Capper Penguin's Thursday NBA Ladder Play - 12/15

Capper Penguin is back on the NBA grind with ladder play for Thursday night!

Time to bring out the ladders for the rookie at home! Jabari Smith has hit this line in his last 7 straight games at home averaging 9.43 RPG. He’s hit 10+ in 3/7 games and 8+ in 6/7 games. He’s yet to face MIA, but there’s a couple things I like about the matchup. First of all, the Heat are coming off a back to back traveling from Oklahoma City meaning they should have tired legs. They also tend to sit some starters on back to backs. Second, they allow THE LEAST rebounds to the Center position and 5th MOST rebounds to power forwards giving Jabari to an uptick as Bam gives Senguin trouble.

Give me the rookie at home vs a tired Heat team.
