Hats off to DraftKings for giving alt lines in the NBA points market. We don't have them for this game (yet) but I have seen them for others. That's called progress people. With that being said, we're at FanDuel for this one since we don't have alt numbers for this game anywhere else that I see. It is what it is.
So we have choices here and the one I made was to tack on a point to Luka's standard line for plus money. Some people will probably go 35+ (+188) which I commend because that's ballsy. I know we're talking Luka here but 35+ is still a hell of a game. The thing is, for Luka it's nothing. He's already done it once this season and he's only played two games. He's just got it like that.
One thing I like is the fact that Luka takes all the shots. Can't score if you don't shoot. That's just science. Luka has tossed up 23 shots in both games he's played so far which is fine. That doesn't even count the 18 free throws he's taken either. But that's not even what this one is all about. This one is about pace.
So far this season, only three teams in the NBA have had more possessions per game than New Orleans. That's good because Dallas plays kind of slow. Any extra possessions would help especially since it will likely lead to Luka shots. The guy took 23 shots against a similarly paced Memphis team in just 29 minutes last time out. He would have taken more had the Mavericks not blown them out. If this stays close, I think Luka gets home easily on this.
