Expert picks & predictions for Tuesday’s Suns vs. Hornets game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is diving into the player prop market in this game: Parlay: Mark Williams 10+ points & 8+ rebounds (-123)
“Williams point total over is perfectly fine. However, he’s hit this number with very few misses on both. He attacks the glass and has a great matchup against the Suns who allow the 10th most points to his position.”
