Best NBA Prop Bets Record to Date

Here are the plays our team is eyeing for tonight’s slate with all odds via WynnBET:

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Cole Anthony OVER 24.5 points (-120)
  • Kyrie Irving OVER 22.5 Points (-110)
  • Desmond Bane OVER 18.5 Points (-110)

Cole Anthony OVER 24.5 points (-120)

Cole Anthony hasn't hit 20 points in a game since Jan. 5 against the Suns, but I think that changes tonight when the Orlando Magic host the Portland Trail Blazers. 

Anthony gets the opportunity to face the worst shooting defense in the entire NBA. The Trail Blazers rank dead last in opponent shooting percentage, allowing teams to shoot 47.9% from the field. That mark gets even worse when they play on the road, where they allow opponents to hit their shots at an eye-popping 50% clip. 

Anthony is primed for a big time bounce-back game tonight. – Iain MacMillan

Kyrie Irving OVER 22.5 Points (-110)

The Brooklyn Nets will be without Kevin Durant for four-to-six weeks, and I think that means we’re going to see the Kyrie Irving breakout begin on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

Irving is averaging just 17.7 points per game through his first three games this season, but he scored 22 in each of his first two outings with Durant in the lineup. 

James Harden has been the primary facilitator when these two play together, so I think Irving takes more of Durant’s scoring load in this game, especially since he’s only playing on the road. Don’t be surprised if Kyrie torches his former team and shows that he still is an All-Star caliber player when on the floor. – Peter Dewey

Desmond Bane OVER 18.5 Points (-110)

Want to know who has a bottom five defense since the beginning of January? The Chicago Bulls. Yup, there is some serious regression coming the Bulls way and I'm going to exploit their leaky defense by keying in on one of the most consistent scorers in the league this season in Desmond Bane.

Bane can score from anywhere nowadays and is playing great ball this month, averaging 19 points per game on a healthy 47/45/80 shooting line. This game should feature a ton of possessions, and I like Bane to push the 20-point threshold again. – Reed Wallach
