More or Less 2/2 – Cleveland Cavaliers/Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James relies heavily on the status of Anthony Davis tonight. It seems as if the latter is closer to doubtful than probable, though. In two games since the injury to Davis, James is averaging 33.0 points per game. He was able to score 31 and 35 points in those games. He also averaged 22.0 shot attempts, 9.0 three-point attempts, and 6.0 free throw attempts per game in those contests. James gets a matchup against his former team, who ranks 29th in the NBA in defensive rating. Cleveland doesn’t feature anyone that will be able to slow James down, and his point total depends on how much he wants to take this game over tonight.
Collin Sexton has quietly caught fire recently. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 22.3 points on 18.7 shot attempts, 4.7 three-point attempts, and 3.3 free throw attempts in 36.0 minutes per game. Sexton has scored 20+ points in 7 of his last 10 games, but he has scored at least 18 points in every game. He gets a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, who rank fourth in the NBA in defensive rating. With that being said, he recently topped 20 points against the Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Toronto Raptors, and Boston Celtics. Sexton will have a massive role in the offense once again, and this total is set at bit low for his recent production.
Play 1 unit on LeBron James OVER 28.5 points and Collin Sexton OVER 19.5 points to win 3 units (3x)
