Assists

Picked: Oct 22 @ 11:25pm

Analysis

KAT has played the Celtics 10 times in his career. He’s only had more than four assists once, coming back in 2024. He only played 24 minutes in the home opener, due to foul trouble. Similar to banner night, wouldn’t be surprised if he commits at least two fouls in the first quarter, having to sit out most of the first half like us fans have become accustomed to. Early in the season, he’ll look to establish himself as a scorer as compared to the end of last season where he was more of a distributor in the playoffs.

Picked: Oct 23 @ 6:36am

Analysis

FanDuel. Jalen Johnson had an off game, by his standards, opening night against the Magic, shooting 7-19 and getting into foul trouble in the second half. Yet, he still managed 40 combined points, rebounds and assists, which was his average from last season. He cleared this line in 41/62 (67%) games last year playing 20+ minutes without Trae Young. The Hornets are a great spot for Johnson as they do not have a frontcourt matchup to counter Johnson’s athleticism.

PTS + REB

Picked: Oct 23 @ 6:47am

Analysis

DraftKings. Collin Murray-Boyles was trending for 24-28 minutes against the Bulls, had it not been for a blowout on Opening Night. Despite a poor shooting night, the big man showed that he’s going to be an integral piece of the offense with seven shot attempts, nine rebounds and three assists in just 20 minutes. He should thrive against the Wizards, especially in the non-Anthony Davis minutes. I love this line, but also would bet over 18.5 PRA as an alternative.

+191

2+ Total Bases

Picked: Oct 20 @ 4:08am

Analysis

Jacob Misiorowski relies on his four-seam fastball, using it for 63.4% of his pitches. Most major-league hitters with average bat speed (under 72 mph) have trouble catching up to his high velocity. Junior Caminero has elite bat speed, averaging 77.4 mph (99th percentile), and his power numbers back it up: 42 home runs, a 13.1% barrel rate, and a 49.7% hard-hit rate in the regular season. Statcast data shows that Caminero does very well against fastballs thrown at 98 mph or higher, producing a .412 xwOBA and a .568 xSLG. Since Misiorowski often attacks the strike zone (6.6% walk rate), Caminero will at least have a chance. The roof at American Family Field will be closed for Game 1, which slightly favors hitters.

Outs Recorded

Picked: Oct 20 @ 5:52am

Analysis

Drew Rasmussen is a great pitcher but I'll take the under on 17.5 outs on most starters in this spot. Going up against the Brewers at home in the World Series. With it being the first game of the series, it's not imperative that the Rays' starter goes six innings. With the bullpen being fully rested, they have multiple lefty relievers who can match up with the many left-handed bats on Milwaukee. If he shuts them out for a full six innings, then so be it, but this line should really be maxing out at 16.5 outs.
