Seven bets to close out the week on a Friday in the NBA, and we're starting with Zach Levine.

And more specifically, his points rebounds and assists number set at 32 and a half.

Now, Levine's game environment is as average as it gets, around 112 team total and league

average pace.

But the matchup is not average.

A matchup against Phoenix is not a good one as they rank second on the season and defensive

efficiency.

And they're basically average to above average at defending every single part of the shot chart, a three-pointers,

the rim, and the mid-range. Now, Levine is going to benefit from some injuries on his team today.

His production will go up because of Lonzo ball remaining out. And Lonzo being out a lot this year

has led to Levine having some really impressive numbers. So far in 2020,

he is sporting an elite 30% usage rate, a 21% assist percentage, which is the 95th percentile,

and a very strong for the position he plays 13% rebounding rate. Now, I will call out that Levine

shoots about 30% of his shots from mid-range. That's an above-average number and it's important to call out because

that's the worst spot that Phoenix is at defending. Levine is someone who plays big minutes,

36 plus and four of his last five and you can expect about 36 tonight. So looking at this prop number

of 32 and a half, which way do I lean on it? Well, let's look at him this year without Lonzo Ball. Without ball, Levine is averaging 34.5.6.9 assists and 6.7 rebounds per 48

minutes. That totals around 48 points rebounds and assists. And if we were to scale that down for the

matchup and also him playing 36 minutes tonight, it would look something like this. 25.8 points,

5.2 assists and 5.1 rebounds, which is higher than his 32.5 prop number, so we're taking

the over here. So let's go from one big city in Chicago to the next in Dallas. I'm looking

at Jalen Brunson's points, rebounds, and assists number here set at 22.5. Now, like Zach Levine,
