We admire that Ben Simmons has picked up some of the numbers since Joel Embiid has been out, so we are going with Over 36.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists as the Sixers visit the Thunder Thursday.
But we really like the PRA on the other side . . .
In his last three games that weren’t a mile above sea level, Russell Westbrook has scored 41, 43 and 44 points. He has double-digit rebounds in 16 consecutive games. He has also been known to throw in an assist or two.
And in his last eight games against the Sixers, he is averaging 28.1 points, 13.3 rebounds and 11.1 assists . . . In the four of those games that were in Oklahoma City: 31.3, 13.0 and 12.3. Those are some big numbers, so let’s double up with him.
Pick: Simmons Pts./Reb./Ast. Over 36.5 ($5/-120)
Pick: Westbrook Pts./Reb./Ast. Over 45.5 ($10/-118)
