Best NBA Prop Bets Record to Date

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

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Tyus Jones OVER 12.5 Points (-120)
  • Nikola Jokic OVER 48.5 Points, Rebounds Assists (-105)
  • DeMar DeRozan OVER 23.5 Points (-125)

Tyus Jones OVER 12.5 Points (-120)

I like Tyus Jones to stay in the thick of things with the surging Memphis Grizzlies, who haven't missed a beat since Ja Morant went down with an injury, winners of four straight. In those four, Jones has played 25 or more in all of them and has scored 13 or more in all but one of them. 

He has been efficient on 51/61/81 shooting splits and Memphis has a great matchup tonight against the Warriors, who are planning to sit several starters like Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. – Reed Wallach

Nikola Jokic OVER 48.5 Points, Rebounds Assists (-105)

Nikola Jokics is in a great spot against a Charlotte Hornets team that is one a back-to-back on Monday. 

The Hornets are third to last in the NBA in rebounding percentage, and they are 19th in opponent points in the paint per game this season. The last time these teams played, Jokic put up 29 points, 21 rebounds and five assists. 

The Joker has also cleared this line in four of his last six games. I think Jokic has a field day against the Hornets weak frontcourt and I love getting him at -105 odds to go over this number. – Peter Dewey

DeMar DeRozan OVER 23.5 Points (-125)

After once being as high as +800 at WynnBET Sportsbook to win the NBA MVP, things have settled back down for DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls, who are clinging onto the No. 5 spot in the East. Tonight, they face a New York Knicks team at Madison Square Garden trying to claw their way back into contention for the play-in tournament.

In DeRozan's last two games against New York, he's played 38 minutes, averaged 32.5 points, and taken an average of 19.5 shots and 10 free throws, shooting 95 percent from the line.

The Knicks' style of play suits DeRozan's half-court game perfectly. When the Bulls are in transition, he usually looks to facilitate, rather than run high screen-and-roll with Nikola Vucevic to get to his spot in the mid-range. If you double-team him, he'll pass out, and I think the Knicks will settle for open twos versus 3-pointers.-- Ben Heisler
