Understanding Public and Money
This is the new active number at FanDuel with Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray ruled out. Obviously no LeBron James for L.A. but this still feels a bit low to me -- think we are getting a moderate discount because the Nuggets somehow won Monday at Golden State down Jokic and Murray and others.
We’re getting a sizable discount on this combination line for Christian Braun. The third year guard has been playing heavy minutes for the Nuggets and is averaging 17/6/4 while logging 37 MPG since February 1st, a 20 game sample. I’ll happily take the discount on Brain and if he suits up will play a full allotment of minutes.
LeBron James remains out with a groin injury. The Nuggets give up the most assists in the NBA (29.2 per game). Over the past three games, they've yielded an average of 30. When James is out, Austin Reaves steps up his playmaking, even with Luka Doncic on the floor. The Lakers have played five games since James went down, and Reaves has dished out 38 assists (7.6 per game). Last Friday in Denver, Reaves had 13 assists in 39 minutes.
