currently tied at 1-1.

This game has a bit of extra spice to it, with several players switching allegiances between the sides.

The last two games between this pair have been decided by 2-points or less, and I’m expecting a similar result here.

I’m backing the Raptors to push for the win, or at least get within a bucket or two of doing so.

The Nets head to Memphis looking to snap a four-game losing streak.

Brooklyn and in all sorts at the moment, sacking their coach and trading away key players.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies seem to have turned a corner following a nine-game losing streak, winning two of their last three starts.

I’m backing the Nets to continue to spiral, losing another game on the road.

The Clippers look to go 3-0 against the Kings when they welcome their neighbours to crypto.com Arena.

Sacramento has been largely mediocre across their last ten games, going 5-5 and dropping into the play-in zone.

Despite poor team performances, Domantas Sabots has been stuffing the stat sheet night after night, averaging 22-14-11 across his last 10 games.

I’m backing the creative power forward to dominate the boards and dish up a few dimes for his teammates.

The Celtics look to go 4-0 against the Knicks when the pair meet at MSG on Saturday (AEST).

Boston entered the All Star break on a six game winning streak, and seven wins clear of the next best team in the East.

Alternatively, the Knicks had lost four on the trot entering the break, including two defeats at home.

I can only see the Celts tightening the screws further in the run home to the playoffs, and I have them covering on the road here.

The Timberwolves play the 2nd of back-to-back home fixtures when they welcome the Nets to Minnesota.

Brooklyn enter this game fresh off the back of sacking their head coach, after losing four of their last five starts.

Golden State enter this game as red hot favourites, despite the Hornets notching up three straight victories before the All Star break.

This pair are locked at one game a piece this season and are both vying for Wester Conference play-off positions.

The Mavs enter this contest off the back of six straight wins, with Luka averaging a touch over 32 points across his last nine starts.

Doncic has relished this matchup in the past, scoring 33+ points I eight of his last nine games against the Suns.

I’m backing Luka to hit the overs once again.

Both the Lakers and the Dubs look to build on their solid form when they meet in the Bay Area.

LA are 7-3 across their last 10 games, and defeated the Dubs at the Chase Center in double OT a month ago.

Meanwhile, the Warriors are 8-2 across the same trip, reviving their terminally ill playoff hopes.

This week off will do the world of good for LeBron and AD, and I think they’ll come out and bully this undersized Dubs outfit.

The Timberwolves look to consolidate the position atop of the Western Conference standings when the travel to Portland.

Minnesota are 2-0 against Portland this season, winning both games by 11+ points.

Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers are staring down the barrel of six straight defeats, while showing no signs of improvement.

I have the visitors covering easily.

The Suns take on the Pistons for the 2nd and final time this season, after seeing off the cellar dwellers by 16 points on the road.

Phoenix will be without Bradley Beale for this one, but have two elite shooters in KD and Booker to relieve the burden of scoring.

KD made light work of the Pistons on his own last time out, with the addition of Booker, the Suns should pump the visitors by 13+.

The Clippers and the Warriors meet for the fourth time this season, with the Clips leading the series 2-1.

LA will be without their lead scorer Kawhi, leaving PG13 and Harden with the lions share of offensive responsibility.

Harden has averaged 22-5-10 in his three appliances against the Dubs this season, and I’m backing his output to increased in the absence of the Claw.
