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

  • Darius Garland OVER 23.5 Points (-125)
  • Scottie Barnes OVER 6.5 Rebounds (+100)

Darius Garland OVER 23.5 Points (-125)

I’m fading the Cleveland Cavaliers as underdogs on Wednesday, but I’m going to back Darius Garland to have a big game with so many key players out, including Evan Mobley. 

Yes, Dallas is one of the better defensive teams in the NBA, but Garland has been on fire since returning from his back injury, clearing this line in 11 of his last 14 games, averaging 25.8 points per game on 42.6 percent shooting from the field. 

You know I’m all about opportunity, and Garland is taking 19.8 field goal attempts and 6.8 3-point attempts over this stretch. He’s going to need to have similar volume for the Cavs to hang around in this one. – Peter Dewey

Scottie Barnes OVER 6.5 Rebounds (+100)

Scottie Barnes has come extremely close to clearing this line as of late. He’s gotten six rebounds in four of his last five games. 

However, tonight is the night he gets that magic seventh rebound. Barnes is already close to the number, he just needs a little boost. The Minnesota Timberwolves are in the bottom third of the league in rebounding percentage over the last 10 games. 

On top of that, Barnes is the second-best rebounder on the Toronto Raptors, averaging 7.6 boards per game. Barnes needs to play like he normally does against a substandard rebounding team and all will be well. – Donnavan Smoot
