Best NBA prop bets today (Fade Harrison Barnes, back Kyrie Irving)
By Peter Dewey
Sometimes there aren’t a ton of spreads in the NBA where you feel like you can take advantage, and Monday’s slate happens to be one of those days for me.
That’s the beauty of the prop market.
I have three plays on Monday across three different games where we can get some value on players to win some NBA bets.
Let’s dive in:
Best NBA prop bets record to date
Best NBA prop bets today
- Jalen Duren OVER 9.5 Rebounds
- Harrison Barnes UNDER 4.5 Rebounds
- Kyrie Irving OVER 30.5 Points
Jalen Duren OVER 9.5 Rebounds
Jalen Duren is really putting together a solid rookie season for the Detroit Pistons, especially since he entered the starting lineup.
Duren is averaging 10.6 rebounds per game since becoming a starter, and he’s cleared 9.5 boards in 13 of his last 20 games.
Now, he gets an easy spot against the Dallas Mavericks, who rank dead last in the NBA in rebounding percentage and are down big man Christian Wood. I love the OVER for Duren in this prop.
Harrison Barnes UNDER 4.5 Rebounds
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes is struggling on the glass over his last 10 games, and I expect that to continue against the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight.
Over that 10-game stretch, Barnes is averaging just 3.2 rebounds per game despite playing over 35 minutes a night. He’s averaging less than five rebounds per game on the season, clearing this line in just half of his games.
Fade him again tonight.
Kyrie Irving OVER 30.5 Points
It’s hard to find a player in the NBA hotter than Kyrie Irving is right now.
With Kevin Durant out of the lineup, Irving has put the Brooklyn Nets on his back, scoring 30 or more points in six straight games.
Now, he faces a Los Angeles Lakers team that is down LeBron James and Anthony Davis on Monday. Irving should get plenty of shots up against the Lakers since L.A. plays at the No. 2 pace in the NBA.
Until his usage drops (27-plus shots in four of his last six games), Kyrie is a great bet to go OVER this number.
