Best NBA Prop Bets Record to Date

  • NBA Best Prop Bets Record: 144-121-4 (+3.8792 units)

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

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Jarrett Allen OVER 13.5 Points (-125)
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OVER 24.5 Points (-120)

Jarrett Allen OVER 13.5 Points (-125)

Jarrett Allen is averaging 16.3 points per game this season, and he’s cleared this number in seven of 12 games since returning from the NBA’s health and safety protocols. 

The Knicks are banged up down low after Mitchell Robinson suffered a sprained ankle on Sunday, and Taj Gibson struggled in relief against the Clippers, picking up four fouls in less than six minutes of action. 

I think Allen can take advantage of a Knicks team that may have to go small more than it would like tonight. 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OVER 24.5 Points (-120)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 22.8 points per game this season, but he has scored 29 or more points in five of his last seven games heading into Monday’s game against the Chicago Bulls

The Bulls are down two of their best guard defenders in Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso, and Javonte Green (questionable) could miss this game too. Gilgeous-Alexander has also taken 18 or more shots in each of his last seven games, so I’m betting on the volume and poor defense to lead to a big scoring game. 

I think SGA is able to take advantage of the short-handed Bulls on Monday and put up another big scoring performance.
