Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Gary Trent Jr. 4+ Threes (+100)
  • Dejounte Murray OVER 36.5 Points, Rebounds, Assists (-125)
  • Kyle Kuzma UNDER 20.5 Pts (-135)

Gary Trent Jr. 4+ Threes (+100)

Gary Trent Jr. has been on fire from 3 lately. He’s been on fire from everywhere, if we’re being honest. He’s scored 30 in his last four games and has hit at least five 3s in each of those games. He’s also made at least four 3s in each of the last five games. 

Trent is bombing away from downtown. He’s attempted at least 10 3-pointers in five of the last seven games. As long as he’s taking them, I’ll bet on Trent Jr. and his 39% from deep average to make them. – Donnavan Smoot

Dejounte Murray OVER 36.5 Points, Rebounds, Assists (-125)

Dejounte Murray has been an absolute beast as of late, averaging 22.9 points, 9.9 assists and 8.6 rebounds per game over his last 14 games since returning from the league’s health and safety protocols. 

That means Murray is averaging 42.4 points, rebounds and assists per game, yet his number is set at 36.5 against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. Yes, the Warriors have the best defense in the NBA, but they are also on the second game of a back-to-back. 

Murray has cleared this number in 10 of his last 14, and I think he is a great bet to come through again after getting a game off for rest on Sunday. – Peter Dewey

Kyle Kuzma UNDER 20.5 Pts (-135)

Kyle Kuzma is coming off one of his best offensive performances of the season, dropping 30 points on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies, albeit in a 20-point 115-95 loss for the Washington Wizards. With Kuzma's prop number soaring, I'll go ahead and move in the opposite direction against a lengthy Bucks front court that should be much more set to slow him down.

Prior to last night's 30-point outburst, Kuzma had not gone over 20 points in his last six games.

Also, his 3-point success is usually the indicator of whether he'll go off or not. When he dropped six-straight 20-point games to start January, he was shooting more than 6.3 3-pointers per game. Last night, he attempted eight.

For the season, Kuzma shoots just 33.1% from 3-point range, averaging 16 a game. Expect him to come back to earth this evening. -- Ben Heisler
