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 19.5 Points (-125)
  • Julius Randle OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-125)
  • Khris Middleton OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-115)

Kyrie Irving OVER 19.5 Points (-125)

This is why Kyrie Irving is playing in a part time role right now, for nights like this. The slumping Brooklyn Nets scratched out an overtime win against the Spurs and now have to fly across the country to face the Portland Trail Blazers in a rescheduled game from last month. While head coach Steve Nash may not give James Harden and Kevin Durant the night off, Irving is going to receive more reps as Durant and Harden see somewhat of a tighter leash.

Irving scored 22 points in 32 minutes in his season debut last week, and this number is downplaying the spot for him to show out again. Not to mention, the Blazers are on a back-to-back and are bottom three in terms of defensive rating. Fire away on Irving's prop bets. – Reed Wallach

Julius Randle OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-125)

Julius Randle is averaging 10.1 rebounds per game for the New York Knicks this season, but this prop has been money over his last eight games. 

Randle has picked up double-digit boards in five of his last eight games, averaging 11.6 rebounds per game over that stretch. 

The San Antonio Spurs are already short-handed in this one, and they rank 19th in the NBA in rebounding percentage this season while the Knicks are 12th. I like Randle to stay strong on the glass in this one. – Peter Dewey

Khris Middleton OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-115)

Khris Middleton has averaged 5.5 rebounds this season, but he's been extra hot as of late, recording at least six rebounds in four straight games. He's also coming off a 10 rebound performance against Charlotte on Jan. 8. 

The Milwaukee Bucks will now face the Hornets again in the second half of a back-to-back, and I expect Middleton to have another big game. Charlotte ranks dead last in the NBA in rebounding percentage, grabbing just 47.6% of available boards. I think Middleton hits over this number for the fifth straight game. – Iain MacMillan
