Gary Trent Jr. To Score 30+ Points (+500)

Back to the well for this one. Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. is the hottest player in the NBA right now, and we made sure to capitalize on it last time he was on the court. The fourth-year player was +1000 to have his fourth-straight 30-point outing on Tuesday, and he indeed crossed the threshold in his fifth consecutive game with 20 or more field goal attempts. Trent is taking advantage of this uptick in volume, and the Raptors have shown that they are not getting in the way of this ridiculous stretch their budding star is on. Before this run, the guard had just two games with 20 or more field goal attempts, and now he is racking them up, making this number much easier to reach. There is still tons of value on him to do it for a sixth game in a row at +500, which makes him worth backing on Thursday night against the Chicago Bulls.

P.J. Tucker To Make 2+ Threes (+120)

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker has shown up from beyond the arc for the team over the past two months. After joining the Heat in the offseason, he seems to finally be developing a structured role in the team’s offense, which has come by way of perimeter efficiency. Tucker has knocked down at least two three-pointers 15 times in his past 20 games and currently leads the NBA in three-point percentage at 46.8 percent. Plus-money on something he has done 75 percent of the time since December 8 is something we simply can’t pass up in this spot. Take Tucker to hit two triples against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night.
