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

  • Kyrie Irving OVER 26.5 Points (-120)
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 30.5 Points (-115)
  • Bobby Portis OVER 8.5 Rebounds (-105)

Kyrie Irving OVER 26.5 Points (-120)

The Brooklyn Nets just dealt away James Harden, but they are facing a Washington Wizards team that traded away Aaron Holiday, Spencer Dinwiddie, Davis Bertans and Montrezl Harrell on Thursday. 

This sets up great for Irving, who is back in the lineup on the road after a 27-point game his last time out. The Wizards are going to be short handed, and they’ve fallen to 22nd in the NBA in defensive rating. 

Irving is going to take as many shots as he wants (26 last game), so I like him to lead the way for Brooklyn tonight. – Peter Dewey

Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 30.5 Points (-115)

The last time we saw Giannis Antetokounmpo play the Phoenix Suns he dropped 50 points. It was clear they had nobody to guard him and that is still the case. Deandre Ayton can’t guard him all game and Javale McGee surely can’t guard him.

The Greek Freak scored the easiest 44 points of his life against the Los Angeles Lakers and he’ll keep that momentum going tonight. – Donnavan Smoot

Bobby Portis OVER 8.5 Rebounds (-105)

The reinforcements are out post-NBA Trade Deadline as Bobby Portis is set to see extended minutes in tonight’s NBA Finals rematch.

While the Suns remain the best team in the league, they don’t have a true option to guard Portis inside, especially if they look to put their best rim protectors up against Giannis in the paint.

Portis has only hit this prop one time over his last seven games, the Suns’ outstanding defense will give him more opportunities to clean up misses from his own team’s side, giving him the boost he needs to clear his over. – Ben Heisler
