A nice 4-2 day yesterday. Fewer options today with only three games on, but I can smell value anyway.

Milwaukee Bucks @ Philadelphia 76ers

They’ve done it again. They’ve set Andre Drummond’s rebound total too low.

It’s up from yesterday’s joke at 13.5, but it’s only at 14.5.

He is grabbing a lot of boards. That’s priced at $2.05 at TAB.

I also like Milwaukee’s centre’s rebound numbers. Bobby Portis is set at 7.5 rebounds for $1.87 on Ladbrokes.

He should go over with his last three contests going at least eight, despite two games being under 25 minutes.

Given the player absences and Philadepiha on a back-to-back, the total under 216 at Ladbrokes is great value.

Best bet: Player rebounds - Drummond over 14.5

Best bet: Player rebounds - Portis over 7.5

Best bet: Total points - under 216

Atlanta Hawks @ Utah Jazz

Atlanta was comprehensively beaten by the Warriors yesterday and I’m not sure they stand much of a chance here, but I do like some player props.

I like John Collins to go over 14.5 points for $1.98 on Ladbrokes.

There is also an interesting combo on Ladbrokes - total points by Bojan Bogdanovic/Bogdan Bogdanović, plus who scores more.

I think they hit the over 29.5 points combined and Bojan outscores Bogdan by more than 4.5 points. That is $3.60.

Best bet: Player points - Collins over 14.5 Points

Best bet: Bojan Bogdanović to outscore Bogdan Bogdnaovic by 4.5 points and total to exceed 29.5

Portland Trail Blazers @ LA Clippers

These teams have already played each other twice, splitting the series and both come in on win streaks.

With the Clippers slightly favoured at home, I do think the Blazers can win, but when I can get +2.5 at $1.95 at Ladbrokes for Portland, that’s what I’ll do.

Best bet: Handicap betting - Blazers +2.5
