Free NBA DFS Picks Cheat Sheet For Thursday, December 4th
Let’s dive into the good stuff. Check out our favorite picks for some of the major prop markets today.
BEST POINTS PROP: Derrick White > 21.5 Points
White has struggled with his shot for most of the season, but his efficiency is trending in the right direction. After shooting just 34.8% from the floor over his first 16 games, he has been at 46.4% in his last four games. He’s cleared 21.5 points in two of those four games, and now Jaylen Brown (35.5% USG) is doubtful to play. With Brown off the floor this season, White leads Boston with a 31.6% usage rate, and he also gets one of the best possible matchups against the Wizards.
BEST REBOUNDS PROP: Neemias Queta > 9.5 Rebounds
Queta’s playing time has been all over the place, but he is locked into a starting role and has a floor of at least 20 minutes. Jaylen Brown’s expected absence (doubtful) should raise that floor a little. Quetta gets the best possible rebounding matchup against Washington. They have played at the fifth-fastest pace and allow the second-most rebounds in the league. Washington will also be without their top rebounder, Alex Sarr. Two games ago, Queta exploded for 18 boards in 28 minutes, so the upside is there.
BEST ASSISTS PROP: Julius Randle > 5.5 Assists
The Wolves are mostly operating without a true point guard. Dante DiVincenzo and Anthony Edwards bring the ball up the court most of the time, but once they get into the offense, Julius Randle operates as the pivot man. His playmaking has been on display all season, as he averages 6.0 assists per game. Tonight, he gets an elite matchup against a Pelicans team that ranks 28th in defensive efficiency and allows the fifth-most assists per game.
TOP LADDER PICK TODAY: Anthony Edwards Points
Anthony Edwards has quietly taken his game to another level this season. He is averaging a career-best 29.8 points per game and 63% true shooting. He is coming off a season-high 44 points in his last game, but it was already his fourth game scoring 40+ points. He gets an elite matchup against the Pelicans, who rank 29th in defensive efficiency and allow the third-most points per game.
- 33+ Points 1.21x
- 35+ Points 1.49x
- 40+ Points 3.28x
- 44+ Points 7.5x
UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS PICK: Keyonte George > 37.05 Fantasy Points
Keyonte George has been playing incredible basketball for the Jazz this season, averaging 22.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. He gets a dream matchup against Brooklyn, who has one of the worst defenses in basketball. George has scored 40+ FP in four of his last five games, with his lone miss coming in a game he tried to play through an illness.
