Devin Booker OVER 25.5 Points
Devin Booker has been on fire recently, as he’s averaging 29.4 points per game including over 42 percent shooting from three on nearly eight attempts per game.
He’s been getting to his spots as a pull-up shooter the best way Booker knows how, as he has a tendency to go in off the pick-and-roll or back down smaller defenders for easy looks.
Time ticking down?

Booker should continue to find his spots in the mid-range as he has recently. He’ll also take advantage of the smaller defenders the Clippers will likely throw towards him as well. Guys like Eric Bledsoe, Reggie Jackson, and Terance Mann may continue to take turns guarding him throughout the course of the game.
Expect him to hit the over in this one.
Brandon Ingram UNDER 22.5 Points
Brandon Ingram has been struggling with his shot recently, as he’s averaging 13.0 points on 22.2 percent shooting over his last two games after being held out of action for a week due to soreness in his left Achilles.
The Achilles is an important part of a basketball player’s body, as it serves as a huge part of how they get their lift on jump shots or going up for layups or dunks.
Luckily for Ingram, his Achilles isn’t torn, as he should be able to find himself back in game shape soon. However, it’s far from a safe bet that that’ll happen in tonight’s game against the Golden State Warriors.
BetPrep has the line at 22.5 points with a -114 juice to the over.

Julius Randle OVER 21.5 Points
Julius Randle looked great in his return to the court on Tuesday, as he put up 30 points in a home victory against the Indiana Pacers.
Randle shot 12-of-20 from the field, with most of his damage coming from his patented pull-up jumpers.
Last season, Julius Randle shot
41.5% on mid-range jumpers
44.6% on shots between 8-to-16 feetOver is his first 35 games this season, Randle shot:
29.2% on mid-range attempts and
33.6% on FGA between 8-to-16 feetOn the importance of JR's midrange game:https://t.co/fNzfvtiiuJ

In going up against the Boston Celtics, Randle should continue to get his opportunities to shoot mid-range shots and attack the rim at will. Randle can certainly take advantage of the lack of size in the Celtics’ interior and do some serious damage.
A Boston vs. New York matchup in any sport will bring the best out of each and every player as well.
Expect Randle to hit the over in this one.
