There's a full slate of NBA games tonight and while the BetSided crew has you covered with their best bets of the night, here are three of my favorite props for the night.

Last Friday, I went 1-2. Let's see if we can get a perfect 3-0 tonight. Let’s break down the picks!

Best Prop Bets Today

  • Jarrett Allen OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-120)
  • Jaylen Brown OVER 24.5 Points (-115)
  • Gary Trent Jr. OVER 17.5 Points (-105)

Cavaliers vs. Hornets: Jarrett Allen OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-120)

Allen is one of the top rebounders in the entire league. He’s currently averaging the ninth-most rebounds per game, tied with Jusuf Nurkic. Allen has missed this line in three straight games, but I’m betting on positive regression. 

The Hornets have one of the weakest interiors in the league and Allen will feast on the boards. Charlotte is just outside the bottom third in the league in rebounds and is very susceptible to a big rebounding performance.

Celtics vs. Pistons: Jaylen Brown OVER 24.5 Points (-115)

This is a pure motivational play for me. Brown was left off the All-Star team, despite putting up very respectable numbers this year. Brown had cleared this line four games in a row before the last one. Against the lowly Pistons’ defense, I think tonight is the time for Brown to make a statement. 

He only scored 16 points against the Hornets in the Celtics’ win. I expect him to take a more “hands-on” approach to the game tonight and shine. 

Hawks vs. Raptors: Gary Trent Jr. OVER 17.5 Points (-105)

Trent Jr. came back down to earth last game, only scoring 16 points. He snapped a five-game streak of scoring at least 30 points. Trent missed this line by a single bucket and I’m backing him to clear this line tonight. The Raptors play their starters nearly the entire game and Trent will be out on the floor getting his shots up.

Trent Jr. shoots a high volume of threes, which raises his ceiling. He shot less than 40% from the field last game and took less than 10 threes. I expect both of those numbers to go up and for Trent Jr. to clear this easily.
