Miami Heat vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: Tyler Herro over 21.5 points + rebounds + assists -- Pick6, 3:30 PM CT
Herro has been sidelined since early December due to a nagging toe injury, but he'll be available for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves. He might face some restrictions in terms of playing time since he hasn't stepped on the floor in nearly a month, but even if that's the case, the star guard should get enough touches to leave his mark in what figures to be a tough matchup on paper. Herro has been limited to just six games this season but has cleared the 21.5 P+R+A mark each time. This line looks a bit low due to the potential restrictions, but it's low enough that we're confident in Herro hitting the over. He's averaging 23.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season.
San Antonio Spurs vs. Memphis Grizzlies: Victor Wembanyama over 22.5 points + assists -- Sleeper, 3:30 PM CT
Wembanyama (knee) participated in Tuesday's morning shootaround and will be a game-time decision for this contest, but all signs point to him being available and ready to return from a two-game absence. The star big man recorded over 22.5 P+A in his last three games before being sidelined, but it's not enough to look at his stats to draw conclusions since he's faced playing-time restrictions in recent weeks due to injuries. Even with those restrictions, Wembanyama has had at least 19 points + assists in 11 of his last 13 games, and has cleared this line eight times over that stretch. Look for the star big man to return with a bang against Memphis, paving the way for him to hit the over in this one, as the matchup is favorable for him.
Orlando Magic vs. Washington Wizards: Anthony Black under 30.5 points + rebounds + assists -- PrizePicks, 3:30 PM CT
Black turned heads of late, and he's making the most of the improved role he's had offensively due to the absences of Jalen Suggs (knee) and Franz Wagner (ankle). The numbers back that up, as Black has averaged 21.2 points, 5.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks over 34.1 minutes per game in 12 games since entering the starting lineup Dec. 9. However, he had failed to cross that 30.5 P+R+A threshold in two of his last three games, and he's coming off a 27-point, 10-assist, three-rebound performance in a win over the Pacers on Sunday. The Wizards present a tougher defensive matchup than the Pacers, as Washington has looked on the rise lately, posting four wins over its last six contests. Don't be surprised if Black has another subpar performance -- or at least one where he doesn't match what has been the best stretch of his career.
