Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is betting on Ja Morant Double Double +240…
Thomas: “Before you knock it, think about this for a second. We have a total of 242 points, and Morant is projected to score 26. He’s been scorching hot these past few games, and it’s expected for him to have another monster night. If we at home on our couches know that don’t you think the Jazz also know that? I imagine Will Hardy will send help and try to make anyone, but Morant beat them. Given his great matchup, I was torn between Bane 30+ points or Morant DD. However, Morant has had 17 potential assists per game in the last three games. I expect him to flirt with the DD, and the price is nice.”
