Fred VanVleet on 29.5 points + rebounds + assists in Washington (-120)
Draft Kings, 11:27 p.m. CT
Alex Barutha: VanVleet has had a terrible night of shooting (1-11) against a Bulls team that’s actually their second-best defense since the New Year. I like it when he has a setback on Thursday against a Wizards defense that’s ranked 27th in the same period. Oddly enough, VanVleet was also a marginally better shooter on the road, and he plays slightly better in wins, with the Raptors being two-point favorites. Since January 1st, the FVV has averaged 20.5 points, 7.4 assists and 5.0 boards.

James Harden O22.5 points with the Dallas Mavericks
DraftKings Sportsbook, 10:30 a.m. CT
Nick Walen: The Sixers may again be without Joel Embiid to end a back-to-back set, so Harden could take center stage as both the Sixers’ top scorer and playmaker. He finished Wednesday night in Miami with “only” 23 points, but Dallas should be a much more advantageous matchup. Since the arrival of Kyrie Irving, the Mavs are one of the worst defenses in the NBA (118.1 DRTG). I would also look at Harden O2.5, who has made threes – a number he has missed in 10 of the last 15 games.

Kyle Kuzma under 21.5 points vs. Raptors (-118)
FanDuel, 11 a.m. CT
Ken writes: The unicorn, Kristaps Porzingis, returns tonight after two games for the Wizards. And Bradley Beal is finally looking healthy again, having played in eight straight games and averaging 25.9 points per game over that span. Washington meets Toronto tonight, who rank seventh in the Association in terms of points allowed per game (111.9). Kuzma accumulated 28 points against Atlanta on Tuesday, but Porzingis was out and Atlanta’s defense is questionable. I just don’t think Kuzma will get enough high quality shots to score 22 tonight. The Raptors are healthy, tall, and play good defense. The Raptors are also favored despite playing on the go and we see a low O/U of 222.0. Plus Beal and Porzingis will be Washington’s top picks.
