Best NBA Prop Bets Record to Date

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

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Karl-Anthony Towns UNDER 42.5 Points, Rebounds, Assists (-125)
  • Kyrie Irving OVER 28.5 Points (-125)
  • Malik Beasley OVER 2.5 3-Pointers (+160)

Karl-Anthony Towns UNDER 42.5 Points, Rebounds, Assists (-125)

Call me crazy, but this line seems way too high for Karl-Anthony Towns, who is averaging 24.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game this season. 

KAT has gone over this number just once over his last 11 games. On top of that, he has struggled against the Los Angeles Clippers this season, averaging just 15.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game over three matchups. 

Towns may get a few more minutes with the No. 7 seed and a chance to avoid the Phoenix Suns on the line, but he’s not going to get to this number against a tough Clippers defense. – Peter Dewey 

Kyrie Irving OVER 28.5 Points (-125)

One of my bold predictions for this game is that Irving will have at least 45 points and assists combined.

Irving has dropped 40 points four times in the 15 games. He is having an insane performance at least once a week. We all know just how clutch Irving is and how he rises to the occasion. With a chance to get a higher seed tonight, I expect Irving to be at his best and deliver a great performance.

He dropped 40 points a week ago today and had 35 against the Pacers to finish the season. Irving is on fire right now and will capitalize today.

This line is much more conservative than my prediction, so I am very comfortable with taking the over on this prop. – Donnavan Smoot

Malik Beasley OVER 2.5 3-Pointers (+160)

The total for Clippers-Timberwolves has gone up slightly since the opening number of 230, and I think the Timberwolves' will look to push the pace on the veteran Clippers when they can; creating some open corner 3s in the process.

Beasley has hit this number in four of his last five games, getting solid minutes in the high 20s and low 30s in three of them. He's never afraid to shoot, averaging just under 10 attempts a game, the bulk of which come from beyond the arc.

Shooters shoot, and Beasley won't be hesitant to pull the trigger more often than not today. -- Ben Heisler
