Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Kevin Huerter OVER 2.5 3 Pointers (+105)
  • CJ McCollum UNDER 25.5 Points (-115)
  • Jonas Valanciunas OVER 12.5 Rebounds (-130)
  • Marcus Morris Sr. 2+ Threes (+100)

Kevin Huerter OVER 2.5 3 Pointers (+105)

Since the beginning of March, Huerter has made 2.7 3's on 6.6 attempts (41%) and hit 3 of them in the team's blowout victory over the Hornets in the first Play-In game. If the Cavs are going to sell out to stop Trae Young like they did with the Nets dynamic duo, Young will find open shooters all along the perimeter like Huerter. The wing got 6 attempts up in the victory on Wednesday and I see a ton of opportunities on Friday night as well given the Cavs defensive scheme. – Reed Wallach 

CJ McCollum UNDER 25.5 Points (-115)

Yes, McCollum is coming off an amazing game against the Spurs, but a majority of that work came in the first half. He only scored 5 points in the second half of that game, so I see this line as an overreaction to a hot start. Also, McCollum has played the Clippers four times this season. He hasn’t cleared this line once. With Robert Covington and Norman Powell expected to play defense on him, McCollum is down to have a down game.  – Donnavan Smoot

Jonas Valenciunas Over 12.5 Rebounds (-130)

This is a huge number and Valenciunas hasn't hit double-digit rebounds in three straight, but he's well-positioned to have a huge performance today. Over the last 15 games, the Pelicans rank No. 1 in the NBA in rebound percentage while the Clippers are 25th. Los Angeles just doesn't have the bodies down low to slow down the Pelicans big man and we saw that play out in the regular season.

In four regular season matchups between these teams, Valenciunas had 53 total rebounds and cleared this prop three times. I expect New Orleans to force the Clippers into difficult shots and expect a lot of rebound opportunities. Valenciunas will play heavy minutes and should clear this prop for the fourth time in five games against Los Angeles. – Joe Summers

Marcus Morris Sr. 2+ Threes (+100)

Morris has hit this prop in two of his last three and has been firing away from deep, averaging 6.7 three-point attempts per game in that stretch.

He hit four of six against the Pelicans when they played two weeks ago and had nine attempts from deep when they played in February. It's clear the Clippers' strategy against New Orleans involves a heavy dose of Morris, and I love his chances to clear this prop against them yet again. – Joe Summers
