What is going on FANation! We had no write up for Yesterday's 3 game slate as I wasn't really feeling the board and that is OK. It's good to realize that sometimes the best play is to not make a play at all. With that said we turn out attention to today's NBA slate with plenty of good options on the board!
We are 10-3 over the last three featured articles so let's get into today's top plays!

Today's Top Plays
Terry Rozier OVER 28.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists
No doubt right now Rozier has been doing it all for the Hornets, averaging 22.0 points, 5.4 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 3.9 three-pointers per game during the month of January. He is averaging OVER pretty much every prop PrizePicks is offering on him today with his points prop at 19.5, assist prop at 4.5 and rebound prop at 4.0. So what does this mean? It means we are going to attack his PRA prop today which sits at 28.5. Rozier has hit the over on this mark in seven straight games and now has a very nice matchup against the Atlanta Hawks who rank 28th in team defensive rating.
Jusuf Nurkic OVER 11.0 Rebounds
I really love this matchup for Nurkic as the Raptors play a smaller lineup with Pascal Siakam at center when their starting five is all active and that should be the case here today with Gary Trent returning the other night for Toronto. Nurkic has a massive size advantage over Siakam and is far too physical for Chris Boucher when it comes to the glass. Nurkic has hit the over on 11.0 rebounds in four straight and eight of the last 10 games. He even pulled down 14 rebounds in just 18 minutes against the Raptors in a meeting earlier this season.
Joel Embiid OVER 15.5 1st Half Points
Another slate with Joel Embiid so of course we are going to look at his 1st half point total. This play has hit in eight of the last 10 games. Now, the 15.5 points is higher than the past few slates but this is still a matchup that Embiid can exploit. The Spurs are allowing the 8th most points to the center position this season and has a team they rank 20th in defensive rating. Over the last month Embiid is averaging 1.06 points per minute and during that stretch he is averaging nearly 17 first half minutes per game so you do the math.
Nikola Vucevic OVER 18.5 Points
Who doesn't love a good revenge game narrative? The Bulls are a bit shorthanded right now with both Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball out of the lineup due to injuries. Vucevic has hit the over on the 18.5 points in four of the last five and five of the last seven games. The Magic rank 26 in team defensive rating and have struggled defensively against opposing centers. We are looking at a 216 game total here with the Bulls just a 3-point favorite here as well so Vegas is expecting this one to be a close and relatively high scoring game.
