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

  • Bobby Portis OVER 13.5 Points (-110)
  • Jordan Poole OVER 30.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-110)
  • Jonas Valanciunas OVER 13.5 Points (-125)

Bobby Portis OVER 13.5 Points (-110)

Bobby Portis has stepped up in a big way for the Milwaukee Bucks this season when one of their three stars (Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton or Jrue Holiday) has been out of the lineup. 

Portis stepped up in a big way in Game 3, taking 14 shots and scoring 18 points in a blowout win. With Middleton out of the lineup this season, Portis has thrived, averaging 14.7 points on 12.9 field goal attempts per game. 

Portis got the start in Game 3, and he’s averaging 15.5 points per game as a starter this season while taking 12.5 shots per game. As a reserve, he’s averaging just 10.4 points per game on 10.4 shots. 

Portis should be in line for a big role again in Game 4, and I think this number is far too low after his strong Game 3 showing.  -- Peter Dewey

Jordan Poole OVER 30.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-110)

If oddsmakers want to hang this low of a line for Jordan Poole, I will gladly take it. 

Poole has been fantastic for the Golden State Warriors in this series with the Denver Nuggets, as he’s scored 30, 29 and 27 points in the first three games. 

The third-year guard has tallied PRA totals of 34, 42 and 33 in those games, and I think he can ride another big scoring night on Sunday to hit this prop. 

Poole is scoring with a crazy efficiency, shooting 66.7 percent from the field on 14 shots per game this postseason. He’s also getting to the line at a high rate, taking 7.0 free throws per game. 

As long as Poole keeps seeing this volume, he’s going to have a great shot at reaching 25-plus points, which should help carry him over this prop. -- Peter Dewey

Jonas Valanciunas OVER 13.5 Points (-125)

It has not been a strong playoff series for Valanciunas when it comes to his point totals, but I like him in a bounce-back spot today against the Suns at home.

The Pels must continue to get him looks inside to help space the floor against a terrific Suns defense, and when he's active on pick and roll, he can also get some putback opportunities as well, given that he's had 25, 13 and 11 rebounds so far this series.

Knowing that the Suns will make more adjustments after giving up 125 and 114 their last two games, expect more opportunities to slow it down and give him touches in the paint. -- Ben Heisler
