Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Rudy Gobert OVER 14.5 Rebounds (+106)
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 32.5 Points (-113)
  • Trae Young OVER 9.5 Assists (-108)
  • Bam Adebayo OVER 8.5 Rebounds (+105)

Rudy Gobert OVER 14.5 Rebounds (+106)

Gobert’s presence in Minnesota has completely changed the way they play defense, and Gobert’s rebounding numbers are a product of that. Gobert has cleared this line three times in four games, missing it in his last game against the Spurs. The good news is that Minnesota gets another crack at the Spurs tonight. I’ll back Gobert in a second effort against San Antonio, as every missed shot around the paint is directed towards Gobert. – Donnavan Smoot

Trae Young OVER 9.5 Assists (-108)

Young has two games of 13 assists and another with nine. He now faces a Pistons that has allowed the fourth most points per 100 possessions and the 9th highest assists per game through this young season. The ball funnels through the Hawks guard whether he is scoring or setting the table and I think a double double is in store on Wednesday night. – Reed Wallach

Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 32.5 Points (-113)

Giannis has a history of devouring the Nets like a Chick-fil-a meal, and this may be the worst Brooklyn defense he's ever had the pleasure of facing.

Brooklyn ranks dead-last in defensive rating by a wide margin and second-to-last in net rating. Simply put, this is a bad team right now (sorry Reed).

Giannis, meanwhile, averages 32.5 points games against the Nets. He cleared at least 33 points in four of his last five playoff games against the team, and he's been on a tear to start the season.

The former Finals MVP scored 44 points in just 28 minutes against Houston, while this seems to be the best version of Giannis yet.

I expect the Bucks to make a statement against Brooklyn, utilizing the Nets' horrific defense to dominate all night. That means a huge game from Giannis is in store, so I'm thrilled to back the over on his points prop. – Joe Summers

Bam Adebayo OVER 8.5 Rebounds (+105) 

The Miami Heat's early season struggles are two-fold. They need Bam Adebayo on the court to shore up their surprisingly bad defense, and they need him to start attacking more offensively.

Let's start with the team's defensive woes and how Adebayo's presence can positively effect them.

Via @HeatNationCom, teams have outscored the Heat by 30.2 points per 100 possessions when Adebayo is OFF the court. Portland's true shooting percentage is top 5 in the league, likely indicating more minutes for Bam tonight to help get some stops and second-chance opportunities.

The Blazers also let opposing centers have their way inside, which also offers Bam a chance at some second chance boards on the offensive end.

This appears to be a bounce back spot for Miami, so I'll roll with Bam to clean the glass in the process. – Ben Heisler
