NBA Bets: Marcus Smart + Rui Ladder
Tuesday, October 21
Rui Hachimura O 12.5 PTS (+102 FD)
Hachimura 18+ Pts (+320 FD | .3u)
Hachimura 20+ PTS (+560 FD | .2u)
Marcus Smart O 1.5 3s (+164 FD)
Rui Hachimura Points
Reasons I love this bet, short and sweet:
Stretch 4s vs GSW have themselves a time. John Collins, Santi Aldama, Rui Hachimura, etc. If you can spot up from the PF position, you can score and rebound vs GSW
Rui had 18, 11, and 24 point vs GSW last season with LeBron James in all 3 games and LeBron is out in this one
He averaged 19 ppg in his last 10 without The King
Marcus Smart O 1.5 3s (+164 FD)
Playable to +125
It's the first game of the season so let's make sure we find at least one nice plus-money hitter in addition to the Rui alt plays. I think Smart is basically going to be Luka's Dorian Finney-Smith archetype in this offense: Guard guys who are bigger than you and make spot up 3s. Especially when there's no LeBron and he has a few more looks as a spot up 3PT. Put me down for a projection for 5 attempts so I'll take +164 for him to make 2.
