Best NBA Prop Bets Record to Date

  • NBA Best Prop Bets Record: 142-118-4

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

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Brandon Ingram OVER 22.5 Points (-105)
  • Julius Randle OVER 19.5 Points (-115)
  • Stephen Curry OVER 23.5 Points (-120)

Brandon Ingram OVER 22.5 Points (-105)

Brandon Ingram has cleared this line in three of the last six games. In two of the three games he missed, he missed by one point. Ingram is the leading scorer for the New Orleans Pelicans and will have the shots to warrant a big game. The New York Knicks have been better defensively as of late, but Ingram is coming off two bad games and is due for a little positive regression. 

If Ingram can stay away from a wildly inefficient night from three, 23 points should be in the cards for him. -- Donnavan Smoot

Julius Randle OVER 19.5 Points (-115)

I’m surprised this Randle number has dropped below 20 points even though he had 21 points in the Knicks’ loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. 

Randle only scored 10 points in his first meeting with the Pelicans, but it was because RJ Barrett had a career-high 35 in the game and Randle took just nine shots. 

Jules has cleared this number in four of his last eight games and is averaging 19.1 points per game on the seasons. New Orleans is just 24th in the NBA in defensive rating this season, so I think Randle can have a big game on Thursday. -- Peter Dewey

Stephen Curry OVER 23.5 Points (-120)

This line has dipped too low. I get that Steph Curry has struggled of late, going below 20 points in three straight games, but this is a great spot for the Golden State Warriors guard to go off. Since Jan. 1, the Indiana Pacers’ defense is fourth worst in the league and are coming in on the second night of a back-to-back after playing a close game with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Don't overthink it, back Curry. -- Reed Wallach

If you’ve read Peter Dewey’s NBA best bets for today, you know that the Pacers are likely to keep it close with Golden State tonight as the Warriors have played some of their most inconsistent basketball; losing five of the last eight games.

If we agree with the narrative that Indiana should keep it more competitive than the 11.5-point spread over at WynnBET indicates, then Curry will need to play a more prominent role than he has over the last three games. He’s played an average of just over 28 minutes, pitching in just under 16 points per game.

When Curry gets more minutes, his points and usage rate skyrocket, and this should be the case tonight. 23.5 is too low for someone like him, especially at home where he’s due to break out of his slump. — Ben Heisler
