Get ready for a one-game bonanza today! Yesterday, was solid ending up 3-2, but today is a day to be very careful.

Detroit Pistons @ Orlando Magic

Both teams appear to be tanking very hard in this game, so don’t be surprised at some crazy lineups out there that don’t involve a lot of shooting.

That makes the game under an immediate target for me. It sits at 219.5, and I think we could have a reverse barn burner, a barn builder if you will. Or maybe that’s a barn extinguisher. Anyway, it could be bad.

In his second game back I don’t expect Isaiah Stewart to miss all of his shots like last game, so his points total at 9.5 seems interesting. Going over pays $1.90 on Sportsbet.

Franz Wagner has been inconsistent, going over 15 points just twice in March, but it’s been a string of poor shooting nights. I think it might be time for him to uncork one, so his 14.5 points line is appealing on TAB. Over is $1.85.

Sticking with Franz, Sportsbet has his rebound line at 4.5. That’s too low. Over 4.5 is paying $1.64, so we will take it.

Lastly, let’s look at Saddiq Bey. Passing has improved of late and without Jerami Grant and maybe Cade Cunningham, he may be the offence’s engine. On TAB, the assist line is 3.5 and over is paying $1.95. I like that.

Best bet: Game total - Under 219.5

Best bet: Player points - Stewart over 9.5

Best bet: Player points - F.Wagner over 14.5

Best bet: Player rebounds - F.Wagner over 4.5

Best bet: Player assists - Bey over 3.5
