1u - Cole Anthony Over 4.5 AST / Wendell Carter 20+ PTS/REB (-105) (Bet $105 to Win $100)
*Odds Available at DraftKings at Time of Publishing*
First off, for those that don’t do many same parlays you can find Wendell Carter's leg of this prop under “Stat Combos’ when you’re on the SGP screen. That leg for Wendell Carter has hit in 30 straight games. That is not a typo, you can go look for yourself. The initial bet I wanted was Cole Anthony over 4.5 AST but it’s massively juiced at -165. You’re telling me adding a prop that has hit in 30 straight will reduce my juice by 60 cents on the dollar? Count me in. Let's get into why I love Cole Anthony's prop so much.

Cole Anthony is a guy who doesn’t get talked about a ton. He’s not amazing but certainly not awful. Playing in Orlando people don’t pay a close eye on him and let his good games and accomplishments become disregarded. Cole has quietly had a really nice stretch though. Anthony has 5 or more assists in 9 of his last 10 games and is averaging 6.5 assists in this span. Without Jalen Suggs, he is averaging 6.5 assists per game also on the season in 21 games. Asking for only 5 assists seems very reasonable against a Cavs defense who have allowed Caruso to get 7, VanVleet to get 8, Westbrook to get 11, and Cunningham to get 10 in the last week alone.
Even though Wendell has hit 20+ PTS/REB in 30 straight I still acknowledge the possibility of that streak ending soon but not tonight. The Cavs have been abysmal lately at protecting the paint with the absense of Jarrett Allen. Wendell should be well rested and this is one of his last chances at proving his worth before being eligible for a big contract. The Magic have nothing to play for so minutes aren’t a guarantee but this just feels like a no-brainer leg to add to the main I wanted. Overall I really enjoy this bet and think both legs have 3rd quarter potential to hit.
