Pick #6: Mikal Bridges over 23.5 Points (-121)

With Brooklyn's Mikal Bridges on a hot streak in his last five games, betting the over on his points line against Houston is a smart bet.

Bridges has been a great addition for the Nets since joining the team in the Kevin Durant trade. In his nine games with Brooklyn, he's averaged 26.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and a 60.9 effective field goal percentage. He's had four 30-plus point performances as well. 

In his last 20 games, he's dropped an average of 24.5 points and had more than 23.5 points in 11 of them. His last 10 games have seen him average 25.6 points, posting 23.5 points or more in 5 of them. In his last 5 games, he's averaged an impressive 29.4 points and had more than 23.5 points in 4 games.

Houston should be a favorable matchup for Bridges. The Rockets have allowed the third most points per game to Shooting Guards in the last 15 games. 

I love this spot based on the matchup and the hit rate. This line will move at least one, and I imagine two so... Lock it in!
