Kevin Durant over 27.5 points
In Phoenix’s last five games without Devin Booker this year, Durant has put up 19+ shots four times. When getting that shot volume or more, Durant has scored 28 or more in 23 of 30 games. While Durant hasn’t played Boston since 2022, he’s fared well against Tatum and Brown, posting 37 and 31 in 2022. With Phoenix hovering towards the back of playoff seeding, they’ll look for Durant to create against Boston, which is coming off of back-to-back losses to open its road trip.
Immanuel Quickley over 2.5 threes made
Quickley has taken a stronghold on primary ball-handler usage in Toronto. The third-year guard is averaging 20.9 points per game, 8.3 assists and 8.6 three point attempts since the break, shooting 43.5 percent from three. That volume should bode well against a young Portland backcourt that allowed Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet to go 11 of 24 last game. Ladder Quickley up to 5+ made threes.
Kevin Holland moneyline
Holland’s explosive striking and athleticism will give the older Page trouble in his UFC debut. For juice, Holland is +700 to win by submission and two of his last three wins have been via choke. The fight is also plus money to not go the distance.
Parlay: Sean O’Malley moneyline + Benoit Saint Davis double chance by KO/TKO or submission.
O’Malley’s first loss to Chito Vera was a result of his knee injury, which won’t happen again. BSD has finished five straight fights and Dustin Poirier has been finished twice in his last three fights coming off of a brutal head-kick KO.
