Memphis Grizzlies - Orlando Magic

Kings with the returning Sabonis and the 4th game against Peru look strong, especially since they will be playing at home - making Peru particularly accessible. The Blazers are higher in the standings, but they are playing back to back games and their team leader Avdija is injured and didn't play in the last three games. Kings are aiming to continue their 4-game home winning streak against Peru, and with Domantas leading the team, I believe they will be able to do so against the weakened Blazers.

I will take a pair of Barnes' bets from these games, a double double and Pts+Rebs Over. Barnes historically plays very well against the Lakers, with 24 PPG and 11 RPG in 6 games against this franchise. The Lakers team is one of the most challenging opponents in his career, so Barnes tends to perform better against them. This season, there is an even greater potential for him to excel, as the team's defense is not very strong and Barnes can easily dominate. In his 6 previous games against the Lakers, he has averaged a total of 28.5 points and rebounds (34, 29, 41, 30, 48 and 30). There is also potential for him to achieve a double double with assists, as he is a good playmaker.

I will take a pair of Barnes' bets from these matches, the double-double and Pts+Rebs Over bets. Barnes historically plays very well against the Lakers, making them one of his favorite opponents. He has averaged 24 PPG and 11 RPG in 6 games against this franchise. The Lakers team is one of those opponents that players always try harder against, but this season, it is even more possible to play well against them as they do not have a strong defensive team. Barnes could potentially dominate, especially since the Lakers lack a strong front line and overall are a weak team. His average for PTS REBS Total is 28.5 in the 6 games against the Lakers (34, 29, 41, 30, 48 and 30 in the past meetings). As for the double-double, there is also potential for Barnes to achieve it, along with assists, as he is a good playmaker.
