Jrue Holiday over 12.5 rebounds + assists (-122)

Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Jrue Holiday has had arguably one of his best seasons as a pro as a 32-year-old. His 25.6% usage rate this season is the most as a Buck as he’s been called upon with Khris Middleton missing plenty of games and now Giannis Antetokounmpo being doubtful for this contest. Holiday will need to continue his rapid usage against a Suns team that returned Devin Booker and is looking for vengeance following the NBA Finals loss 2 years ago.

Holiday has shined with Antetokounmpo out of the lineup this season. In 7 games without the former MVP, Holiday is averaging 24 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 10 assists. Most importantly, his usage rate is over 30% in those games. In a game with a spread of 3 points, Holiday is primed to play big minutes and needs to keep pace with the Boston Celtics for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Holiday is over this line in 6 of 7 games without Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak played only 4 minutes last game before exiting with injury with Holiday only being able to combine for 12 rebounds and assists. Look for the all-star to put the Bucks on his back in a big-time showdown between finals contenders.

Paul George Over 2.5 three-pointers (-128)

Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Paul George is coming off a 34-point game in which he played 40 minutes but was held out of the 2nd overtime due to load management concerns from the Clippers. This is not the first time this has happened. George and Kawhi Leonard have been the center of “load management,” and fans are displeased. George tried to re-enter the game on Friday night but the Clippers decided to go with newcomer Eric Gordon instead. PG3 will surely come out firing tonight after making 5 three-pointers in the last game.

The Clippers will look very different come Sunday night. Russell Westbrook will be starting at point guard for the 2nd straight game and just dished out 14 assists. Mason Plumlee will get the start at center and will have his hands full guarding Nikola Jokic in the paint. Westbrook and Leonard will command a ton of the offense while George plays off the ball and look for his outside shot. He shot 5 for 8 from deep last game and is a 38% shooter from 3 on the road. He is over this line in 3 straight road games and will need to continue to have a hot hand to stay afloat in the Western Conference standings, especially against the top-seeded Denver Nuggets.
