Lonnie Walker IV (LAL) Under 18.5 Pts+Reb+Ast

Lonnie Walker IV has been the driving force behind the Lakers’ success this season, but in recent games, he’s hit a bit of a rough patch. Despite averaging a solid 19.50 points, rebounds, and assists per game this season, he’s only managed to rack up an average of 17.5 in the past 10 games.

In fact, in six out of those 10 games, he’s had 18 or fewer points+rebounds+assists.

I expect this to continue moving forward.

Joel Embiid (PHI) Over 45.5 Pts+Reb+Ast

Joel Embiid is having an MVP-caliber season for the Philadelphia 76ers. He’s consistently putting up huge numbers, averaging nearly 48 points, rebounds, and assists per game. Every time he touches the ball, he’s a threat to either score or set up his teammates. In the past five games, he’s been even better, averaging over 54 points, rebounds, and assists per game. And in seven of the last ten games, he’s had at least 46 points, rebounds, and assists.

Tonight, the Sixers will face off against the Golden State Warriors in what should be a challenging matchup. Although the Sixers are favorites by almost 10 points, I’m hopeful for a competitive game. And with Joel Embiid leading the way, I expect him to have plenty of opportunities to put up big numbers once again.
