Best NBA Prop Bets Today
- Josh Hart OVER 12.5 Points (-115)
- Saddiq Bey OVER 23.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-120)
- Jonas Valanciunas OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-145)
- Brandon Ingram OVER 24.5 Points (-105)
- Cade Cunningham OVER 17.5 Points (-125)
Josh Hart OVER 12.5 Points (-115)
In the last five games, Hart is averaging nearly 37 minutes per game. He is going to be on the floor for the Pelicans. He’s cleared this line in two of the last five games and has been within one basket of clearing it in the other three. Hart will be going up against the Portland Trail Blazers tonight, who have one of the worst defenses in the entire league. With the defensive focus on Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas, Hart should be able to find a role on offense.
In this five game span, Hart is shooting 58.5% from the field. The one thing that needs to come up is his 3-point shooting (30%). If he can find the range, 12.5 points shouldn’t be an issue. – Donnavan Smoot
Saddiq Bey OVER 23.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-120)
Saddiq Bey has seen his role increase in a huge way with Jerami Grant out of the lineup, as he’s played over 36 minutes in each of the last three games.
Bey has responded in a big way, taking 17, 16 and 13 shots in his last three games and scoring 28, 23 and 26 points in those matchups. On the season, he’s averaging just 13.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, but his role has clearly changed with Grant out.
Bey has cleared this number easily in three straight, totaling at least two assists and four rebounds in each game. As long as the usage offensively is there, he could pass this number on points alone against a Knicks team that is down several players and just 23rd in the NBA in defensive rating. – Peter Dewey
Jonas Valanciunas OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-145)
Valanciunas and the Pelicans enter tonight's matchup vs. the Blazers as a rare favorite tonight. Not bad considering New Orleans is dead last in the West at 10-21, but they've actually played more inspired ball over their last 12 games going 7-5 in that stretch.
Valanciunas has been a major cog to their recent success, averaging 18.7 points and 10.9 boards during their improved play. They now face a Blazers team that's only won twice away from home and ranks 27th out of 30 teams in defensive rating.
Look for Valanciunas to have his way with the Blazers inside, and also cruise his way 10 rebounds. – Ben Heisler
Brandon Ingram OVER 24.5 Points (-105)
Brandon Ingram has been hot as of late, and I'm going to continue to ride the wave tonight when he and the Pelicans take on the Trail Blazers. Ingram has hit over 24.5 points in three of his last four starts, and six of his last nine. This stretch includes a 40-point night against the Rockets, and a 34-point night against the Thunder.
Now he faces a Portland team that ranks 29th in opponent effective field goal percentage. In what should be a close game, I expect Ingram to bring his best tonight. It also helps that he's averaging 4.3 more points per game at home this season compared to on the road. – Iain MacMillan
Cade Cunningham OVER 17.5 Points (-125)
It's all starting to come together for Cunningham, who was averaging 22 points per game over an eight game sample before a four-point dud against the Miami Heat on Sunday. However, I'm going to take the prior eight as a sign of good things to come for the No. 1 pick.
He'll be facing a Knicks defense that is 23rd in defensive rating this season, so we could see some points and I believe this prop is shaded towards his early season struggles and not the recent hot streak. – Reed Wallach
