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.

UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS PICK

Pick: Jaylen Brown > 43.55 Fantasy Points

In a tricky road game against the Pistons, the Celtics need every ounce of production they can get out of Brown, who’s having a career year in the absence of Jayson Tatum.

Good luck!
