Free NBA DFS Picks Cheat Sheet For 12/20
Our NBA betting cheat sheet today is ready to roll! Memphis is in a challenging spot from a personnel perspective, and that’s where our NBA betting focus is today.
Let’s break it down!
BEST POINTS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Jaren Jackson Jr. > 21.5 Points
JJJ gets a massive usage bump without the trio of Grizzlies that are out in a cupcake matchup.
BEST REBOUNDS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Jock Landale > 6.5 Rebounds
This is a really generous line. Landale has been logging major minutes, and he’ll have to help fill the void of Edey. Read more about the Grizzlies’ bets today, courtesy of Justin Carlucci.
BEST ASSISTS PROP
NBA Player Prop: Desmond Bane > 4.5 Assists
The Jazz continue to roll out one of the worst defensive ratings in the league and play at a rapid pace.
UNDERDOG FANTASY POINTS PICK
Pick: Luka Doncic > 62.55 FPTS – Have to keep riding the Luka train as long as Austin Reaves is out. Deandre Ayton also sidelined. Doncic should feast once more.
