Great start to the week with the Celtics and the Lakers winning by 37 points combined! Let’s build off of that tonight with a couple high percentage plays.

Florida (-112) 🥈
Florida is coming off of a huge win on the road against #1 Auburn and that’s the second time they have beat the #1 ranked team this season. Some would call for a let down game from the Gators tonight but I’m thinking opposite as they look to continue to rank up (currently #3).
Miss St is ranked #22 but mostly based off of the early season success they had against their cupcake schedule when they started the season 14-1 before they got into the bulk of the SEC opponents (actual good teams) and they have gone 0-4 vs Top 10 teams since then losing by 12 to Tennessee who Florida already beat and losing by 22 to Auburn who Florida just beat.
Florida was missing their second leading scorer Alijah Martin in that game vs Auburn and they expect to get him back for tonight’s game.
Both teams are great offensively and that’s why there’s a huge over under number for this game but I believe the difference maker will be the 9th ranked Florida defensive efficiency rating against the 108th ranked Miss St defensive efficiency rating.
Let’s go with the Gators, dey cold blooded and this is a nice price.

Player Prop
Zach Edey O (7.5) 🥇
I feel like this one is a good find based on the matchup.
So the Suns traded away their starting center Jusuf Nurkic which got me thinking when I saw this matchup for tonight. They recently brought in Nick Richards who is great offensively and a good rebounder but his defense has been lacking based on what recent big guys have done against the Suns. List em KOF - Jokic 26, Kessler 19, Hartenstein 9, Ayton 25, Ayton 24, Post 9 - that’s 6 straight big men who have gone 7.5 with ease against the Suns.
Tonight’s game on TNT has a 244.5 over under so there will be a fuck ton of points. I love the matchup for Zach Edey tonight and expect him to go over 7.5 for us.
Edey has scored double digits in 3 of his last 4 games and he’s averaging 9.7 ppg on the season.
