Top NBA Plays Wednesday March 16th| Who's Next?

It was just another night in the Association when Kyrie Irving dropped 60 points on the Magic on Tuesday, following up Karl-Anthony Towns' 60-burger on Monday. Can we make it three in a row? There's a possibility with Trae Young and Steph Curry both going for 47 in their last games and a whopper of a 12-game slate on tap.

🏀Top 5 Player Props March 16th 🏀

LineStar has a new Player Prop tab that lets you search for the best individual props through apps such as DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and PointsBet. Here are some of the best bets for tonight:

🏀Kevin Durant (Over 30.5 points) -Kyrie Irving just dropped 60, and now he's out, due to the game being in BKN. Durant had 53 in his last game in Brooklyn.

🏀Deandre Ayton (Over 9.5 rebounds) -He grabbed 16 boards on Sunday and has posted double-digit rebounds in 3 of the last 5. Houston has allowed 10+ to five straight starting C's.

🏀Pascal Siakam (Over 37.5 points, rebounds, assists) - There could be a ton of usage opening up if Gary Trent (illness) and Fred VanVleet (knee) sit. Siakam has 24+ points in 6 of the last 7 and 5+ rebounds and assists in three straight.

🏀Kevin Porter, Jr. (Over 13.5 points) - Phoenix is solid vs. the PG spot, but Porter, Jr. has over 13.5 points in 4 of his past 6. He's also averaging 16 ppg vs. the Suns in two games this season, and PHX is on the back to back.

🏀Clint Capela (Over 23.5 points and rebounds) - He's coming off a 16 rebound performance on Monday and bigs usually shine vs. Charlotte. The points are actually the real concern here.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Hawks @ Hornets (-1.5), O/U 237.5 7:00 ET

We will see if Trae Young keeps the hot hand as he has averaged 46.5 real points over his last two games. Young has at least 39 fp in three games vs. the Hornets this season, but that's not going to cut it on a $10.3k price tag.

76ers (-4) @ Cavs, O/U 218.5 7:00 ET

It's looking like a Joel Embiid night as Cleveland has been getting torched by opposing centers since Jarrett Allen went down - and it's Embiid's birthday. Over the last three games, Ivica Zubac has posted 24 points & 14 rebounds, Nikola Vucevic 20&14, and Bam Adebayo 30 & 17. Yikes.

Mavs (-1.5) @ Nets , OU 221.5 7:30 ET

Brooklyn was on it in a 150-108 win over the Magic last night, upping their average over the current four-game win streak to 130 ppg. Three of those were with Kyrie Irving in the lineup, which he will not be tonight due to the game being back in New York. Kevin Durant shot just 6-9 while Irving was doing work last night (20-31) so expect KD to do some launching.

Lakers @ Timberwolves (-8.5), O/U 237 8:00 ET

Who would've thought - the Lakers are 5-14 their last 19 while the T'Wolves are 8-1 their last 9. The Minnesota offense is clicking with 124+ in 7 of their last 9, including Monday's 149-139 win over the Spurs led by a 60 burger🍔from Karl-Anthony Towns (with 17 rebounds) for 90fp.

Bulls @ Jazz (-6), O/U 225 9:00 ET

Chicago has dropped 6 of 8, Utah 4 of 7 as both teams sit in 4th place in their respective conferences. The Bulls are coming off a bad 112-103 loss to Sacramento on Monday despite 20+ points from each of the big three of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic.

Celtics @ Warriors (-3.5) , OU 220 10:00 ET

Draymond Green returned on Monday for GSW and had a decent 6/7/6 line (25fp) for playing just 20 minutes. The Warriors didn't need much from him as Steph Curry was going off for a 47 real point night, but things get tougher against Boston who has won 16 of their last 19.

Raptors (-1.5) @ Clippers , OU 218 10:30 ET

Toronto is 4-1 on their current road trip that wraps up tonight against the Clippers. The Raptors already have a win in L.A this week, toppling the Lakers 114-103 on Monday behind 27/11 from Pascal Siakam. It's been Ivica Zubac stepping up his game lately for the Clips', going for 24/12, 14/15, and 24/14 over his last three.
