And with those efficiencies, I feel really good about his potential as a scorer today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Vucevic has 20-plus points in four-straight against the Pistrons, averaging 25.5 points in those games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Irving over 26.5 points (-118)<\/strong>: Irving is another player who is listed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report\">injury report<\/a> ahead of Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if he suits up, I love this spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cleveland Cavaliers allow the most PPG to point guards (26.4) and Irving is an elite scorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s averaging 24.3 points on 47.9% shooting and 41.5% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since leaving the Cavs in 2017, Irving averaged 31.0 points in six games in Cleveland. He cleared this line in five of six of those games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been eight years but it appears the &#8216;revenge game&#8217; narrative is still in play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bane over 28.5 points\/assists (-107)<\/strong>: Take a look at Bane&#8217;s stats since Dec. 21:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>21.4 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6.5 assists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>53.4 FG%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>43.8 3PT%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And lately, he&#8217;s been stepping up as a passer while Ja Morant manages an injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In three games without Morant since Jan. 17, Bane recorded 34 assists (11.3 per game). He unsurprisingly cleared this line in all three contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morant is listed as doubtful to play on Sunday so that&#8217;s worth monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their opponent, the Milwaukee Bucks also allows the second most PPG to point guards (26.3) which is the role Bane would play in Morant&#8217;s absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>Picks made at 9:15 a.m. ET on 02\/02\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve got three NBA prop bets for Sunday&#8217;s action.
