Pick 7: Fred VanVleet over 20.5 points (-118)

Fred VanVleet has been an impressive scorer this season, averaging 19.2 points per game. Over the last 8 games, VanVleet is averaging 25.62 points and looks to be a reliable source of production for the Raptors. VanVleet has been particularly impressive against the Utah Jazz. In his last 3 games against them, he scored 30, 24, and most recently 37 points in a dominant performance. Utah allows the 4th most points to opposing point guards. In recent games they allowed Kyrie Irving to go 8-15 from three putting up 48 points, Damian Lillard 9-15 from 3 with 60 points and in their last game Spencer Dinwiddie 6-11 from 3 scoring 35 points. 

VanVleet is a reliable scorer and has proven to be one of the most complete players in the league with his ability to score in multiple ways, create for his teammates, and make an impact at the defensive end. Given the matchup and history expect Fred VanVleet to surpass his line of 20.5 points against the Utah Jazz.
