We have an action packed Wednesday night full of great NBA matchups on tonight’s slate, As usual, I’ve looked over each and every prop available for tonight and found the very best value bets on the market. I’ve got Best Bets for you tonight, along with some others that caught my eye. As always I advise line shopping for the best number available whenever possible. Here’s what I’m rolling with tonight:
Best Bets
Devin Booker over 5.5 assists
Back to the well again. I’ve been picking on OKC against shooting guards all season long with success. The Thunder allow more assists to shooting guards than any other team in the league. Booker had 8 assists the last time these two teams played, and has cleared this number in each of his last 6 games. Lock this one in before the line moves.
Luka Doncic under 7.5 assists
The last time Luka played the Pelicans he only notched 4 assists and the addition of Kyrie Irving, was is able to create shots for himself, shouldn’t impact Luka’s assist numbers significantly. New Orleans has fared well defensively against point guards this season, allowing the 4th fewest assists to the position. Luka has been held under this number in 4 of his last 5 games and I expect that trend to continue tonight.
Trey Murphy under 12.5 points
Murphy has been held under this line in 5 of his last 7 games. The last time these two teams faced off, Murphy was held to single digit scoring. With Dallas allowing the 5th lowest points to opposing shooting guards and his Murphy’s recent lack of scoring output, this line is simply too high.
The Best Of The Rest:
Kevin Durant over 5.5 rebounds
Chris Paul over 1.5 3-pointers made
DeAndre Ayton over 17.5 points
Al Horford over 2.5 assists
Jarrett Allen under 9.5 rebounds
Jerami Grant over 4.5 rebounds
