The weekend is here, so it’s time to place some bets.

There are nine NBA games to bet on tonight, and if you’re looking for some spread bets, check out my best NBA bets article here.

If you’re more of a props bettor, or if you just want to supplement your spread bets with a few player props, you’ve come to the right place.

I have three prop bets for tonight’s action. Let’s dive into them.

Best NBA player props today

  • Kyle Kuzma OVER 7.5 rebounds
  • Jalen Williams OVER 1.5 steals
  • Paul George UNDER 21.5 points

Kyle Kuzma OVER 7.5 rebounds

The Brooklyn Nets have been a complete disaster in the rebounding department since losing Kevin Durant. In fact, they’re dead last in the NBA in rebounding percentage, grabbing only 47.1% of rebounds.

They’ve been even worse lately, grabbing only 42.5% of rebounds over their last three games.

Kyle Kuzma is averaging 7.7 rebounds per game this season.

Jalen Williams OVER 1.5 steals

Jalen Williams OVER 1.5 steals is available at +140 at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Houston Rockets give up a ton of turnovers. Teams are averaging nine steals per game against them this season, the worst mark in the NBA.

Meanwhile, Jalen Williams of the Thunder has been averaging 1.1 steals per game, and he has recorded multiple steals in two of his last four games, including the Thunder’s game against the Rockets on Wednesday where he recorded two.

Paul George UNDER 21.5 points

Paul George is shooting 2.5% from the field better than his career average this season. That means I expect at least a little bit of regression in the second half of the season and we might have seen some of that regression in his last game on Thursday when he shot only 37.5% from the field which resulted in just 16 points.

Now, he and the Clippers hit the road to take on a Knicks team that has the third best shooting defense in the NBA, allowing teams to shoot just 45.4% from the field against them.

I’ll back PG to go UNDER his point total tonight.
