Tip 1: Tre Jones - Under 6.5 Assists vs Chicago Bulls - 1.5pts

Best price of 4/5 available with betway when publishing.

After going over this assist line in the first three games of the season, Tre Jones has gone under in his previous six games for the San Antonio Spurs. 

Jones hasn't seen a dip in playing time either so the opportunity to back him again to go under looks too good to pass up. 

Our Positive EV tool has the probability of this bet landing at 79.24%, so the odds of 4/5 with betway when publishing gives us a Positive EV of 42.63% on this play.

The Orlando Magic are giving up 25.3 points per game to the small forward position, the sixth highest in the NBA this season. 

Our Positive EV tool has the probability of this bet landing at 74.04%, so the odds of 1/1 with BetMGM when publishing gives us a Positive EV of 48.08% on this play.

New Orleans Pelicans @ Phoenix Suns

Tip 4: Dillon Brooks - Over 2.5 Rebounds vs New Orleans Pelicans - 1.25pts

4/5 best odds available with betway/Boyle Sports when publishing. 

After missing six games through injury, Dillon Brooks returned to the Phoenix Suns team on Saturday, picking up two rebounds vs the Los Angeles Clippers. 

Brooks only played 27 mins that game, and should return to his 30+ min total on Monday vs the Pelicans. 

In his first three games of the season, Brooks picked up rebound totals of 3,3, and 4, and the Pelicans are giving up the third-highest rebounds to small forwards in the NBA (9.38 per game). 

Our Positive EV tool has the probability of this bet landing at 75.73%, so the odds of 4/5 with betway when publishing gives us a Positive EV of 36.31% on this play.

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Miami Heat

Tip 5: De'Andre Hunter - Over 1.5 Assists vs Miami Heat - 1.5pts

Best odds of 4/5 available with multiple boomakers when publishing.

De'Andre Hunter has exceeded the 2+ assist mark in every start this season for Cleveland and looks to hit it again vs Miami on Monday night. 

The Miami Heat are giving up 4.7 assists per game to small forwards (eight-highest) and if Hunter gets his usual minutes of 21-24+, we should see him with plenty of chances to hit this line again. 

Hunter has hit this assist line in 10/11 matches vs the Miami Heat. 

Our Positive EV tool has the probability of this bet landing at 75.52%, so the odds of 4/5 when publishing gives us a Positive EV of 35.94% on this play.

0.75pts Treble

Vucevic Under 18.5 Points - Tre Jones Under 6.5 Assists - De'Andre Hunter Over 1.5 Assists.

Best price of just under 5/1 with Betway, Ladbrokes, Coral, and Boyle Sports.
