The Kings allow the most rebounds per game to centres (19.33), per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holmgren has such a high offensive floor right now that if he can grab double-digit rebounds for the fourth straight game, I&#8217;m confident he&#8217;ll smash this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Bet on Chet Holmgren to have another big game on Tuesday<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 23-year-old big is shooting 56.9% from the field (41.7% from 3) and canning more than 85% of his free throws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With those splits, he doesn&#8217;t need a ton of shooting volume to help cash this pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s almost always blowout potential when OKC plays, but it&#8217;s smart to look past that and play the good numbers when available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Holmgren had 18 points and 10 rebounds in his one meeting with Sacramento last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Powell over 22.5 points <\/strong>(-118)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>: This pick is based on Powell&#8217;s consistency and the matchup at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The former Toronto Raptor is 2-1 against this line, averaging 24.0 PPG.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the one game he fell short, he only played 24 minutes and took 10 shots in a blowout win.

In its loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, the defence gave up 125 points and allowed the Sixers to shoot 46% from deep. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Philly is the most comparable opponent to the Heat, and Powell is the lead candidate to take advantage of the Hornets&#8217; poor perimeter defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He scored 28+ points in both games in which he played more than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Back Powell vs. Charlotte at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Rollins over 1.5 threes made <\/strong><\/strong>(-130)<\/strong>: Rollins made a name for himself as a 3-point assassin for the Milwaukee Bucks last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He took 2.1 threes per game and shot 40.8% from beyond the arc.
