Only five games on the NBA docket for this Tuesday night.  Three of the five feature Vegas totals of over 200 including a massive 229.5 O/U for the Rockets vs Warriors game.  It goes without saying that people will be heavily stacking rosters full of players from this late tip.  That game is also the only double-digit spread on the evening so we have that going for us.

The numbers in the parenthesis are the number of experts that picked that player to give you more context as to the gaps between players and the tiers.

Highly Touted

  • Carmelo Anthony (8x) – Melo went for 37 points in the earlier matchup against the Wizards this season.
  • Kawhi Leonard (7x) – Leonard is aveargin 20.6ppg and 6.2rpg over the last five.
  • Derrick Favors (7x) – A double-double in two of the last three games.  He should be able to exploit a mismatch down low against Dallas tonight.

  • Arron Afflalo (6x) – Averaging 40 minutes/game and 17.8ppg over the last four.
  • Klay Thompson (6x) – Thompson has scored 30.6ppg in the last five.  This game features a massive O/U of 229.5.
