There are some really good Sunday bets out there and let's start by going to the 76ers in Orlando Magic and let's look at James Harden.

The game environment is not looking that good as the 76ers are normally a slow pace team, but so are the Orlando Magic.

Now that being said, the 76ers still have a 118 team implied total, which is the third highest on the slate. But we have to be careful here because they are 12.5 point favorite, which is always,

you know, you get a little bit of a blowout situation, which can hurt the minutes of the

starters and potentially hurts our wallets.

The Orlando Magic Defense has not been good on the overall season, ranking 21st in

defensive efficiency, but over the last two weeks, they're a top three unit.

And they've always been stout dating back to when they had Nikola Vucevich with being a top 10 rim protection team and their league average at defending the three ball. I mentioned those areas specifically because that's James Hardin's game, either getting to the basket or attempting the three ball, which he's doing at nearly a career high right now. So there's a couple of different stories we can tell ourselves with James Hardin. We can look at what he's done at Philadelphia over a small six-game sample,

and we can say this is one of the best, if not the best player in the NBA. A 49% assist percentage,

16% defensive remodding rate, and shooting 44% from three-point range, which over that six-game

stretch is a career high. So anytime I mention career high, you can expect something to regress back to the mean

and not be sustainable.

Because in 44 games with the Nets this year, he was only shooting 34% from 3-point range.

He only had a 40% assist percentage, much lower than what he's currently producing.

So when we average them together, on the season this year, over over 48 minutes he has produced the following

29 points 13 assists and 10 rebounds absolutely fantastic numbers now let's scale that back to

what he would likely play tonight around 36 minutes he would average 22 points nine

assists and seven rebounds on average so that is a total of 38 points rebounds and assists which

is under the 40 and a half prop that is set.

And this is important. Listen up. Open them of your balls up for a second here because if there

is a blowout, they are 12.5 point favorites to 76ers. If there is a blowout, he sees less than 36

minutes, let's say 32 minutes, and this total rebounds and assist number goes even lower.
