Coming off a 4-1 week in our Look of the Day series, we're looking to stay hot with the start of a new week. Let's take a look at our favorite bet for Monday night's NBA slate and keep the profit train rolling.
Scottie Barnes has been a stat-stuffing machine in the month of February. Over his last six starts, the Toronto Raptors forward is averaging 18.5 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game. That stretch also includes an outlier performance in which he shot just 3-15 from the field and finished the game with only seven points.
Now he gets to face off against an Indiana Pacers team that ranks second in the NBA in pace. Indiana loves to play fast and create as many possessions as possible, which will give Barnes more chances to rack up points, rebounds and assists than he would in a typical game.
The Raptors went up against the Pacers right before the All-Star break, and Barnes went off for 29 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. He also attempted 22 shots in the game, his third-highest total of the season.
In two games against the Pacers this season, Barnes is averaging 42.5 PRA. We're expecting another monster performance on Monday night.
