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

  • Draymond Green OVER 7.5 Assists (-120)
  • Bones Hyland OVER 1.5 3-Pointers (-135)
  • Nikola Jokic OVER 30.5 Points (-130)
  • Jordan Poole OVER 19.5 Points (-125)

Draymond Green OVER 7.5 Assists (-120)

The best defensive player in the NBA (yes, you heard me Marcus Smart) when healthy was missed dearly in Game 4 as the Denver Nuggets went on to win at home; avoiding a sweep to the Golden State Warriors.

Green being out of the game was devastating defensively, so I think the Warriors will look to keep him on the floor as often as possible.

As for his assists total, he's either stayed right by it (six in Game 2 and 4), or blown by it (nine in Game 1, 10 in Game 3) and helps facilitate the offense to buy open looks for the Splash Brothers.

Green can rack up assists real quick, and with Denver ranking last in the playoffs in defensive rating, expect Green to set a tone early at home. -- Ben Heisler

Bones Hyland OVER 1.5 3-Pointers (-135)

Bones Hyland was a major reason why the Nuggets won Game 4, as he scored 15 points in 20 minutes and hit 3-of-6 shots from beyond the arc. 

Over his last 10 games, Hyland has cleared this line seven times, and he’s taken 18 3-pointers in four games in this series. 

I’d be shocked if Denver didn’t go to Hyland for a scoring boost early in this game, and it’s worth noting the only game he missed this line in this series came when he played his fewest minutes (14) in Game 3. I love Bones to get hot from 3 on Wednesday. – Peter Dewey

Nikola Jokic OVER 30.5 Points (-130)

Jokic has gone MVP-mode in the last two games, scoring 37 points in each. The Warriors’ best lineup is an extremely small lineup, which allows Jokic to get whatever he wants. After big performances from Monte Morris and Bones Hyland, the Warriors may be a little more hesitant to lay off them.

Draymond Green can’t stop Jokic from getting to the rim, and if the Nuggets begin to hunt switches, then it’s not a fair fight. Jokic is going to give all he has tonight and should get to this number fairly quickly. – Donnavan Smoot

Jordan Poole OVER 19.5 Points (-125)

It's at the point where just take the Warriors splash triplet with the lowest point total. 

Jordan Poole is coming off an 11 point game, but cleared this total in the prior three matchups in this series. Back at home, I'll back Poole to crush this prop after scoring 27 or more before the Game 4 downturn. – Reed Wallach
