Expert picks and predictions for Suns vs. Tuesday’s Hornets

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is diving into the player accessory market in this game: Parlay: Mark Williams 10+ points and 8+ rebounds (-123)
“Williams’ point total is perfectly fine. However, he has reached that number with very few misses in both. He attacks the glass and has a great matchup against the Suns who allow the 10th most points at his position.”
