Double-Double Prediction: Goga Bitadze

Best Odds: +100 at FanDuel

The only good to come out of Orlando's miserable luck with injuries has been the emergence of Goga Bitadze.

  • The bigman already has four years of experience under his belt, but at 25 it appears he's finally blossoming into a weapon in the frontcourt with career highs in minutes, field goal percentage, rebounds and points.

Bitadze has taken full advantage of injuries to Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, seeing almost 29 minutes per game since the start of December and delivering 12 points and 10 rebounds on average. Now with Mo Wagner also missing in action, his role on this team is unquestioned.

  • Bitadze has notched a double-double in seven of his last 10 games, and while he struggled to get much done in a tough matchup with the Pistons last time out he should have a much easier time against the Raptors.

Toronto is ranked just 28th on the glass over its last 10 games, and rebounding will only become more of a chore with RJ Barrett missing in action. It's also ranked near the top of the league in shooting frequency allowed at the rim this season, and in the last two weeks has allowed the fifth-highest rate of shots to fall.

This is as good a spot as any for Bitadze, so you'll want to take advantage of this number.

Double-Double Prediction: Isaiah Hartenstein

Best Odds: +105 at FanDuel

The matchup for Isaiah Hartenstein doesn't look as rosy, but that hasn't been much of an issue in the past for one of the premier bigmen in the league.

  • Hartenstein has endured some tough matchups of late, yet still owns an average of 12 points and 12 rebounds over his last 12 games with a double-double in 10 of his last 13.

Now, he'll step into a revenge spot against his former team -- and one which has generally exceled on the glass but could afford a masterful offensive rebounder some chances.

While New York is third in rebounding rate in the last two weeks, it's ranked eight spots lower on the offensive glass -- where Hartenstein owned a rebounding rate over 9% to put him right around the top 20 of all starters.

The Knicks have also struggled to defend the rim for chunks of this season, and the last two weeks have certainly been one of these stretches as they've ranked 16th in field goal defense according to Cleaning the Glass with the ninth-highest volume allowed.

Double-Double Prediction: Austin Reaves

Best Odds: +240 at Caesars

There's not much more to say at this point; Austin Reaves is the best point guard the Los Angeles Lakers have rostered all season long.

Following the trade of D'Angelo Russell, L.A. has bestowed the starting role at that position to Reaves and has watched the 26-year-old blossom into an excellent facilitator.

  • Reaves has now recorded a double-double in each one of the four games he's played since the trade, playing at least 36 minutes and averaging 38.4 in all.

Now, he'll look to power the offense yet again on the second night of a back-to-back against an Atlanta Hawks team which ranks just 18th on the defensive end over the last 10 games and has allowed the most assists per 100 possessions in the NBA over this span.

Reaves has seen increased minutes in the last two games he's played on the second night of a back-to-back, and as one of the youngest players on this team who's earned the trust of coach JJ Redick I wouldn't expect him to be rested much here particularly with the Lakers failing to put away some weak competition in the last couple of weeks.

As long as he's on the floor, he'll be racking up helpers as he facilitates this offense against a team allowing an incredible number of assisted baskets.
