Best NBA Prop Bets Record to Date

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

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Drew Eubanks OVER 7.5 Rebounds (+100)
  • Cory Joseph OVER 10.5 Points and Assists (-120)
  • James Harden OVER 23.5 Points (-125)
  • Jimmy Butler UNDER 22.5 Points (-125)

Drew Eubanks OVER 7.5 Rebounds (+100)

Drew Eubanks has started all four games since signing with the Portland Trail Blazers, averaging 24 minutes per contest. During that span, he's been averaging an impressive 7.8 rebounds per game. Now, he and the Blazers are set to take on the Timberwolves for the second straight time. Eubanks grabbed eight boards in their first meeting, and I'm willing to bet on him hitting that number again tonight.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA, grabbing just 48.8% of available boards. This leaves Eubanks a favorable matchup to hit the over on his rebounding total tonight, and I like it even more being at even money. – Iain MacMillan

Cory Joseph OVER 10.5 Points and Assists (-120)

Cory Joseph continues to play quality minutes alongside Cade Cunningham and Killian Hayes in Detroit, and they've got a dream matchup tonight at home against the Atlanta Hawks who rank 27th in defensive rating and give up the most points to the shooting guard position in the entire NBA.

While Joseph has only cleared this total in two of his last five games, his consistent minutes on the court in a high-paced game set him up for more shots and opportunities to dish it out trying to keep up with Atlanta. There's also the possibility that Hamidou Diallo is out, which would set up even more scoring chances for Joseph as well. -- Ben Heisler

James Harden OVER 23.5 Points (-125)

I am surprised that we’re getting James Harden’s points prop at this number, as he’s put up 27, 29, 26 and 25 points in his first four games in Philadelphia. 

The Chicago Bulls are 20th in the NBA in defensive rating this season, and Harden should have his way with this defense with Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball out of the lineup. 

Harden hasn’t taken a ton of shots (12.3 per game), but he is getting to the line a ton (10.3 free throws per game) since arriving in Philly. Give me the over in this one. – Peter Dewey

Jimmy Butler UNDER 22.5 Points (-125)

Jimmy Butler is averaging under 20 points in his last 13 games and has gone under this in eight of them.

 In a projected blowout against a Houston Rockets team on a back-to-back, I see the Miami Heat attacking this game by committee. Kyle Lowry may be back in the lineup so maybe Butler gets more off-ball reps, but given his current form this number is two points too high for my liking. – Reed Wallach
