Killian Hayes greater than 13.5 factors

The Pistons have the right mixture of being short-handed (no Bojan Bogdanovic, Cade Cunningham, Alec Burks, Jaden Ivey, or Marvin Bagley) and drawing an elite matchup towards the Pacers, who’re ranked eighth in tempo and twenty sixth in defensive score.

Hayes has solely averaged 9.5 factors per sport this season, however that’s the flawed quantity to have a look at.

On a per-minute foundation, he has averaged 0.36 factors.

In 205 minutes with these 5 gamers listed above off the ground this season, Hayes has had a 24% utilization fee.

He ought to see an uptick in minutes and utilization tonight in a good matchup towards the Pacers. 

Deandre Ayton lower than 11.5 rebounds

Ayton has been crashing the boards exhausting lately, however asking him to seize greater than 11.5 is a tall process.

In truth, he’s recorded 11 or fewer rebounds in eight of his final 11 video games.

He’s solely averaging 10.2 rebounds per sport this season, so there’s some worth within the lower than facet of this projection.

The matchup additionally units up poorly for Ayton, because the Warriors are a jump-shooting staff.

Betting on the NBA?

Bam Adebayo lower than 39.5 fantasy rating

Many will level to the acquisition of Kevin Love as the explanation for Adebayo’s stoop, however he’s truly been extra productive on a per-minute foundation taking part in alongside Love.

In the event you pull up the sport log for Adebayo, he’s scored lower than 39.5 fantasy factors in 9 of his final 10 video games.

A matchup towards the Jazz is definitely an attractive one, however the sport does have a big unfold (7.5 factors).

If the sport turns right into a rout, that’s clearly good for this choice.
