Check out Brad’s BEST PICKS, including his $19 PICK OF THE DAY!
Tyrese Haliburton Over 9.5 Assists
Haliburton is averaging 9.2 assists per game, ranking fourth in the league. Haliburton also contributes 18.7 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, with a field goal percentage of 47.3%. Notably, in the Pacers' last game against the Charlotte Hornets on April 2, 2025, he recorded a double-double with 22 points and 10 assists, leading the Pacers to a 119-105 victory. Haliburton's consistent performance has been instrumental in the Pacers' offensive strategy throughout the season. He has a favorable matchup in this one going against the Jazz, who are giving up 29.3 assists per game to opposing teams, which is the most in the league. Expect another good night from Haliburton facilitating the ball.
Isiah Collier Over 10.5 Points
Utah Jazz rookie guard Isaiah Collier has maintained consistent scoring throughout the 2024-25 NBA season. Over 68 games, he has averaged 8.3 points per game, with a field goal percentage of 41.9%. Notably, in his last game, Collier achieved a career-high 22 points against the Houston Rockets, shooting 63.6% from the field and 40.0% from three-point range. His consistent development and contributions have been a positive aspect of the Jazz's season. Collier has scored 16+ points in 4 of his last 5 games so he’s fully capable of getting over this number. It seems like the Jazz are utilizing him more and more as this season comes to an end.
Pascal Siakam Under 21.5 Points
Pascal Siakam is averaging 20.3 points per game, ranking 34th in the league. Siakam has achieved this with a field goal percentage of 51.8%, placing him 25th among NBA players. Taking the over on Siakam‘s points was a moneymaker for me at the beginning of the season, but as of late, that has changed. We’ve seen him score 15 or fewer points in his last 6 games. Until Siakam shows me something different, I’m looking to attack his unders as we finish up the regular season.
