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 3 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 NBA Bets For Wednesday, March 1
Zach LaVine over 24.5 points
This line may move before tipoff. The Pistons allow the 4th most points to shooting guards, and Lavine has already blown by this number in his 2 previous matchups against Detroit with 30 and 43 point performances. LaVine has cleared this number in 4 of his last 6 games. Lock in the over at this number before it changes.
RJ Barrett over 6.5 rebounds + assists
It’s an enticing matchup all around tonight for Barrett. The Nets have been a team to pick on when betting on small forwards, as they allow the 3rd most rebounds and 5th most assists to the position. Barrett has hit this number in 3 of his last 4 games and with such an appealing matchup tonight, he should have no problem clearing the over.
Jimmy Butler over 5.5 assists
This number is just too low for Butler, who has had at least 6 assists in 5 of his last 6 games. Philadelphia allows the 3rd most assists to small forwards, making them an advantageous matchup for Jimmy Buckets. Butler had 9 assists the last time these teams matched up, and I expect him to easily surpass his line of 5.5 tonight.
The Best Of The Rest:
Al Horford over 13.5 points + rebounds
Terry Rozier under 5.5 assists
Bam Adebayo under 8.5 rebounds
Jerami Grant over 18.5 points
Damian Lillard under 7.5 assists
Tobias Harris over 4.5 rebounds
