Tari Eason o16.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-112)
During the Rockets' current five-game winning streak, Eason is averaging 13.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, both up from his season averages. He's shooting more - and more confidently - than ever, and should also be able to find success on the boards against Golden State. This PRA number appears far too low given Eason's recent play and this matchup, so I'm backing the Over.
Kevin Durant o35.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-110)
Across his last five games, KD has averaged 36.2 PRA and gone for 36+ three times. He’s been even more productive across his last seven games overall, averaging 39.1 PRA while clearing this combo line five times. The future Hall-of-Famer has averaged 34.5 PRA at home but a whopping 37.5 on the road, and he’s gone for 36+ PRA in three of his last four away games. Durant has cleared this line in 38 of 74 games overall, including 24 of 36 on the road.

ATL -1.5 (+100)
The Hawks are 8-2 in their last 10 as they desperately push to stay out of the Play-In bubble. They've coalesced into an effective unit, especially since trading Trae Young to Washington. This is a coin-flip match in the odds, so I'll take the plus money on the home team to win by a bucket.

PHI +8.5 (-110)
The Spurs should have the edge in this game and are deserving favorites, but the 76ers are hovering around the Play-In and are mostly healthy for the first time in ages. Expect Philly to play desperation ball and stay close enough to cover.
