Free NBA DFS Picks Cheat Sheet For Today
Our NBA betting cheat sheet today is ready to roll!
Let’s break it down.
BEST POINTS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Naji Marshall > 15.5 Points
Not the best of matchups, but someone has to score for the shorthanded Mavs. AD, Kyrie, D’Angelo Russell, PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford are out, while Cooper Flagg is questionable. Marshall has stepped into a bigger offensive role due to the injuries.
BEST REBOUNDS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Jalen Duren > 10.5 Rebounds
Duren is averaging 13.8 rebounds per 36 minutes heading into a home date with the Celtics. The Pistons are favored by 3.5 at home.
BEST ASSISTS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Davion Mitchell > 6.5 Assists
Mitchell has been a nice surprise for the Heat this season. He’s a pass-first guard who’s averaging a career-best 9.0 assists per 36 minutes in 2025/26.
