NBA Picks Saturday

 


Overall Record 7-2

G1- Avery Bradley BOS- Bradley scored 6 points and had 6 rebounds in 16mins last game vs. the Nets. However, Bradley is now a starter getting nearly twice those minutes. He is averaging 13 points and 4 rebounds his last 4 games, 7 points and 3 rebounds higher than his season average. He should be a solid play almost every night until Allen returns. Expect 14+ fantasy points.

G2- Klay Thompson GS- Thompson is averaging 18 points and 4 rebounds in his last 5 games. That is 7 points and 2 rebounds over his season average now that he starts in place of the injured Curry. With Lee, and Jefferson out tonight, look for Thompson to score more.

G3- Rajon Rondo BOS- Rondo is a premiere point guard and the Nets give up the most points in the league to opposing guards. The also give up a lot of points total. Rondo could possibly be looking at his 6th triple double of year tonight.

F1- Dorrell Wright GS- Lee and Jefferson are both out tonight, and Wright should get increased minutes, perhaps even the start. Golden State is coming off an off day, and Wright has proven even behind Lee and with Jefferson he still makes a 2.0 value.

F2- Michael Beasley MIN- Beasley scored 14 points and had 10 rebounds last game with Love out. That is 3 points and 6 rebounds higher than his season average. Also, the only meeting vs. OKC this year, Beasley scored 24 points. Look for him to combine the points from last time these two teams played, and the rebounds from his last game into a monster fantasy points night.

F3- Kevin Seraphin WAS- With Lewis, Booker, and Nene all out for tonight Seraphin should be a solid pick. He is averaging 15 points and 8 rebounds over his last 5 games, 8 points and 3 rebounds over his season average. Furthermore, CLE has been giving up huge points lately. Almost 100 points a night over their last 4 nights.

C1- Nilkola Pekovic MIN- Pekovic has played extremely well this year. Love is out again tonight so expect another monster night. He is only at $10,233 on Draft Street which is still low for what he can do.

C2- Marcin Gortat PHO- Gortat is averaging 22 points and 15 rebounds vs. SA this year and had 20 points and 15 rebounds last game vs. the Rockets. Over his last 5 games he is shooting at a .646 shooting percentage. Those points at that shooting percentage is fantastic!
