Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Bulls vs. Nets (Always Trust Kevin Durant as a Scorer)
The Brooklyn Nets and the Chicago Bulls face off tonight in Brooklyn, with both teams looking to turn their records around.
Chicago has a few players on the injury report, but are still expected to be firmly in the game against the 2-5 Brooklyn Nets. For tonight’s matchup, we’re looking at three of the bigger stars in this game – backing two and fading one.
Let’s jump right into them.
Best Prop Bets For Bulls-Nets
- Kevin Durant OVER 30.5 Points
- Ben Simmons UNDER 7.5 Points
- DeMar DeRozan OVER 25.5 Points
Kevin Durant OVER 30.5 Points
Durant has hit this mark in five of the Nets’ seven games this season. He’s obviously one of the most gifted scorers we’ve ever seen, but the Nets also need Durant to score out of necessity.
With a terrible defense ranked second-to-last in defensive rating, every Nets game has the potential to be a track meet. If Durant isn’t scoring 30, I don’t see a way where Brooklyn can keep up.
Ben Simmons UNDER 7.5 Points
Simmons looks lost on the basketball floor right now. He’s cleared this line once this season and continues to shoot poorly around the rim. He’s either going to keep missing or just stop looking at the basket all together.
Until Simmons shows me a little more on the offensive end, I’ll fade him.
DeMar DeRozan OVER 25.5 Points
I feel that a majority of the props in this game are straightforward. The Nets have the second-worst defense in the NBA. They give everyone an opportunity to have their best game of the season, and that’s exactly what DeRozan has the potential to do tonight.
DeRozan has missed this line in four of his last five games, but that’s because of a lack of attempts. With the amount of possessions Chicago will have tonight, he should clear this line easily.
