Best NBA Prop Bets Today

• Steph Curry OVER 26.5 Points (-130)
• Hamidou Diallo OVER 16.5 Points (-105)
• Bradley Beal UNDER 8.5 Assists (-105)

Steph Curry OVER 26.5 Points (-130)

Can you say overreaction? 

Yes, Steph Curry shot just 3-for-17 in his last game, but WynnBET has moved this prop below his season average of 27.2 points per game. 

Despite some shooting struggles, Curry has cleared this number in five of his last seven games and is still hitting 39.3 percent of his shots from deep this season. The Mavericks are far from an elite defense, and I think Curry will bounce back in a big way. 

He followed up his last poor shooting performance (7-for-28 on Dec. 4) with a 31-point game the following game. I’ll gladly take the over at this number on Wednesday. – Peter Dewey

Hamidou Diallo OVER 16.5 Points (-105)

Diallo has been on a tear over the last week. He’s scored over 30 points in two of his last four games and has cleared this line in three of the last four games. While he hit the under in his last game, he was going up against Jrue Holiday and his stifling defense. 

Still, Diallo had a good amount of shots to justify taking the over tonight. Diallo isn’t a great 3-point shooter, but he has upped his volume and can get one from downtown. – Donnavan Smoot

Bradley Beal UNDER 8.5 Assists (-105)

Once again, the NBA prop gods have blessed us with another opportunity to fade Bradley Beal at a huge assist number tonight when they host the Houston Rockets, and furthermore, get it with outstanding odds as well.

As I mentioned in my NBA props play on Monday, while Beal may be on a high with distributing the basketball right now, the Wizards are still without several key guys and ultimately need to rely on him to be the scoring threat, especially in crunch time. Their 124-121 win over Charlotte was a perfect example. He was looking to get guys open early, but took over to score 35 late in the game.

Here's the other thing. Beal has played just under 43 minutes on average in his last two games. With Houston struggling, this may be an opportune time to give the Wizards' best player some meaningful rest.

Beal will still ball out, just not to the tune of more than nine assists. -- Ben Heisler
