Is there anything more enjoyable in the NBA right now than watching Zion Williamson play? He has been incredible this month as he is averaging nearly 27 points per game on 66 percent shooting. Williamson is coming off a fantastic game against the Detroit Pistons as he scored 32 points on just 18 shots without making (or taking) a single three. Up next for the NBA’s newest superstar is the Milwaukee Bucks in primetime on TNT. Will the Bucks’ length, size and athleticism be able to slow down Williamson? Maybe. But look for him to exceed his 25.5 point total set by PointsBet. Williamson is just playing too good of basketball right now to bet against and he should have another stellar performance in this game, as well.
Kyrie Irving, SG, Brooklyn Nets vs. Orlando Magic

Kyrie Irving: Under 28.5 Pts

With Kevin Durant still out of the lineup, Kyrie Irving has taken over a bigger scoring role for the Nets this season. In fact, he’s having a career year in Brooklyn, averaging 27.4 points on nearly 52 percent from the field. However, his scoring has been up and down during this month as he’s averaging *just* 25.6 points per game in his last eight contests. During that stretch, he’s scored more than 28 points just twice. The Nets will take on the Magic on Thursday night in a game they should easily win. However, it’s worth mentioning that the Magic do have a top-ten scoring defense this season and they could slow down Irving some in this game. Expect Irving and the Nets to play well, but for him to ultimately score under 28.5 points on Thursday.
Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers vs. Dallas Mavericks
Over 30.5 points (-110)

Joel Embiid: Over 30.5 Pts

Typically, we stay away from point totals that approach 30 or more points as too many things can go wrong before a player reaches that number. The game flow could get out of hand one way or another or a player could get into foul trouble. But in the case of Joel Embiid, 30.5 points might not be high enough. Over his last 15 games, Embiid is averaging an insane 33.4 points per game. During that stretch, he’s scored 3o or more points 11 times. He’s coming off two lower-scoring outings after playing the Raptors in back-to-back games, but look for him to bounce back in a big way on Thursday night on the national stage. The 76ers will take on the Dallas Mavericks in Philadelphia and that should be a phenomenal matchup for Embiid. Dallas is allowing nearly 114 points per game and they just don’t have the size in the frontcourt to slow him down. Look for the All-Star center to take upwards of 20 shots in this game and easily clear the 30.5 point over/under.
