Best NBA Bets Today
- Bruce Brown OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-125)
- Grizzlies -1.5 vs. Bucks (-110)
- Desmond Bane OVER 20.5 Points (-125)
Bruce Brown OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-125)
Bruce Brown has cleared this line in his last three games and four of his last six. The two games that he missed this line in, he missed by one rebound. Brown is a do-it-all guy for the Nets and is always around the basketball. With the Heat struggling to put their best foot forward right now, I see this as an opportunity for Brown to get some ugly rebounds and fill up the stat sheet.
Grizzlies -1.5 vs. Bucks (-110)
With neither team having their star, I have to back the Grizzlies in this one. Without Morant, Memphis is still a powerhouse. The Grizzlies are 15-2 and play at a pace that would give them the best net rating in the league.
Milwaukee isn't terrible without Giannis Antetokounmpo, but they are significantly less than optimal. The Bucks are 6-7 this season without him. Tonight, they'll be without the Greek Freak and Khris Middleton. That leaves Jrue Holiday to go 1-on-5 against Memphis.
Desmond Bane has shown the ability to keep the offense moving and Jaren Jackson Jr. is in the conversation for Defensive Player of the Year. Milwaukee will have trouble staying in front of the Grizzlies tonight, so i'll hammer this close line in favor of Memphis.
Desmond Bane OVER 20.5 Points (-125)
Bane has cleared this line in eight of his last 10 games. With Ja Morant out, Bane has been a focal point of the offense and gets great volume to pass this prop. He scored 30 points against Indiana in less than 25 minutes the last time out. Bane is efficient, a great shooter and is getting the star treatment. The Bucks will likely deploy Jrue Holiday on Bane to slow him down, but Bane have a lot of opportunities and shots to get through that obstacle.
