Domantas Sabonis over 36.5 points + rebounds + assists
Sabonis' stock is sky-high after a triple-double in the Pacers' loss to Portland on Sunday. He'll have a chance to keep rolling on Wednesday against a Bulls defense that will be down Wendell Carter Jr. and Lauri Markkanen and could also be without Luke Kornet. Chicago's had zero answers for opposing frontcourts this season, allowing the most fantasy points to power forwards and the fourth-most fantasy points to centers. Don't be surprised if Sabonis submits another solid showing.
Jonas Valanciunas under 27.5 points + rebounds + assists
Memphis-New York might be one of the better "over" plays on the board for Wednesday considering how the Grizzlies have fared on the second half of back-to-backs (going 6-0 to the over this season), but my first look here is the under on Valanciunas' combined point, rebound, and assist total. Despite ranking in the bottom half of the league in scoring defense, the Knicks have actually defended well near their basket, ranking third in paint points allowed per game. New York has also allowed the third-fewest points to opposing centers this season.
Rudy Gobert over 34.5 points + rebounds + assists
Someone's bound to go off for the Jazz on Wednesday. Utah's been one of the best bounce-back teams in the league, as evidenced by its record against the spread and its offensive efficiency following a loss. I'm betting on Gobert to step up, as the Spurs have surrendered north of 39 combined points, rebounds, and assists to opposing centers.
Ja Morant over 16.5 points
Morant weathered the storm in one of his toughest matchups of the season on Tuesday against Denver, posting 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting in a big win for the Grizzlies. Since we're predicting a high-scoring contest here, Morant should be a great play. The Knicks' defense has allowed more than 23 points per game to opposing point guards and could be behind the eight ball in the second leg of a back-to-back.
