He&#8217;s coming off an impressive 7-for-11 three-point performance in an upset win over the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When at his best, he&#8217;s one of the top volume shooters in the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LaVine is averaging 3.1 three-point makes on 7.1 attempts per game this season (43.9%). That percentage ranks second in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s hit four or more 3s in three of the past four games. LaVine always takes his fair share of shots, and he&#8217;s currently on a heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This game has a high projected <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTcxMDUzJnA9MjM3MDk%3D\">point total (230.5)<\/a>, equalling more potential shots for the Kings&#8217; sharpshooting guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: LaVine played against the Detroit Pistons once this season when he was still a member of the Chicago Bulls. He dropped 25 points on 7-of-14 from 3-point range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best NBA picks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTcxMDUzJnA9MjM3MDk%3D\">Grimes over 22.5 points (-120):<\/a><\/strong> Grimes is far and away the best player on the injury-riddled 76ers right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Since the start of March, Grimes has been averaging 26.5 points on 50.0% from the field (40.6% from 3).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He&#8217;s 13-4 against this number during that time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Grimes has attempted 14-plus shots in 12 straight games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He fell short on this mark on March 29 vs. Miami, finishing with 15 points on a below-average shooting performance (6-for-14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe Grimes can reach this total this time around with a few more attempts and better efficiency. Enough volume should be available for a Sixers team that lacks offensive options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 1:40 p.m. ET on 04\/07\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"thestar\">Looking to get started? <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNzQxMyZsPTEzNTI3NDExJnA9MjMyNDM%3D\">Sign up here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are only two games on tap in the NBA on Monday, but I&#8217;ve got a pick for both of them.
