Morning team. Had a busy few days so not all that much time to post but got a couple to get us underway today - neither of these are over/under props, instead double-doubles so hopefully you can find them - both of them at around even money for me.
Clippers @ 76ers - Andre Drummond to record a double-double
I get this at $1.90 with my main bookie, whatever that translates to. Drummond is getting plenty of playing time with Embiid out and has been sailing to double-doubles pretty easily his last few games - in his last five, his point-rebound numbers have been 13-13, 4-8, 17-12, 14-13 and 12-11. Four relatively comfortable double-double, and who would guess, the solitary one in which he missed was the solitary game in that group that Embiid has played. Without Joel in, Drummond has been getting 30+ minutes a night (closer to 35 his last three), and making matters even better tonight is that the Sixers back-up center behind Drummond in Adem Bona will join Embiid on the sidelines. That means they'll need to lean heavily on big Andre tonight, particularly given Zubac will play a decent number of minutes for the Clips, so Philly don't have the option of going small. This should be closer to $1.50 imo.
Knicks @ Heat - Kel'el Ware to record a double-double
As above hopefully you have this option - for me it's at just over even money, sitting at +103 currently. Ware is another big man profiting from injury - already he'd been playing center for the Heat but alongside Bam his opportunities were limited. With Adebayo out, however, he has begun to find his feet as the Heat's primary big man. In his first game without his big buddy, Ware struggled with just 7 points and 6 boards; next game he went 9 and 12, and in the three since he's gone 14-20, 15-13 and 15-10. He's playing more and more minutes and making the most of them, and with the Knicks boasting Towns and Robinson, Coach Spo will probably need his five to play close to 35 minutes tonight. With an average of nearly 15 and 15 over his past three games (and around 12 and 12 in his past six, harking back to the game Bam got injured in) he looks like way overs to record another DD tonight.
