NickThePicker's +200 NBA Monday Builder - 1/23

Hello everyone! 

I, NickThePicker, am back with some NBA plays for today. I used to not be a fan of "builders" but after my last article win at +164 and seeing the recent success of my friend @callingourshots I have decided to explore this more and see where it takes me. The NBA can be a painful place, with blowouts, injuries, poor performances, and more. I want to avoid the pain and still have fun. That being said, I'm a greedy bitch so I'll be pushing things further to get max money. So for today I have looked at some of my favorite plays watered down to make a +203 parlay. 

Let's start with a seasoned vet, Mike Conley. Obviously Mike plays for the Jazz but he has hit 6 assists in 15 of the last 16 games. That's great consistency! The matchup is 2nd best overall vs the Hornets and he has averaged 15 potential assists in the last 10 games as well. Looks very easy on paper and I like his full line of 7.5 as well.

Markkanen is an absolute stud that has been showing out for the Utah Jazz but while everyone is talking about his lights out shooting his rebounding has really improved this month. He has gone over 8+ in 8 of the last 9 games and is averaging 14.9 chances per game in the last 15. Playing alongside Kessler and Vanderbilt is a concern but he has shown he can be consistent and when you add the fact that the Hornets give up the 3rd most rebounds to PFs on the year it looks like a great piece. 

Jalen Duren is a rebounding machine and really playing well since getting his uptick in minutes. We will take him for 8 rebounds which he has hit in 16 of the last 17 games and averages 17.8 chances per game in the last 15, yes 17.8. There is no Isaiah Stewart or Bagley in this game so plenty of minutes and opportunities.

The Bucks have some big men in Giannis (coming off injury), Lopez, and Portis but I'm confident the young man can get it done even in a blowout. In addition to that I also like Bucks ML with Giannis and Middleton back. You're probably thinking well that's dumb, no guys, it's not just dumb it's me being a greedy bitch as I referred to earlier. If the 11 point favorite Bucks lose to the pistons after getting Giannis and Middleton back. Well to be honest I'm not going to do shit but I'm going to bitch a lot and no one wants that.

Then we get into the Fast paced game that is the Kings vs the Grizzlies. Sabonis got 9 rebounds in his last game vs the 76ers and that was the first time since December 3rd he went under 10. I don't see that happening again so I'll take 10 boards for him. Dude's a beast, 10 is easy and again I'm being greedy but he averages 22.3 chances in the last 15 he won't be under 10 again.
