The NBA play-in tournament starts on Tuesday, and we are LOCKED IN! Leaning on LeBron James to stay red-hot and dominate the Pelicans, which he loves to do. Also, we have another Yankees parlay after sweeping yesterday’s slate!
Follow us on social media to get MORE fire plays:
LeBron James is averaging 9.6 assists per game over his last 24 games, and he will be the primary ballhandler in this play-in.
Playoff LeBron James is one of the best scorers in NBA history, and with his team playing for a chance to get into the playoffs, he’ll be uber-aggressive against the Pelicans. His improved three-point shooting and consistent ability to drive to the basket can be unstoppable.
Austin Reaves has averaged 16.4 points per game over his last 30 games, hitting the 10+ point line in 28 of those games as well.
The Kings are a terrible defensive team and Stephen Curry is one of the most volume-heavy scorers in the league thanks to being the greatest shooter of all time.
Klay Thompson has re-emerged on the Warriors after a brutal start to his season, averaging 20.5 points per game and shooting 41.1% from three on nearly 10 attempts per game. The Kings poor perimeter presence makes this a great matchup for Klay.
The Warriors lack of an interior presence makes this an excellent matchup for Damontis Sabonis, who is averaging a whopping 14.8 rebounds a game over his last 24 contests.
Anthony Volpe has a career .270 average against lefties, and as the leadoff hitter, he should get a bunch of chances to get a knock. He’s also recorded a hit in 12 of his first 16 games.
Yusei Kikuchi has struck out seven Yankees in his last two starts against them, and has a 26.3% strikeout rate since last year as well.
