New Orleans @ Milwaukee picks

With Damian Lillard sidelined, Rollins has excelled in point guard duties. Over the last eight games he’s averaging 13 points on 8.5 field goal attempts and is logging almost 26 minutes of floor time. His scoring prop for Thursday sits as low as 7.5 O/U but some books have either juiced the Over or already made the jump to 8.5 points. Rollins has scored double figures in six of his last eight games, with two five-point showings versus top-tier defenses in Miami and Minnesota. Milwaukee has a good shot of keeping this streak alive, facing a Pelicans team playing out the remaining games with a skeleton crew and no chance of a postseason spot. New Orleans is 4-14 SU over their last 18 games while allowing an average of 118.6 points against in the span. Rollins’ player projections all call for more than 10 points tonight with my projection at 10.7 points, which should have the Over 7.5 points listed at -255.
