Cody Zeller let me down, bit otherwise went 3-1 and I'll take that every day.

Celtics at Pelicans 3:35 pm EST, Timberwolves at KNICKS 7:05 pm, Nets at CLIPPERS 8:05 pm
3-pointers: Zion Williamson (Pelicans) 1 made 3-pointer +350 (returns $45.00) Williamson has hit one three in two of his last three games, but not the last game. At +350, it's a long shot (23 feet or more) but it's not like can't do it and he may want to show the whole arsenal against Dukie Jayson Tatum.
Nets ML over Clippers +225 (returns $32.50) It's noon when I'm writing this so I have no idea if Kevin Durant is playing, but any time I can get the Nets +225 on the moneyline, I'm probably going to take it.
2-pointers: None
Free throws: None
Steals: Knicks Over 109.5 vs Timberwolves -113 (returns $18.90) Both the Knicks and T-wolves are coming off sub-90 point games. The Knicks are home and rested and have scored 120+ their last two home games.
Elfrid Payton (Knicks) over 18.5 points, rebounds, assists -115 (returns $18.70) Payton has been playing well lately and whenever I can get a player to underperform (he averages 19.6) against teams that are not known as defensive stoppers, gotta take it.
Winners:
2-pointers: Bulls ML over Kings +105 (returns $20.50) The Bulls won 122-114.
Free throws: Rui Hachimura (Wizards) over 20.5 points, rebounds, assists -110 (returns $19.10) Hachimura went on a 4th quarter blitz to finish with 17-7-0 for a 24 PRA.
Suns -4 over Grizzlies -112 (returns $19.00) The Suns crushed the Grizzlies 128-97.
Losers:
3-pointers: Cody Zeller (Hornets) double-double +330 (returns $43.00) This looks like a reasonable longshot play. Zeller is coming off a double-double and has been resting for a week. The Warriors played a tough one last night in Orlando, may be a little leg-weary and have minimal size to begin with.
