Best NBA Prop Bets Today

• Brandon Ingram UNDER 27.5 Points (-115)
• Keldon Johnson OVER 26.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-125)
• Jaren Jackson Jr. OVER 16.5 Points (-115)

Brandon Ingram UNDER 27.5 Points (-115)

Brandon Ingram has been fantastic as of late. He’s averaging 25.9 points per game while shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from 3 over his last 14 games. 

While Ingram has scored points at a high rate, hitting the over on this number in five of these games, I think the under is the play to make in this game.

The Thunder are 14th in the NBA in defensive rating, and while Ingram did hit the over on this against them on Dec. 15, he also took 15 free throws in the game. 

Ingram has scored 26 or 27 points in four games over his 14, so I love getting this at 27.5 for the under. 

Keldon Johnson OVER 26.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-125)

The San Antonio Spurs are going to be without star guard Dejounte Murray on Sunday against the Detroit Pistons, and that should open up a bigger role for Johnson in this matchup. 

Johnson is averaging 17.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game over his last seven matchups, and he’s shooting 54.3 percent from beyond the arc over that stretch. 

I think this game Johnson could really see an expanded role on offense, as he’s cleared 14 shots just once over the last seven games and only seven times all season. 

Even with Murray, Johnson has cleared this number in two of his last four games and has registered three straight contests with double-digits rebounds. 

Jaren Jackson Jr. OVER 16.5 Points (-115)

The Grizzlies are facing a Kings team that struggles on defense, and while I do like the under in this one, I also love the over on Jaren Jackson Jr.’s points prop. 

Jackson Jr. is averaging 16.5 points per game this season, but he put up 21 the last time these two teams faced off and has cleared this number in five of his last eight games.

Ja Morant’s return opens up things for Jackson Jr. on offense, and I think he will take advantage of a team that is dead least in the NBA in opponent points in the paint per game at 53.2.
