The BetSided team is all in on player props for this NBA season, sharing our favorite and best prop bet picks each day during the year. 

Best NBA Prop Bets Record to Date

  • NBA Best Prop Bets Record: 140-116-4

After a 3-0 performance yesterday, here are the plays our team is eyeing for tonight’s slate with all odds via WynnBET:

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Jimmy Butler OVER 6 Rebounds (-115)
  • Bam Adebayo OVER 8.5 Rebounds (-115)
  • DeMar Derozan UNDER 26.5 Points (-115)
  • Dejounte Murray OVER 20.5 Points (+100)

Jimmy Butler OVER 6 Rebounds (-115)

WynnBET has gifted us a nice opportunity to grab a great line with Jimmy Butler's rebounding prop number only at "6," while the consensus number has gone all the way up to 6.5.

The Blazers are a bottom seven rebounding team with all sorts of scoring issues away from home. Missed shots lead to more opportunities to clean up the glass, and Butler is averaging 6.1 boards since coming back from a tailbone injury with more minutes and more opportunities to go. -- Ben Heisler

Bam Adebayo OVER 8.5 Rebounds (-115)

Bam Adebayo didn’t have a great shooting day in his return, but he was dominant on the boards. He recorded 10 rebounds against the Toronto Raptors and took his top spot in the Heat’s rebounding hierarchy. 

The Heat have the fourth-highest rebounding percentage in the league, as opposed to the Blazers’ 16th-best rate. If the Heat’s defense holds up tonight, there will be a lot of missed shots for Adebayo to rebound. – Donnavan Smoot

DeMar Derozan UNDER 26.5 Points (-115)

DeMar Derozan is averaging 25.6 points per game and only 24.1 points per game at home this season. How he and the Bulls will host the Cavaliers tonight, who boast one of the top defenses in the NBA. The Cavs rank fifth in opponent effective field goal percentage, and third in defensive efficiency.

Derozan has also been in a mini-slump as of late. He hasn't surpassed 26.5 points in seven-straight games. I love DeMar as much as the next guy, but tonight's a solid time to fade his point total. – Iain MacMillan

Dejounte Murray OVER 20.5 Points (+100)

I think we’re getting some value on Dejounte Murray here, as he’s scored just 18 points in each of his last two games.

However, prior to that, Murray had scored 22 or more points in five of six games, and the fact that he’s +100 in this prop is just too good to pass up. The Spurs guard is still taking 20.9 shots per game since coming off the COVID-19 list.

I also don’t hate taking Murray to lead this game in scoring, as it’s essentially a matchup between him and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Remember, the Spurs have hit the over in 15 of 21 home games this season, so Murray should have plenty of chances to score tonight. – Peter Dewey
