Howard had a 20-20 game last time against Tyson Chandler and the Mavs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last night out I went 8 for 10, and would have been 9 for 10 if not for the Timberwolves game going into overtime, allowing Beasley to pass the over in extra play.\u00a0 I missed my “hot pick” in DeRozan, who fell one point short due to Barbosa coming in and catching fire, causing DeRozan’s minutes to fall a bit.<\/p>\n

For the season player prop bets, if you took my advice, you’d see that I stand at 48-24-2 on the year so far (if the season ended today).\u00a0 So join the gravy train on player prop bets.\u00a0 You won’t get any other free predictions on Maddux, so take advantage of these.\u00a0 Here’s the selected player prop bets for tonight’s games.\u00a0 Bets and odds are taken from Bodog.<\/p>\n

Danny Granger over\/under 22 points\u00a0 vs ATL<\/strong><\/p>\n

UNDER.\u00a0 Last game against the Hawks, Granger went for 22, and that was at home.\u00a0 He’s only averaging 20.9 on the year and will be facing the stellar defense of Josh Smith.\u00a0 Moreover, he has been under 20 points for 4 of his last 5 games and his only game over 20 in that stretch was against the defense-less Knicks.<\/p>\n

Who will score more Dunleavy or Rush?\u00a0 Vs ATL<\/strong><\/p>\n

DUNLEAVY.<\/p>\n

Last 6 games:<\/p>\n

Rush 6, Dunleavy 14 vs SAS
\nRush 12, Dunleavy 4 vs NYK
\nRush 11, Dunleavy 3 vs WAS
\nDunleavy 20, Rush 8 vs WAS
\nRush 17, Dunleavy 9 vs BOS
\nDunleavy 10, Rush 7 vs MEM<\/p>\n

Averages: Rush 10.1 ppg, Dunleavy 10.0<\/p>\n

Last game vs ATL: Dunleavy 16, Rush 14<\/p>\n

As you can see it’s pretty darn near even, but Dunleavy had the upper hand against Atlanta last game.\u00a0 Rush has beat him in the last 3 games, but Dunleavy also beat him in minutes 38-32 last game vs the Hawks.
\n
\nJoe Johnson over\/under 21.5 pts\u00a0 vs IND<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 Johnson has averaged 28 ppg over the last 3 games and Rush and Dunleavy (mentioned above) aren’t exactly good defenders.\u00a0 Joe Johnson did not play last game against Indiana, so we can’t use that as a measuring stick, but his hot play of recent games suggests he will go over for tonight’s game.
\n
\nAndrew Bogut over\/under 26 Pts+Rebs\u00a0 vs NJN<\/strong><\/p>\n

UNDER.\u00a0 Other than his dominant performance on Wednesday night, he has been under this line for 4 of the last 5 games.\u00a0 Going against star center Brook Lopez won’t help his cause and last game against the Hawks he only had 8 points and 6 rebounds.\u00a0 Also, for his career against the Nets he is averaging 11.9 points per game and 9.1 rebounds per game, 5 under the line.\u00a0 Furthermore, his play on the road this year hasn’t been that great with averages of 11.8 points per game and 9.9 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n

Jrue Holiday over\/under 24 Pts+Asts vs DET<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 Holiday has been over this line in 5 of his last 6 games, the lone exception being a slow paced defensive game against the Hornets.\u00a0 Last game against the Bulls he went for 25 pts+asts and Stuckey isn’t quite the defender Derrick Rose is.<\/p>\n

Rajon Rondo 24.5 Pts+Asts vs CHI<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 Bodog has set the line according to his season average which is 24.3 Pts+Rebs.\u00a0 This is a big game, however, and Rondo has a way for showing up for big games.\u00a0 Last game against the Bulls he went for 12 pts and 19 assists, clearly passing the over, and he should perform similarly tonight.
\n
\nDwight Howard over\/under 34 Pts+Rebs<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 He murdered Chandler last game against Dallas for a 20-20 night and I don’t see why it won’t happen again.\u00a0 Chandler poses no problem for Howard on defense giving him the opportunity to crash the boards hard without regard to covering Chandler.\u00a0 I expect another 20-20 game from Howard tonight.
\n
\nTyson Chandler over\/under 21 Pts+Rebs<\/strong><\/p>\n

UNDER.\u00a0 His season average is 18.5 and he’s going against Dwight Howard tonight.\u00a0 That’s all that really needs to be said on this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
