Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • DeMar DeRozan OVER 5 Rebounds (-105)
  • Javonte Green UNDER 7.5 Points (-125)
  • Luka Garza OVER 10.5 Points (-105)
  • Mike Conley Jr. OVER 16.5 Points (-125)

DeMar DeRozan OVER 5 Rebounds (-105)

The Hawks and Bulls played a high-scoring game in their matchup on Monday, and with John Collins still out, I think DeRozan can build on his five-rebound performance last time out. 

DeRozan is averaging 5.1 rebounds per game this season, but I like that we’re getting this number at five because of a recent cold stretch on the glass.

Prior to landing in the NBA’s health and safety protocols, DeRozan had five or more boards in seven of eight games, but he has failed to hit the over in his last four games since returning. 

I’m going to buy low on DeRozan here and bet on an up-and-down game tonight that allows for plenty of rebounding opportunities. -- Peter Dewey

Javonte Green UNDER 7.5 Points (-125)

As a Bulls fan, I've enjoyed taking part in the Javonte Green experience this year. His energy off the bench, along with his solid rebounding and tenacious on-ball defense have been a breath of fresh air for a squad that refused to defend over the last several seasons.

While he's seen 26-plus minutes in the last six games, I can't get behind his prop for points, even against an up-tempo Hawks team.

Part of why Green got the minutes he did versus Trae Young and company in their last game on Monday was due to his defensive help. Coby White was out-matched, so Green blanketed him and White got his shot going instead. I'd expect more of the same tonight.

With so many mouths to feed on Chicago's end with DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic, and now White getting extended minutes for Lonzo Ball in the health and safety protocol, Javonte can be a key stopper for Atlanta's best player, and chip in with a few points and boards along the way. I'll take the under 7.5 -- Ben Heisler

Luka Garza OVER 10.5 Points (-105)

You will not find a bigger Luka Garza fan than yours truly. The Pistons finally gave him some minutes in their last game out, and the former college basketball player of the year delivered, scoring 20 points on 50% shooting from the field. I don't care that he's too big, too small, not athletic enough for the NBA, etc. etc., the guy is an absolute baller. 

Tonight, he and the Pistons face a New York Knicks team that ranks 19th in defensive efficiency, so Garza will find his opportunities. – Iain MacMillan

Mike Conley Jr. OVER 16.5 Points (-125)

Donovan Mitchell was out in the Jazz’s last game and he will be out again tonight. With him gone, everyone else needs to pick up the slack and Mike Conley Jr. has been doing that. He’s cleared this line in three of his last five games. 

Tonight, the Jazz take on the Portland Trail Blazers, who are bottom five in defensive rating and have a majority of their normal rotation in the health and safety protocol. Conley had a bad night from three on Monday. If he can bounce back and shoot higher than 16%, then he’ll have a good night against a weak Blazers’ defense. – Donnavan Smoot
