Kevin Durant (BKN) Over 30.5 Points -106

In Durants 5 regular season games with the Nets, he scored 39, 32, 32, 40, and 30 points. That's not including an incredibly impressive playoff series that I’m sure he's looking to get some revenge for. Durant is playing great basketball right now, and every single game matters for the Nets playoff seeding. Durant is averaging 31.0 points in the month of March, and I’m expecting another important performance tonight on national tv. 

Kevin Durant (BKN) & Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL) Over 30.5 Points +600

It's hard not to expect all the stars to shine in tonight's games. While it may not be playoff time quite yet, we have very competitive games with playoff seeding, and MVP/Award implications. Giannis is coming into this game hot, just scoring 40 points against Joel Embiid and averaging 34.3 points over his L8. He’s shown up for these important games all season long, and we’ve seen the Bucks play up to their competition time and time again. With a 243.5 game total, Vegas is expecting a lot of offense, and so am I. 

Alex Caruso (CHI) Over 0.5 Steals & Paul George (LAC) Over 0.5 Assists 1Q -135

Paul George to have a 1 first quarter assist is priced at only -260, which I think is a mistake. George is back, and looks very healthy. I think we are getting this price because of the uncertainty of his first quarter minutes, but we are only asking him to grab 1 assist. George had 6 assist, over 10 potential assists, and 31 minutes in his first game back, proving he is plenty healthy. Caruso is a nice parlay peice, hes back to playing regular minutes, and averaging 1.6 steals per game in march. Caruso has a steal in 9 of 10 games this month, and has a good history against the Clippers with a 3 steal game earlier this year.
