Jonathan Kuminga to win Most Improved Player (+5000), 1*
I think this number is wrong and we are getting good value here. That doesn’t mean Kuminga is going to win, he is 50/1. But he has the opportunity to really enhance his stock going into and coming out of the all-star break. Kuminga is now in the starting lineup, which will open up easier looks at the basket and increase his minutes. Maxey is the deserving favorite at this moment, but I think people’s opinions could change on him in the negative. I think Embiid is going to miss some time. The 76ers have been losing since this knee issue popped up. If Philly continues to struggle while Embiid is out with Maxey as the guy, that hurts him. Maybe voters will just attribute the losses to Embiid being out, but it certainly wouldn’t make Maxey look better. On the flip side, the Warriors are 20-24. If they go on a run with Draymond back and Kuminga in the starting lineup with increased stats, Kuminga will get some of that positive rub. Philly has lost four in a row and are five point dogs in Utah tonight with Maxey likely returning to the lineup. I feel like the odds on this bet along with the direction Philly is trending and the possibility of a Warriors run makes this a worthwhile bet.
With all that said, I’m probably going to wait and see if Maxey and Batum are playing and if they are, bet Philly. But that doesn’t factor into whether Kuminga should be 50/1.

Hornets +13.5 (-110), 1*
Nobody wants to bet Charlotte, so I will. Teams who play the Knicks have not been covering the spread in their next game due to the physical style that the Knicks play. This is an easy letdown spot for the Lakers. Charlotte has several important players out including Ball and Hayward. I will hold my nose and bet the Hornets.

Rockets +8 (-108), 1*
This is an ugly one similar to last night with Charlotte. No Van Vleet for Houston. I like betting against Indiana as big favorites. Their play style is absolutely conducive to a wide range of outcomes. My other bet tonight will be Brooklyn once I know if Luka is playing. Second straight road game for Dallas. Luka might be in a mask if he plays. I will go against the move in that game too.
