\"\"
Kevin Durant has been on fire over his last 6 games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tonight Bodog is offering some interesting prop bets.\u00a0 I’ve tried not to pick as many games tonight because the lines on the ones that are up are pretty on point and accurate.\u00a0 Nonetheless, I did pick 9 lines that I thought offered favorable odds.
\n
\nJrue Holiday over\/under 17.5 pts+asts vs ATL<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 The advantage Jrue Holiday has on Mike Bibby cannot be understated.\u00a0 Holiday is a 6’5″, quick, physical guard, and Bibby is well…a 6’0″ waterbug that is no longer quick or capable on defense.\u00a0 Last game against the Hawks, Holiday did terrible, but I see that changing tonight.\u00a0 Holiday recently had a triple double against the Nets and seems like he’s due to have another big game.\u00a0 His play has been inconsistent, so I am sticking my neck out here, but I think Jrue does it tonight.<\/p>\n

Joe Johson over\/under 22.5 pts vs PHI<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 Johnson has been at 27 or more points in 4 of his last 8 games and has averaged 25 a game over the past 3 games.\u00a0 He did not play in the last matchup these teams had, but tonight will be covered by the offensive-minded Jodie Meeks.\u00a0 Meeks isn’t a bad defender, but it often takes very good defense to slow down Joe Johnson.
\n
\nBlake Griffin over\/under 24.5 pts vs ORL<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 Griffin is going to be covered by Ryan Anderson and Earl Clark.\u00a0 He’s simply too good and experienced (yes, I said a rookie is experienced) to be slowed down by that tandem of defenders.\u00a0 Howard will be there at the rim, but I don’t expect Dwight to challenge every Blake Griffin dunk.\u00a0 He doesn’t want to break his hand.
\n
\nBlake Griffin over\/under 12.0 rebs vs ORL<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 Griffin has had 12 rebounds or more in 11 of his last 16 games and had 16 last game against Miami.\u00a0 Orlando is not really that good of a rebounding team, and I expect Blake to have a monster game on the boards too.\u00a0 Dwight Howard, again, will be there, but Griffin will get his fair share of rebounds.<\/p>\n

Manu Ginobili over\/under 18 pts vs DET<\/strong><\/p>\n

UNDER.\u00a0 This game against the Pistons should be slow paced, resulting in less opportunities for Ginobili to have a big scoring game.\u00a0 Moreover, in his last three games he has averaged 13.3 points per game and has not scored more than 17 in all three games.\u00a0 Detroit has capable defenders and decent bigs in Ben Wallace and Monroe, so Ginobili will be tested at the rim.<\/p>\n

LeBron James over\/under 26 pts vs IND<\/strong><\/p>\n

After scoring 51 in Orlando, James turned in two sub-par performances.\u00a0 Tonight will change that.\u00a0 James won’t come in and have another mediocre game after already recording two back to back and he’ll come in for a big night tonight against the Pacers.\u00a0 I think he scores in the mid 30s.
\n
\nAndrea Bargnani over\/under 26.5 pts+rebs vs. MIL<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 He had 27 pts+rebs last game against the Bucks and he had 30 pts and 6 boards last game against Minnesota.\u00a0 He’s shooting the ball well and is not going to find Bogut coming out to meet him on the floor.
\n
\nKevin Durant over\/under 30.5 pts vs MEM<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 Last game against Memphis Durant had 40 and he’s averaging 31.2 points per game at home this year.\u00a0 He’s averaging 34.6 points per game over his last 6 games and has had three 40+ point games over that span.\u00a0 Over the last two he is only averaging 22.5 points, but that is only the more reason he will score 40 again tonight.
\n
\nSerge Ibaka\u00a0 over\/under 16.0 pts+rebs vs MEM<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 Last game he went for 9 pts and 7 rebs, tieing this line.\u00a0 He’s put up 20+ pts+rebs in two of his last three games and he’s played 29 & 33 minutes in the those two games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
