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: 150-127-4 (+2.6865 units)

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

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 26.5 Points (-130)
  • Devin Booker OVER 26.5 Points +100
  • Zach LaVine OVER 24.5 Points (-125)

Knicks vs. Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 26.5 Points (-130)

Antetokounmpo has cleared this line in five of his last seven games and he missed it by 1 point in the two misses. The Bucks haven’t been as dominant as of late, but Antetokounmpo’s scoring has seen an uptick. The one thing that will stop Antetokounmpo is opportunity. If the Bucks are blowing the Knicks out, or getting ran off the court, than his points will suffer. The Knicks’ net rating in the last 10 games in -1.5. That’s close enough to zero for me to expect a full night of work from the Greek Freak and a big game in his final meeting with the Knicks. --Donnavan Smoot 

Trail Blazers vs. Rockets: Anfernee Simons OVER 19.5 Points (-115)

Simons has taken a leap over the past month, seeing his usage rate going up 4% since the calendar turned to January and has seen his numbers boost in the process. He is averaging 24 points this month as well on an efficient 47/43/92 shooting splits. He'll be going up against a Houston Rockets team that has the third worst defensive rating this month and is playing at the fastest pace in the league. I expect a ton of possessions and a lot of easy opportunities for Simons to fill up the stat sheet. Keep riding Simons to be the best player on the floor for the Trail Blazers. -- Reed Wallach

Bulls vs. Spurs: Zach LaVine OVER 24.5 PTS (-125)

The Bulls and Spurs have one of the highest totals on the board this evening at WynnBET as both teams will play with an accelerated pace. Meanwhile, DeMar DeRozan makes his anticipated return back to San Antonio for the first time in his career as a Bull.

While the narrative would suggest to take DeRozan's point total (25.5), I'm going to pivot and go with LaVine instead. If there's a team and a coach that's familiar with how DeRozan likes to spot up from midrange, it's Gregg Popovich and San Antonio.

Look for Chicago to keep the pace with LaVine, especially from outside where he's shooting over 40% this year against a Spurs team that ranks just  19th in opposing three point percentage. -- Ben Heisler
