NBA Friday Quick Hitters
🔹 Sharp Money Alert: Memphis opened as 10.5-point favorites against Dallas, and has inexplicably closed to -9. Everyone’s seen the clips of how short the Mavs’ bench is, and it’s hard to see things improving any time soon for Jason Kidd’s squad. We’ll keep fading Dallas here.

🔹 Odds Boost to Grab: Sleeper Picks is currently offering a 100% deposit match up to $1,500, compared to a 50% deposit match from Underdog. If you need a new book, Sleeper is worth a gander.
🔹 Trap Game Warning: The Thunder make their appearance in the trap section as 1-point favorites against the Trail Blazers. OKC will probably sit every single starter and a handful of important backups, but they’re still taking 86% of the money. If Chet Holmgren plays just fade this altogether, but if he sits, fade the public and ride with Portland.


NBA Player Prop Parlay
The last player prop parlay went exceedingly well, so we’ve got some wind in our sails heading into an excellent night of NBA action. Time to take another shot at a clean sweep.
Immanuel Quickley Over 20.5 Points (-130)

Quickley has been on an upward trend across the board lately, increasing his minutes, shooting percentage, and 3-point percentage over his last ten games. He’s playing a weak Jazz defense that allows a ton of points to point guards, and both teams are bad enough that it should be a relatively close game that Quickley sees minutes in.
Jaden McDaniels Over 12.5 Points (-130)

This is a bit of a ridiculous line. McDaniels has been red-hot recently, and the return of Julius Randle doesn’t seem to have impacted him one bit. Randle will likely draw the nightmarish Bam Adebayo matchup, freeing McDaniels to continue scoring at a high clip as he has been lately.
Chris Paul Over 1.5 3-Pointers Made (-146)
Paul has the perfect combination of being on a hot streak, a plus matchup, and scoring touches. The Kings, as we’ve mentioned before, allow opponents to shoot 37% from deep. Paul has shot 39% from three in his last ten games, and he should find enough room to knock in a couple here.
Parlay Bet: 3-Leg Spread on FanDuel
Leg 1: Immanuel Quickley Over 20.5 Points – (-550)
Leg 2: Jaden McDaniels Over 12.5 Points – (-130)
Leg 3: Chris Paul Over 1.5 3-Pointers Made – (-146)

NFL Trades and Major Cuts
Free agency hasn’t even opened yet, but we’ve had a couple of notable moves already. Here’s a rundown of the action so far.
Significant re-signings

DE Maxx Crosby: The Raiders made a good move (for once), retaining their defensive leader with a 3-year, $106 million extension. Crosby is now the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.
LT Alaric Jackson: Jackson, a steady blindside protector, was expected to have a solid market should the Rams choose to let him walk. Instead, general manager Les Snead re-upped him to the tune of 3 years and 57 million dollars.
LB Zack Baun: The Eagles made it a point to hold on to Baun after his career season as the leader of Philly’s defense. Baun, once a bit of a free agent afterthought, earned every bit of the three-year, $51 million contract during the Eagles Super Bowl run.
RB Saquon Barkley: Hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Philly retained another key piece, this time on offense, by handing Barkley 41 million dollars over two extra years. It’s clear that general manager Howie Roseman is prioritizing keeping his Super Bowl squad together.

Significant Cuts
DE Joey Bosa: After nine years with the Chargers, Bosa will be on the free agent market for the first time. The aging edge rusher should hold some appeal for contending teams looking for help on the edge like the Bengals.

CB Darius Slay: Well, Roseman couldn’t possibly retain everyone. Slay saved the Eagles some cap space and should have no trouble finding a job next season. He’s already expressed interest in the Lions, a seemingly ideal landing spot.
QB Aaron Rodgers: Thank goodness that Rodgers-Jets saga is over. The whole thing felt like watching a friend fight with an on-and-off girlfriend at a party where everyone else is having fun. Jokes aside, Rodgers will have plenty of suitors, given his MVP background and his still-insane name value.
WR Davante Adams: The Jets also jettisoned Rodgers’ favorite running mate this offseason. Adams has significantly more left in the tank than his signal-calling buddy, and should see a handsome contract come his way from a team like the Chargers.
The Bears Get Busy
Chicago has already made two moves in an effort to help out their young quarterback. First, they went out and traded for guard Jonah Jackson, dishing a sixth-rounder for a guard who played at a high level only a couple of years ago.

General manager Ryan Poles followed that move up with the acquisition of Joe Thuney, one of the NFL’s premier guards. The Chiefs, Thuney’s old squad, are in desperate need of cap space, a factor that made them willing to accept a fourth-rounder for a consistently excellent offensive lineman. It’s good to see the Bears getting after improvements for what could be a dark horse playoff team.
