Lakers vs. Mavericks NBA Underdog Fantasy Predictions
Here are the Lakers vs. Mavericks NBA Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:
Klay Thompson Lower Than 17.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Thompson is projected by us to have 14.32 Points + Rebounds + Assists, significantly lower than the 17.5 threshold. With our simulations indicating a 7.2% edge, this pick boasts a 65% probability of success.
Based on these numbers, it seems favorable to expect lower than 17.5 from Thompson tonight. Our Defense vs. Archetypes Tool doesn’t have this as a standout spot.
Hornets vs. Raptors NBA Underdog Fantasy Predictions
Here are the Hornets vs. Raptors NBA Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:
Moussa Diabate Lower Than 9.5 Rebounds + Assists
Diabate is projected by us to have 7.16 Rebounds + Assists, significantly lower than the 9.5 threshold. With our simulations indicating a substantial 12.3% edge, this pick boasts a promising 70.1% chance of success.
Based on these numbers, it appears favorable to expect lower than 9.5 from Diabate tonight. This could work in our favor even more, as Diabate was just added to the injury report with an illness.
76ers vs. Wizards NBA Underdog Fantasy Predictions
Here are the 76ers vs. Wizards NBA Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:
Tristan Vukcevic Lower Than 7.5 Rebounds + Assists
Vukcevic is projected by us to have 5.46 Rebounds + Assists, comfortably lower than the 7.5 mark. With our simulations indicating a robust 9.7% edge, this pick boasts a 71.2% probability of success.
These statistics mean expecting lower than 7.5 for Vukcevic tonight is an excellent option. We have him projected for just 23 minutes tonight, which bodes well for this pick.
