Expert picks & predictions for Monday’s Wizards vs. Thunder game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) loves OKC’s defense: Alexandre Sarr Under 13.5 Points + Assists (-120)
“Sarr is on a nice scoring stretch of 10 or more points in six straight and nine of the past 10, but that will likely come to an end versus Oklahoma City. The Thunder have the second-ranked defensive net rating in December and will challenge Sarr from three (31.2% allowed in Dec.) after he’s made 42.9% of his triples this month. Sarr averages 4.0 potential assists per game in December, so he’s not much of a threat to set up his teammates either. I like his Under 13.5 P+A and his Under 20.5 PRA as a pivot.”
