Last Bet - February 26, 2024 (Alec Burks Over 9.5 points)

YTD Last Bet: 5-5, 50.0%, down 0.5961 units

Today's Last Bet: Alec Burks (Knicks) Over 9.5 points vs. Detroit (-104 on FanDuel)

3 most likely ways to cash this ticket: 

1. Increased minutes based on a non-competitive game; Knicks are -11.5. 

2. Coaching staff/players get Burks a few extra opportunities in his first game vs. his old team.

3. He shoots significantly better than his 38.7% YTD average. 

His days of averaging 17.4 PPG in January are long gone since moving from Detroit to New York. Burks has gone under this number in 3 of 4 shooting just 11 of 40 from the field or 27.5%. I would expect that number to be much better tonight against the Pistons who rank 25th in FG % allowed and 27th in points allowed per game. Let's cheer for points.
