NBA betting: Talen Horton-Tucker set to cash in for LA Lakers

I left you last week with a 4-1 day, and now there is just a few games left in the NBA regular season.

So, let’s get it on.

Boston Celtics @ Memphis Grizzlies

It’s risky looking at bets on a crazy day like today, but we know Memphis is resting their stars with nothing to play for.

So it should be a comfortable victory for Boston, who are only favoured by seven.

Best bet: Handicap betting - Celtics -7

Similarly, the Pelicans are resting guys because their seeding can’t change, whereas the Warriors are bringing Klay Thompson back to play this game.

The Warriors being only seven point favourites seems low.

There is a risk the Warriors get up big and their starters play lower minutes, so Jordan Poole is someone I want to look at.

He isn’t a strong rebounder in general, so the juicy odds offered on Sportsbet to go under 3.5 rebounds ($2.16) is appealing to me.

Best bet: Handicap betting - Warriors -7

Best bet: Player rebounds - Poole under 3.5

We’ve seen Talen Horton-Tucker in a lead role for two games now and it has gone well.

So, he’ll be doing that again, and he should be able to crack 20 points.

However the points line is 18.5 and the over is $1.83.

I’ll stick with THT and his assist line. It’s set at 4.5 and on Sportsbet, we get $1.98 for him to go over that.

Best bet: Player points - Horton-Tucker over 18.5

Best bet: Player assists - Horton-Tucker over 4.5
