Entree (1u) - Mikal Bridges (BKN) OVER 25.5 Points (-120 MGM)

Mikal Bridges had a span of games with the Phoenix Suns where he scored 20 or more points when Devin Booker was out with injury. Since being traded to the Nets, he's played in 14 games and he's averaging 26.3 points per game on 34.6 minutes with 17.6 field goal attempts per game. He has practically made it known that this Nets team is HIS team. He leads the team in usage rate over the last 7 games by at least 3%. He's also leading the team in field goal attempt percentage, field goal make percentage, and points percentage, He's also leading the Nets in free throw make and attempt percentage. Over the 14 games, he's averaging 5.7 made free throws on 6.4 attempts. Not only that, he's leading the Nets in 3pt make percentage over their last 7 games too. Bridges is doing it ALL for the Brooklyn Nets.

He's got a very great matchup tonight to continue this scoring streak. The Kings are a tough team in the West and the spread is -2.5 in favor of the Nets. The game has a high over/under at 238, which is respectable considering these two teams are top 10 in pace over their last 7 games. Kings have the second best offensive rating but the 4th worst defensive rating over their last 7 games. While the Nets have the leagues best defensive rating over their last 7 games. Kings are 28th in points allowed and 29th in field goal percentage allowed. They are 19th in threes allowed and 25th in three point percentage. 

Bridges has hit this in 5 of his last 7 games and in his last 3 homes games. Kings are allowing the 3rd most points to opposing teams primary scorer and allow opposing shooting guards to score 5.21 more points than their average. They are 4th in points allowed to shooting guards and 5th in threes allowed to shooting guards. With Bridges averaging 26 points since becoming a Net and the pace of this game, I've got Bridges projected at 31.53 points tonight.

Let me know what you think!
