Double-Double Prediction: James Harden

Best Odds: +210 at BetMGM

James Harden fell just short of a double-double last time out against the Dallas Mavericks with seven assists, but given the strength of this matchup and Harden's much cooler shooting night I expect the veteran to facilitate plenty in this one.

• The Mavericks are allowing the 10th-most assists per 100 possessions to their opponents, and this month that issue has only grown more grave as they sit 29th in the NBA.

To make matters worse, Dallas will once again be without the services of Luka Doncic here, who we know not only adds to this team's look defensively but tends to limit drives and passes to the rim with a great deal of shots coming within 10 feet when he's been off the floor.

That should crack the door wide open for Harden to rack up assists on the pick-and-roll, looking to exploit a Dallas defense which has fallen quite a bit this month with just the 17th-ranked defense in the short mid-range where Ivica Zubac takes the vast majority of his shots.

The Mavericks' 3-point defense has also been the third-worst in the league in December, leaving one of L.A.'s favorite shooting zones wide open as Harden finds his men for buckets all over the floor.

Double-Double Prediction: Walker Kessler

Best Odds: +160 at DraftKings

Walker Kessler enters Saturday with just 10 double-doubles, but you feel as though he could easily have more given he's averaged more than 10 points and 10 rebounds per game this season.

• Kessler was four points shy of a double-double last time out against Detroit, but what I am more focused on was the fact that he saw the floor for 35 minutes -- something that's happened only three times all year.

Utah is still without Taylor Hendricks in the frontcourt, and with Keyonte George on the injury report its rotation could be even shorter, so Kessler -- averaging 32 minutes in his last seven games -- should get plenty of run here.

As long as that's the case, I see no issue with taking him to notch his 11th double-double here. The Nets have improved only marginally in the frontcourt this month, still sitting dead last in rebounding rate and down near the bottom in rim defense with 67.5% of their opponents' looks falling.

Double-Double Prediction: Josh Hart

Best Odds: +220 at FanDuel

Finally, we'll dig into a revenge spot here with a man who was a double-double machine a season ago, Josh Hart.

The do-it-all Knicks wing missed Thursday's tilt in Minnesota due to personal reasons, and perhaps the rest will do him a favor here after failing to notch a double-double in four straight games.

• Hart still has nine double-doubles on the year, and with the Pelicans allowing plenty of offense this month I think the veteran should spurn his former team on Saturday.

New Orleans has the third-worst defense this season -- something that hasn't changed in the month of December -- but one thing that has been noticeable is that it's ranked dead last in rebounding which is six spots from its season average.

Hart's been incredibly effective on the glass in his career, so you'd think that this is where we get the double-double, though he's still racked up plenty of assists and will draw the team allowing the very most assists per 100 possessions in the NBA this year.
