NBA (0.75 Unit) Julius Randle Over 37.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (-110; Odds via DraftKings): 8:30 PM CT on ESPN
No Anthony Edwards again tonight, so the Wolves have to turn to Randle. That hasn’t been a bad thing at all this season, as he’s consistently stepped up in Edwards’ absence and should again tonight. In the 8 games that Ant has missed, Randle has chipped in 39.4 points, rebounds and assists on average while going 5-3 over this total. Tonight he’ll be asked to carry the load against a Rockets team that’s really struggling lately and is on no rest after OKC ran them out last night. Houston is thin at the 4 spot, and Jabari Smith won’t be able to contain Randle if he goes with his bully-ball style, so expect another stat-stuffing game from him tonight.
NCAA Basketball (0.5 Unit) Baylor @ Kansas -7.5 (-110; Odds via Caesars): 7:00 PM CT on FOX
My Cyclones got a taste of angry Kansas this week, getting blown out of Phog Allen by 21 on Tuesday night. The Jayhawks needed that win, and they need to keep that energy up for a while, which I think they can do tonight. Bill Self is too good of a coach to allow his team to experience a letdown spot here, and I don’t think that situation technically applies to a team with such high expectations.
Kansas has everything they need to roll in this game, particularly on defense as they showed against ISU. Their elite effective field goal percentage defense, and three-point defense, makes it tough for anyone to score in this hostile environment, Baylor included. The Bears aren’t a great shooting team, relying heavily on second chance points, but are undersized here and I think KU can keep them off the offensive glass. With Darryn Peterson also picking it up the Jayhawks can really be dangerous, and I think they carry some momentum into tonight for another comfortable win.
