Watch for Brandon Miller the playmaker to shine against the Paolo-less Orlando Magic, while De’Anthony Melton should make his presence felt in his second start for the Warriors.
The sophomore star for the Hornets is having a fantastic year so far, averaging 19 PPG on 42/36/93 shooting splits in five games played in November.
Miller is now a key piece of this offense and since coming back from a short stint on the sideline, he’s delivered with 3.8 APG over his last five.
Playing an Orlando team without Paolo Banchero but outstanding guard defenders, I’m looking for Brandon Miller to serve as the secondary playmaker next to LaMelo in this one, hitting the three-assist mark for the fourth time in six games.
OG has caught fire recently for the Knicks, averaging nearly 20 PPG on 50% shooting from deep this month. With that being said, New York is 4-5 and have just won once in their last four outings.
After a tough loss to newfound rival Indiana, I’m looking for Anunoby to be the bounce-back player against a Philly team lacking defensive chops.
OG has hit this PRA mark in five straight games, hitting the 20-point mark in three of five of those outings.
George is banged up and faces a Suns defense that has outperformed their expectations this season.
With better perimeter defense, I’m looking for a bigger game from Walker Kessler, Markkanen, and the Jazz frontcourt in comparison to their backcourt.
George has been off at home as well, averaging just 21.3 PRA in four games played. Similarly, he’s averaged just 13.7 PPG against Western Conference squads this year, truly struggling to make an impact against the tough perimeter defenders in the conference.
Keyontae has missed this PRA number in his last two outings against Phoenix.
The newest addition to the Golden State Warriors starting lineup should get a boost on Tuesday night. After coming back from injury, the 3&D Melton put together a 19-point, 10 rebound, 2 assist performance against OKC in a victory.
Now taking Gary Payton II’s spot in the starting lineup, expect a 30-minute outing for Melton, who is fantastic on the boards and as a wing connector on offense.
Dallas is coming off two straight games allowing 114+ points and have played Golden State extremely close over the last few seasons. I’m looking for the over in this game that should go down to the wire.
