Best NBA Prop Bets Record to Date

Here are the plays I am eyeing for tonight’s slate with all odds via WynnBET:

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Tyrese Maxey 2+ 3-Pointers Made (-125)
  • De’Aaron Fox OVER 25.5 Points (+100)
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OVER 27.5 Points (-120)

Tyrese Maxey 2+ 3-Pointers Made (-125)

Tyrese Maxey has failed to hit two 3-balls in back-to-back games, but he’s due to bounce back against Denver on Monday

Prior to this two-game drought, Maxey had hit multiple 3-pointers in six straight games. His shots have gone down over the last two contests, taking just 17 combined after averaging 14.0 shots per game in his first six games with James Harden in the lineup. 

I like Maxey to turn things around tonight.  

De’Aaron Fox OVER 25.5 Points (+100)

I love that we’re getting this prop at even money, as De’Aaron Fox is averaging 29.1 points per game over his last 14 games since returning from injury.

The Sacramento Kings star has cleared this line in 11 of those 14 games, and now he gets a Chicago Bulls team that has fallen all the way to 21st in the NBA in defensive rating. 

Fox has been playing some of his best basketball of the year with Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton gone, as the ball is in his hands a whole lot more. Give me the over on this all day. 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OVER 27.5 Points (-120)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed his scoring prop against the Minnesota Timberwolves, shooting just 2-for-15 from the field, but he bounced back in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s last game, scoring 31 against the Memphis Grizzlies. 

SGA has been an absolute moneymaker in his scoring props, averaging 30.2 points per game since the All-Star break and clearing this number in eight of his nine games. 

I’ll trust him to get back on track against the Charlotte Hornets’ porous defense on Monday.
